The Who: Much Too Much by Mike Evans (Hardcover)

The Who were one of the most popular and influential rock groups of the 1960s and 1970s.

Revered by fans, they became a world-class act, securing their longevity with sensational live performances and pioneering music.

From their early days as The Detours, they evolved, emerging at the vanguard of the UK Mod movement as The Who. With a vernacular of teenage angst, pop art-inspired attire, and sell-out shows at Londons Marquee Club, The Who cultivated a devoted following and captured the voice of a generation. Never more so than with their 1965 hit My Generation,its lyrics of youthful rebellion resounding as the anthem of its time.

The Who: Much Too Much follows the groups tumultuous history. Through the triumphs of Pete Townshends ambitious creations in rock operas Tommy and Quadrophenia, to Roger Daltreys forays into film and television, and the tragic death of first, Keith Moon, and then John Entwistle. Incisive text, archive reviews and interviews, and a track-by-track summary of all The Whos studio and live albums make this book a truly comprehensive look at a band that have held sway for more than half a century.

Sumptuously illustrated with a wealth of color and black-and-white photography, including album art, this book is a must-have celebration of one of the most enduring names in rock music history.
