New York City, NY, United States (CNS) -- Through the utilization of modern musical technology one of the greatest bands of rock history will get the chance to detail how they've made such an impact on their "Generation," and why, for reasons even they "Can't Explain," there is no "Substitute."

Starting at 3 p.m. ET on February 4, Sirius XM Radio will offer a limited time, five-day programming block dedicated to rock legends The Who.
