I Can See For Miles - The Who (1967)

[Return to INTRODUCTION] [Return to Table Of Contents]

[1960-1969 Best Songs]

Billboard Top 100, 1967, #98 The Who - The Kids Are Alright - I Can See for Miles

The Who, for many years, were known to be the loudest rock band in the world. I Can See For Miles is a song deserves all that volume.

As you listen, picture Pete Townshend windmilling his arm around to play that driving chord; Roger Daltrey's piercing eyes and menacing voice escalating from a low growl to full crescendo, and Keith Moon's unrelenting drumbeat.

As the guy from Spinal Tap would say, turn this one up to 11.
