With hit singles, the band kept on recording new albums such as A Quick One (1966), My Generation (1965) and The Who Sell Out (1967). The albums that they released in 1965 and 1966 effectively reached the UK top 5 charts. In 1967, the band first struck the US Top forty charts with their song “Happy Jack”. The same year they were charted in the US Top ten with their song “I Can See for Miles”. They gave some truly rocking and unforgettable live performances at the Woodstock, Monterey Pop and Isle of Wight music festivals which ultimately gave them more fame.

The following year in 1982, they released their album It’s Hard which successfully went on to the top ten charts in the US. They created these albums with their new drummer, Kenney Jones. In 1983, the band went on a hiatus.
