Roger Daltrey

Twirling his microphone by its cord, swinging it high into the air, and catching it effortlessly while performing onstage (the cord for his microphone is normally doubled-back and heavily taped to the handle of the mike, to prevent the cord from ripping out of the base during these maneuvers).
Frantic, emotional singing style
His unmistakeable wail, used most famously in "Won't Get Fooled Again"
Short Stature
Multi octave vocals

He plays the flute, harmonica, tambourine, and guitar. Although originally the lead-guitar player of the band, Daltrey did not play guitar with The Who in the seventies. He began playing again after the death of Keith Moon in 1978 changed The Who lineup. After this, he occasionally played electric guitar with The Who, but usually played an acoustic.
He was considered for a number of guest roles in Doctor Who (1963) in the 1980s, perhaps most notably Sharaz Jek in Peter Davison's final story The Caves of Androzani: Part One (1984). David Bowie was also considered for the same role. Daltrey later acted with Davison in The Last Detective (2003).
He has five children: Simon, Mathias (born 1967, with Swedish model Elisabeth Aronsson), Rosie Lea, Willow Amber and Jaimie.
Before becoming a member of The Who, he was a sheet-metal worker.
He was elected to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame (as a member of The Who) in 1990.

I don't have any illusions anymore. The illusion that rock 'n' roll could change anything - I don't believe that. I've changed. Who would have ever thought that I'd end up saying that I want to be an all-around entertainer? But that's what I want to be.
[on The Who's performance at Woodstock] It was the worst gig we ever played.
You know, I was a school rebel. Whatever they said do, I didn't do. I was totally anti-everything. I was a right bastard, a right hard nut. I just totally closed the doors to ever wanting to know what they had to teach me. Rock & roll was the only thing I wanted to get into.
Of course, chicks keep popping up. When you're in a hotel, a pretty young lady makes life bearable.
I don't want to stop and I don't think Pete (Pete Townshend) does. We're at the pinnacle of our decline.
