10 Best Songs By The Who

9. I Can See For Miles - The Who Sell Out

The only single from the band's third album, The Who Sell Out, I Can See For Miles represents a turning point in the group's career, with their music becoming more complex and layered, and would continue to do so for the next decade.

The song was so complex that it was seldom performed live with the original lineup, as the various vocal harmonies and overdubs would have been difficult to replicate in a live setting. However, this just goes to show the development the band had begun to experience, generating this classic song alongside many others.

Allegedly, this was the song that inspired Paul McCartney to write Helter Skelter for The Beatles. Great minds think alike, I guess.
