"I Can See For Miles" was written by Pete Townshend and recorded for The Who's 1967 album, "The Who Sell Out"
The single peaked at No.10 in the UK and at No.9 in America. Though these figures would seem successful to most bands, Townshend was disappointed. He is quoted as saying, "To me it was the ultimate Who record, yet it didn't sell"
The song comes in at No.258 on Rolling Stone Magazine's 500 greatest songs of all time.
