I don't watch the superbowl, but I love the Who. Is that what you're asking?

I know them too. My dad only gets one radio station and they play then all the time. I think they are pretty good.

Never would have guessed from an OP like that.

Who doesn't know who The Who are. Isn't that like asking who are The Rolling Stones?

Who wouldn't? They were one of the best 60's bands.
One of the bands which invented styles and sounds that are used today.
You should feel stupid that you didn't know who they were and how to spell knew, not new.

Thats exactly what I'm talking about.

For men around 60 years old, they sounded pretty good. Their bassist died so the music was a bit lacking (the replacement didn't do so well).

I haven't seen the half time show yet though I've heard they were a bit disapointing. They are my favourite band and I would really hope there are few people who haven't heard of them.

It's Keith Moon who's the big loss. He's one of the greatest drummers of all time.

When the halftime show started it was all a bit of a dissapointment. The Who, which quite possibly could be the greatest band of all time struggled through there most popular songs. Roger Daltrey, there singer, clearly was way past his prime.

I don't think it helped that all their songs were about half their usual length... I don't think I've ever seen such a short Won't get fooled again.
