Yeti vs. Tago Mago

yeti

tago mago is great but not can's consensus album winner like yeti is to AD2

Tago Mago. Consensus consmensus it's just a better record.

i think the people on ILX across the board prefer can to ADII, so i'm gonna bet on tago mago taking this one. it might be close, but then again maybe not.

is this like a mods -vs- rockers kinda poll?

YETIIIIIIIIIIII!!!!!!!!!!

Yeah watch me push over your scooter.

Um, we beg to differ. Can are the jam.

I don't understand these pictures at all. Or what they have to do with Mods vs. Rockers.

maybe you are slow. it couldn't be more obvious. the nerds represent the mods and fred "the ogre" palowakski - as well as booger, though ostensibly booger is a nerd - represents the rockers. the nerds were devo fans. booger was a prototype for all future crusty indie record store yeti fans. and he was a nerd too. but the ogre wasn't a nerd. he was an alpha beta.

eat a pi for tago mago.

Tago Mago.

Guess I should hear Yeti before I decide. Where might this be done?

tago mago. ridiculous it's almost 40 years old. and still not on starbucks playlist!!

Yeti is better than the band could have hoped it would be. Tago Mago is disappointing every time I listen to it. Just not their best work IMO.

Yeti, always.

Tago Mago, by a country mile

i keep reading this as 'yeti vs. yo la tengo'

There's not much to argue in this thread. You're either a Yeti person or a Tago Mago person. I don't think there are too many people struggling with this choice.

However, if this thread encourages Can fans to check out early Amon Duul II if they already haven't so, that's awesome.

If Can fans haven't checked out other krautrockers then I am disappointed in those Can fans.

I like Tago Mago and Yeti, I just happen to like Tago Mago a lot more

Yeah, I've warmed to Yeti after having played it twice.

Still, TagMag,.

No Geir on this thread?

Actually I can listen to all of Yeti but I can't be arsed listening to all of Tago Mago, but I still prefer Tago Mago

Actually, TM is one of those albums that define wether or not you are a 'track skipper'..

.. Do you skip "Augm" onece in a while, or never do?

(I never have, although I have sometimes "run out of time" for the last couple tracks)

More likely to skip Peking O, tbh

I don't think there are any Can albums where I don't skip at least one track - which is odd, given that they're one of my favourite bands - Monster Movie excepted.

Second half of Yeti vs. Second Half of Tago Mago?

(Tago Mago wins it, imo)

Yeti wins that one

It's the first half of Yeti I don't like so much!

What?! Archangel's Thunderbird? Eye Shaking King? Soap Shop Rock?
Those are the songs that make the album. The meandering jamming of the second lp bores me.

Each to his own!

Of course! I'm just providing some context to my vote. I thought this was a battle thread.

There's only one track in the second half of Yeti that relatively meanders. The other improvs are great. They are essentially two different albums concatenated into one, admittedly.

i really really wish Amon Duul II had a song called "Gimme Head 'Til I'm Dead"...

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

1) I prefer Phallus Dei to Yeti

2) TM has Hallelwah on it, which pwns just about anything.

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

YES.
