August 31, 200619 yr The Who's most successful US single was "I Can See For Miles." Wouldn't have guessed that.
August 31, 200619 yr QUOTE(Flash Tizzle @ Aug 31, 2006 -> 08:34 AM) The Who's most successful US single was "I Can See For Miles." Wouldn't have guessed that. No way? Not Who Are You or Baba O'Reilly?? from wiki "I Can See For Miles" is a song written by Pete Townshend of The Who, which was recorded for the band's 1967 album, The Who Sell Out. It was the only song from the album to be released as a single, on October 14th, 1967. The recording of "I Can See For Miles" exemplified the ever-increasing use of studio techniques in the late 1960s. Not only was it recorded in separate sessions, it was recorded in a geographic range stretching thousands of kilometers. The backing tracks were recorded in London, the lyrics and overdubbing were performed in New York (probably at Talentmasters Studios), while the record was finished with mastering in Los Angeles, at the Gold Star Studios. It reached #10 in the U.K. and #9 in the U.S. 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. I spat on the British record buyer."

I have no independent confirmation, but listening to a local radio station last week (97.1, for those familar), it was mentioned as their most successful US single. Surprised me as well. Reminds me of VH1 mentioning how Jimi Hendrix and The Grateful Dead both could be considered "one hit wonders," as neither had two songs climb above 20 in the billboard charts.

August 31, 200619 yr Thinking about it, The Who were more an album band than a singles band. BTW, easily my favorite band.
