Biographie
Peter Dennis Blandford Townshend, né le 19 mai 1945 à Chiswick (Londres), est un guitariste, chanteur et auteur-compositeur rock britannique, membre fondateur, leader et principal compositeur du groupe Who. Il fut dans les années 1960, avec Jeff Beck, Jimmy Page, Eric Clapton et Jimi Hendrix, par son style et son jeu de scène, l'un des guitaristes les plus novateurs du rock. Compositeur de la plupart des chansons des Who, il fut l'un des premiers guitaristes à utiliser des effets comme le larsen et la technique des accords dite en power chords dans un style qui préfigurera le hard rock et le punk. Pete Townshend a été aussi le premier à placer des boucles sonores de synthétiseurs sur des chansons rock (album Who's Next en 1971, Won't Get Fooled Again et Baba O'Riley) et à écrire des opéras rock (la chanson A Quick One, While He's Away en 1966, préfigurant Tommy en 1969). Il s'est aussi rendu célèbre en exécutant des "moulinets" (rotation de son bras droit pour frapper ses accords) et en brisant ses guitares sur scène. Musicien accompli, Peter Townshend joue aussi du piano, du synthétiseur (ARP 2500 et 2600), du banjo, de la basse, de la batterie et même de l'accordéon, et a parfois enregistré ces instruments sur certains titres de ses albums solo ou avec The Who. En 2003, le magazine Rolling Stone l'a classé 50e meilleur guitariste de tous les temps1. En 2011, il passe à la 10e place de ce même classement. Les décès du batteur Keith Moon en 1978 puis du bassiste John Entwistle en 2002 n'ont pas mis fin aux activités des Who, Townshend et le chanteur Roger Daltrey ont continué dans les décennies suivantes à se produire dans le monde entier avec de nouveaux musiciens comme le batteur Zak Starkey (le fils de Ringo Starr des Beatles) et le bassiste Pino Palladino et sortent notamment un douzième album studio des Who en 2019 qui rencontre un beau succès commercial
