The sound of a generation! The ultimate book for all "Wholigans" is this first official and authorized illustrated band history celebrating the 50th anniversary of the cult band. Featuring over 500 partly private and unpublished images from the band's archives! Fifty years ago, The Who created the anthem of the young post-war generation: The song "My Generation" and the eponymous debut album released on December 3, 1965, catapulted the band to fame, and in the following decades, John Entwistle, Roger Daltrey, Pete Townshend, and Keith Moon made music history as one of the most well-known rock bands of our time. This first official illustrated band history was created in collaboration with Pete Townshend and Roger Daltrey, the two remaining members of the original lineup, and celebrates the band's 50th anniversary. The book tells the story of the cult band.
