=== Tropes used or exemplified by this band include: ===
* [[All Drummers Are Animals]]: Keith Moon was the [[Trope Codifier]], legendary for wrecking hotel rooms - including part of a Holiday Inn in Michigan on his 21st birthday while The Who was touring the US. Popular legend claims that the chain banned the Who from all its hotels afterward, though Moon's biographer claims this was an exaggeration.
** Moon's trademark room-wrecking gambit involved dropping a lit cherry bomb into the toilet; he bought ''five hundred'' cherry bombs on his first trip to the U.S. and spent the next few years working through them. In later years, John Entwistle confessed that he occasionally joined in the fun, handing Keith the matches.
