    Is this like QI - if anyone says The Beatles it flashes on the background and Stephen Fry says "No!"?

    It has to be personal and subjective but for me it's The Who.

    Influenced by the great bands of the sixties, fused great melodies with fast paced guitars (after the prog rockers had slowed things down so boringly in the seventies) and spawned many really good copyists.

    Joey, Johnny, Dee Dee, Tommy - it has to be.

    Hey ho, let's go.
