The Who. Putting out hits since 1965. Amazing.

The Who only had one top 10 song during their lifework, "I Can See for Miles," way back in 1967. For decades, Pete Townsend was unhappy his songs could never crack the charts.

He should be grateful that they were not a top 10 pop band. As it were, The Who sold over 100 million songs. I think I would be happy with that.

“The Who only had one top 10 song during their lifework, “I Can See for Miles,””

IIRC, “Squeeze Box”, arguably their worst single, hit #1 and was the only song of theirs to do that. But so many others deserved it.
