If any one member of The Who can be said to be the group's founding member it is singer Roger Daltrey, who was born in the West London suburb of Shepherd's Bush on March 1, 1944. Roger first assembled the group that would become the Who in 1961 while at Acton County School, recruiting John Entwistle and subsequently agreeing to John's proposal that Pete Townshend should join. In those days Roger, whose daytime job was in a sheet metal factory, even made the band's guitars, and it was his energy and ambition that drove the group during their formative years. That same energy, coupled with his unwavering resolve, has sustained the group during periods of uncertainty ever since.
Pete Townshend has composed, with few exceptions, all of The Who's incredible songs -- from the rock anthems to the introspective ballads. With albums such as "Tommy" to "Who's Next" to "Quadrophenia", Townshend has consistently pushed the limits on Rock and Roll's potential.
Townshend was ranked #3 in Dave Marsh's list of Best Guitarists in The New Book of Rock Lists #10 in Gibson.com's list of the top fifty guitarists, and #50 in Rolling Stone magazine's 2003 list: 100 Greatest Guitarists of All Time. Townshend was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame as a member of The Who in 1990. For over 40 years, Townshend has been generously working with charities that benefit those in need.
