Like The Rolling Stones, The Who are entering their seventieth decade and, also like the Stones, have only two original members left - a charismatic lead singer and an equally iconic lead guitarist. Mick Jagger, Keith Richards, Roger Daltrey, Pete Townshend - British rock royalty. London rock royalty. Whereas The Stones were Dartford and the Thames Estuary, The Who were Acton, Shepherd's Bush and Goldhawk Road. The Stones were grounded in the blues of the Mississippi Delta, for The Who it was US rhythm and blues (although they had their typically 1964 bluesy moments). They were hugely influential on bands like The Jam in particular, who pretty much worshipped them and covered several of their songs.
