I Know What It Means But...
I don't know if this cover of The Who's timeless powerpop classic "I Can't Explain" completely works. But I do know that I've been taken with it since I first stumbled across it on an otherwise crappy and ballad-laden album in the mid-70s, and that it features sensational guitar work by its composer, the redoubtable Pete Townshend.

Helen Reddy?
I know the answer but don't want to blow it for others. I would never have guessed if I didn't know this version of one of my favorite Who songs.
I've been listening more to the Who lately and have to admit I have such a strong preference for their early stuff. I'll take the early singles and the first two albums over Tommy or Quadrophenia any day.
I think I know. Initials Y.E.
I totally agree about the earlier Who. It's about economy of scale. That said, I like almost everything they did up to the 1st breakup.
Helen Reddy - LOL.
I haven't a clue, but adding my two cents worth about The Who. Agree wholeheartedly - Tommy was the just about the last of the band that I loved, give or take a few singles in the early 70s. Sell Out was the peak along with those incomparable 60s singles.
Dean's correct.
ROTP(lumber)
Dean's correct about the initials, obviously.
Your Coveted No-Prize is heading your way by worm caravan as we speak (Rocky and Bullwinkle reference, admittedly obscure).
Wow, that's really a nice cover.
And I was a Who fan starting with "I Can See For Miles" and lasting all the way 'til Who Are You.
I discovered the early stuff later, and was properly blown away.
I've been revisiting Sell Out lately. Hooks on top of hooks.
yoko eno?
Yvonne Elliman.
I've always liked her voice; shame she came around in the mid-70s where they only knew how to schlock it up.
WOW. Great cover.
