The Who is one of the most famous, successful, and influential bands of all time. Their legacy is immense, making them a painfully obvious choice for the Hall of Fame. They had a major impact on metal, punk, and other genres. They are noted for the first "rock opera", Tommy. The film coordinates the action with the music, and was adapted into a Broadway musical that won five Tonys. The film features Eric Clapton, Joe Cocker, and The Who themselves among other cameos. They were inducted their first year of eligibility. They received the Kennedy Center Honors. They were inducted by Bono from post punk band U2. They performed at both the Monterey International Pop Festival of 1967 and the legendary Woodstock Music and Art Fair of 1969. They were a part of the British invasion. They performed the 2010 Super Bowl halftime show. They were a part of an Animaniacs variant of the iconic comedy sketch Who's on First. Their song Boris the Spider is credited with inventing the "death growl" now used in death metal. A particularly famous concert is when they played at the Isle of Wight in England.
