 In a career spanning more than 50 years, Daltrey came to prominence in the mid-1960s as the founder and lead singer of the rock band The Who.  The group released 14 singles that entered the Top 10 charts in the UK during the 1960s, 70s and 80s, including "I Can't Explain", "My Generation", "Substitute", "I'm a Boy", "Happy Jack", "Pictures of Lily", "Pinball Wizard", "Won't Get Fooled Again", and "You Better You Bet".  Daltrey began his solo career in 1973, while still a member of the Who.  Since then, he has released eight studio albums, five compilation albums, and one live album.  His solo hits include "Giving It All Away", "Walking the Dog", "Written on the Wind", "Free Me", "Without Your Love", "Walking in My Sleep", "After the Fire", and "Under a Raging Moon".  In 2010, he was ranked as number 61 on Rolling Stone's list of the 100 greatest singers of all time.

He made his first guitar from a block of wood, a cherry red Stratocaster replica, and joined a skiffle band called The Detours who were in need of a lead singer.  They told him that he had to bring a guitar, and within a few weeks he showed up with it, and he could play it too. When his father bought him an Epiphone guitar in 1959, he became the lead guitarist for the band.  Soon afterwards he was expelled from school for tobacco smoking.  Townshend wrote in his autobiography, "until he was expelled Roger had been a good pupil”.

Daltrey became a sheet metal worker during the day, while practising, and performing nights with the band at weddings, pubs, and working men's clubs.  He invited schoolmate Entwistle to play bass guitar in the band, and on the advice of Entwistle, invited Townshend to play guitar.  At that time, the band also had Doug Sandom on drums and Colin Dawson on lead vocals.  After Dawson left the band, Daltrey switched to lead vocals, and played harmonica as well, while Townshend became the lead guitarist.  In 1964, drummer Sandom left the band, eventually being replaced by Keith Moon.

In 1964, the band discovered another band performing as The Detours and discussed changing their name.  Townshend suggested "The Hair" and Townshend's roommate Richard Barnes suggested "The Who”.  

As a member of the Who, Daltrey received a Lifetime Achievement Award from the British Phonographic Industry in 1988 and from the Grammy Foundation in 2001.  He was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1990 and the UK Music Hall of Fame in 2005.  The Who are considered one of the most influential rock bands of the 20th century, selling over 100 million records worldwide.  He and Pete Townshend received Kennedy Centre Honours in 2008 and The George and Ira Gershwin Award for Lifetime Musical Achievement at UCLA on 21st May 2016.

In June 2025 Daltrey was appointed a Knight Bachelor in the Birthday Honours for services to charity and music.
