The measure of a man? A question of his worth? The merit of his metal? Today's challenge is really no challenge at all, but only stands to ask you one simple question:
Roger Daltry, Pete Townsend, Keith Moon, and John Entwhistle. In 1964 these four Brits came together to form what is, arguably, one of the greatest rock bands, ever. Crossing genres from Rock to Mod, with a little Punk, The Who have dished out some of the most iconic and memorable albums of all time, including the rock operas Tommy and Quadrophenia, as well as My Generation, Who's Next, and The Who by Numbers.
Their place as an all time rock legend was cemented with inductions into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1990, the UK Music Hall of Fame in 2005, and punctuated with the most watch NFL halftime show, ever, in 2009.
Today The Who are survived by Roger and Pete, who continue to preform both together, and apart on various projects. But no one can deny the power this band had, and still has, in the lives of so many.
