Can I go my own way?

challop: future days is the best can album

noodle vague just ignore threads you don't like

heh that's actually one of my prized challops

recently i stepped it up and said flow motion was the best. that's bordering on disingenuous tho

you firestarter

Not so much of a challop from where I stand (re future days)

yeah i always thought best can album was widely believed to be future, tago, or ege.

i love flow motion

Future and Tago have outstanding songs in them. But Future has no fillers. So Future.

gonna have to think this one over for a bit

i never listen to fd because "bel air" bores me.

Why? Because it's a bit proggy? A little symphonic?
It's the fastest 20 minutes song ever imo

"bel air" is so good

OTM
Almost as good as the will smith show

well let's not go crazy

Future Days is the best and Soon Over Babaluma is the second best, but I haven't heard Flow Motion which sounds like it could well be the next-best.

xps i dunno, it's not terrible but it just doesn't do it for me. it starts nicely enough, gets into a groove and then doesn't do much that engages me. then it peters out and starts all over again, not doing much different the second time around.

Aumgn and peking o are the ones who make the biggest difference

yeah i always thought best can album was widely believed to be future, tago, or ege.

BEST CAN ALBUM!
CAN you pick only one?: The CAN albums poll

flow motion shutout twice

Interesting to see that a handful of Can cds have recently turned up in the local mainstream cd shop. NOt sure if any of them have sold or if they're just one off remainders or something. Could just tie in with the vinyl set being released meaning they're appearing in trade zines or something.
But would be good if they do sell.

Never know how obscure anything I'm into is since I don't really know that many people who I'd talk about music with who wouldn't be aware of quite a bit of stuff anyway. & I assume that by now the band has been talked about for years and most of their material has been available for the last couple of decades hasn't it? On cd in some form at least.

I'm with the Future is the best Can crowd.

Tago Mago. Future Days is too smooth, not weird enough, though it is of course great.

Tago is too improvised, not focused enough, though it is of course great.

basically it comes down to preferring "rock" Can over "electronic" Can or vice versa.

Future Days

Tago is too improvised

don't get this at all. how is it any more improvised than fd?

basically it comes down to preferring "rock" Can over "electronic" Can or vice versa.

which album is "rock" and which "electronic"?

"jazz" can

A side of fd and first lp of tm both utterly sterling.

I go with whichever has "Halleluwah," and if I need a tiebreaker, "Paperhouse" or "Mushroom."

Much as I love both, Tago was kind of a life-changer. It was my link from 70s prog to the avant-rock set.

I was listening to "Spray" when I opened this thread, so FD

the answer is ege

Guys, choose thoughtfully. For the sake of future days!

I'll rank them as:

Ege > future > tago > babaluma > soundtracks > monster movie > the rest

Actually no i like monster movie better than soundtracks.

I accidentally voted for Future Days.

Mother sky is the most indispensable Can recording for me so in some ways soundtracks is my favorite can.

Ege > future > tago > babaluma > soundtracks > monster movie > the rest

totally agree with this.

tago >
ege >
babaluma = landed = flow motion = saw delight (this era i listen to the most these days) >
future (first half is great but i rarely listen to this) >
monster movie = soundtracks (i know it's sacrilege but i don't care much for the malcolm-era) >
the rest

From the same type of people who taught us Bitches Brew is Miles Davies best work, here comes the Can order of merit ....[flummmp!].

lol

i never listen to fd because "bel air" bores me.

Don't listen to "Bel Air" then. I don't.

Bel Air is great imo

Never liked BB, sorry.

the bird noises in the middle of "Bel Air" = best Can moment.

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

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

A: TAGO

Wow, 73 votes!

I'm calm now

I imagine this place to be like Monty Python's Whicker Island, populated entirely by men who look like Holger Czukay ca. 1972.
