"an obscure sixties band known only as "'The Who'" 

Oh shame - The Who was one of the greatest bands to ever play. Perhaps obscure to some, but not to most of us who came of age in the 60s. The folks who do the TV show CSI seem to agree - their theme song "Who Are You" was/is a hit by The Who. Then there's their opera Tommy. Anyway, so much for my OT contribution.
