What institution inducted The Who in 1990?

The Who were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1990.

The honor came during the band's 25th anniversary period, recognizing a group whose influence stretched from 1960s mod culture to hard rock, proto-punk, large-scale live sound, and the development of the rock opera. The classic lineup was Roger Daltrey, Pete Townshend, John Entwistle, and Keith Moon, although Moon had died in 1978.

This induction is often confused with the band's later honors. The Who entered the UK Music Hall of Fame in 2005, while several Who recordings—not the band itself—were later inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame. The group also received lifetime-achievement recognition from the British Phonographic Industry in 1988 and the Grammy Foundation in 2001.

The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame display has included artifacts associated with the band, such as one of Moon's stage suits, an Entwistle bass, and a 1968 drumhead.
