I Can See For Miles- The Greatest Hit Single Of The Who

Well, this song has been one of the most appreciating one in The Who's entire career. It was released on 14th october 1967. It was written by guitarist Pete Townshend. The song sounds very simple and relaxing but the efforts made in it are exemplary. This was the first song of the 60's where sophisticated studio techniques were used during recording. The song was recorded in several studio sessions across two continents. During that era, a critic claimed in a review of this song to be the most heaviest rock song ever heard. This song was rarely performed by The Who in their live acts as it was very difficult for Daltrey to sing exactly the complex vocal harmonies of this song and also the percussion style by the instrumentalists. The song reached no. 10 in U.K. and 9 in U.S. but still Townshend was disappointed as for him it was the best work done by The Who.
