' I Can't Explain changed my life the first time I heard it, when I was fifteen, by giving me a sound whose power I've spent a whole lot of the rest of my lifesearching to renew. It was the first record I'd heard that revealed British rock with the same purifying intensity as soul anf fifties rock and roll. There's no way if it would mean the same thing today. But if some aspects of what makes I Can't Explain great have grown fuzzier with the passage of time, the central kernel of its greatness has become more obvious.Keith Moon plays lead drums the way other bands had people playing lead guitar. After two decades, the sheer audacity of that act remains amazing and inspiring.'
