Era & Context
Proto-punk a decade before punk existed. Townshend's power chords, Moon's anarchic drumming, and Entwistle's thunderous bass created a template for volume-as-expression that the Ramones and Sex Pistols would later codify.
Career Phase
Maximum R&B channeled through auto-destruction and pop-art wit. Keith Moon's chaotic drumming and Pete Townshend's power chords invented a template for punk a decade early, while The Who Sell Out anticipated concept album ambition.
