About The Who
The Who moved between concise singles and larger connected album works. Tommy appeared in 1969, while Pete Townshend's Lifehouse project provided the starting point for Who's Next in 1971. The double album Quadrophenia followed in 1973. After Keith Moon's death, the group recorded Face Dances with Kenney Jones on drums. Roger Daltrey and Townshend continued the studio catalog with later musicians, including on WHO in 2019. The official discography distinguishes those group recordings from demos, member solo work and later concert versions.
