Roger is best known for being frontman of classic English rock band The Who. He met Pete Townsend and John Entwhistle at school. He made his own first guitar out of a block of plywood, it was a copy of a Red Stratocaster. On May 31, 1976, at a concert in London, The Who set a Guinness World Record for the loudest band in history.  The Who are considered one of the most influential rock bands of the 20th century and have sold over 100 million records worldwide.  Roger received a Grammy Lifetime Achievement award in 2001.  During a Who concert in 1969 at New York’s Fillmore East, a man rushed the stage and tried to take the microphone. Roger Daltrey punched him in the face, and Pete Townshend kicked him in the crotch. The man was actually a plain-clothes policeman trying to warn them that the grocery store next door was in the midst of a five-alarm blaze. Townshend was later arrested.
