The Who est un groupe britannique de rock, originaire de Londres, en Angleterre. Dans sa forme la plus connue et la plus durable, de 1964 à 1978, il est composé du guitariste et principal compositeur Pete Townshend, du chanteur Roger Daltrey, du bassiste John Entwistle et du batteur Keith Moon.Pratiquant au départ un rock 'n' roll explosif, désigné sous le terme de maximum R&B et précurseur (après les The Kinks|Kinks de la première période) du mouvement punk, le groupe connait de nombreux autres styles conformément à l'air du temps : album concept (''The Who Sell Out''), rock psychédélique aux paroles décalées (''A Quick One While He's Away''), opéra-rock (''TommyTommy'', ''QuadropheniaQuadrophenia''), boucles de synthétiseurs (''Who's Next''). Devenus l'un des symboles de la musique rock des années 1960, les Who l'ont influencée dans son ensemble ; on leur doit des chansons mythiques comme ''My Generation My Generation'', ''Substitute'', ''Pinball Wizard'', ''Behind Blue Eyes'', ''Baba O'Riley'', ''Won't Get Fooled Again'', ''Eminence Front'', ''Who Are You Who Are You'' ou ''I Can See for Miles'' et de nombreux albums consacrés par le public.

Their classic lineup (1964–1978) consisted of lead vocalist Roger Daltrey, guitarist Pete Townshend, bassist John Entwistle and drummer Keith Moon. Considered one of the most influential rock bands of the 20th century, their contributions to rock music include the development of the Marshall Stack|Marshall stack, large public address systems, the use of synthesizers, Entwistle's and Moon's influential playing styles, Townshend's Guitar feedback|feedback and power chord guitar technique, and the development of the rock opera. They are cited as an influence by many hard rock, punk rock|punk, power pop and mod (subculture)|mod bands. The Who were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1990. The Who evolved from an earlier group, the Detours, and established themselves as part of the pop art and mod (subculture)|mod movements, featuring auto-destructive art by Instrument destruction|destroying guitars and drums on stage. Their first single as the Who, "I Can't Explain" (1965, reached the UK top ten, and was followed by a string of hit singles including "My Generation" (1965, "Substitute (The Who song)|Substitute" and "Happy Jack (song)|Happy Jack" (both 1966). In 1967, they performed at the Monterey Pop Festival and released "I Can See for Miles", their only US top-ten single. The group's 1969 concept album ''Tommy (The Who album)|Tommy'' included the single "Pinball Wizard" and was a critical and commercial success. Further festival appearances at Woodstock and the Isle of Wight Festival|Isle of Wight, along with the concert album ''Live at Leeds'' (1970, established their reputation as a respected rock act. The success put pressure on lead songwriter Townshend, and the follow-up to ''Tommy'', ''Lifehouse (rock opera)|Lifehouse'', was abandoned. Songs from the project made up the album ''Who's Next'' (1971, including the hits "Won't Get Fooled Again", "Baba O'Riley", and "Behind Blue Eyes". The group released another concept album, ''Quadrophenia'' (1973, as a celebration of their mod roots, and oversaw the Tommy (1975 film)|film adaptation of ''Tommy'' (1975). They continued to tour to large audiences before semi-retiring from live performances at the end of 1976. The release of ''Who Are You'' (1978) was overshadowed by Moon's death shortly after. Kenney Jones replaced Moon and the group resumed touring, and released a Quadrophenia (film)|film adaptation of ''Quadrophenia'' and the retrospective rockumentary ''The Kids Are Alright (1979 film)|The Kids Are Alright'' (both 1979). The band embarked on the It's Hard Tour in support of their 1982 album, ''It's Hard''. After Townshend became weary of the group, they split in 1983. The Who occasionally re-formed for live appearances such as Live Aid in 1985, a 25th-anniversary tour in 1989 with Simon Phillips on drums and a tour of ''Quadrophenia'' in 1996–1997. A full reunion began in 1999, with drummer Zak Starkey. After Entwistle's death in 2002, plans for a new album were delayed until 2006, with ''Endless Wire (The Who album)|Endless Wire''. Since Entwistle's death, the Who have continued to perform and tour, most commonly with Starkey on drums, Pino Palladino on bass, and Pete's brother Simon Townshend on second guitar and backing vocals. In 2019, the group released their twelfth studio album Who (album)|''Who'' and supported the album with their Moving On!
