1965. I've been given money to buy a record. A single of course. I am thinking about on the one hand Herman's Hermits, and on the other hand the new group, The Who. I have a feeling my Mum would prefer I opted for Herman's Hermits. So naturally I choose "Can't Explain", the first hit by a band which will remain forever one of my favourites.
Up until then, like all my classmates I've been mesmerised by the Beatles as they revolutionise pop music with every new release. Like kids up and down the country in the Swinging Sixties, we are debating the rival merits of The Beatles and the Stones, but once I had that Who record, I would start to nominate different groups as my favourites.
