Seymour Kushner: Who’s Who
Among the many classic rock bands in Seymour Kushner’s music collection The Who certainly rank high on his list of favorites. Formed in 1964 by the now-legendary singer Roger Daltrey, The Who are still known for delivering high-energy rock and roll to this day. During their heyday in the 1960s and 70s, they played many renowned music festivals including Monterey Pop, the Isle of Wight, and of course, Woodstock.
In more recent years, they even played the Super Bowl halftime show. Their intense live shows were often volatile and, in what Rolling Stone deems one of rock and roll’s defining moments, guitarist Pete Townshend destroyed his guitar by smashing it on the stage during a 1964 concert in London. Their unique and uncompromising sound combined with their raucous stage show make them a staple of any rock lover’s collection.

Causing mass hysteria in a phenomenon called “Beatlemania” by the press on both sides of the Atlantic, the band certainly left a lasting footprint on our culture.
