The Who were formed in February 1964 by which trio?

• A. Roger Daltrey, Pete Townshend, John Entwistle
• B. Roger Daltrey, Keith Moon, John Entwistle
• C. Pete Townshend, John Entwistle, Moon
• D. Roger Daltrey, Pete Townshend, Keith Moon

Answer: (A)

The group that would become The Who came together in February 1964 around Pete Townshend on guitar, John Entwistle on bass, and Roger Daltrey on vocals. Townshend and Entwistle had been playing together in the band that preceded The Who, and Daltrey joined as the singer at that time, solidifying the core trio. Keith Moon would soon join as the drummer, completing the classic lineup, but the formation in February is recognized as a collaboration of Townshend, Entwistle, and Daltrey.
