I like Can, though I can be picky about what I like from them and what I don't...

I don't really see how their music is bursting with melody or anything (even by prog standards), since their musical range falls somewhere between ambient and just plain noisy (even by prog standards), overall I see their music as being extremely inaccessible (even by prog standards).

At times I can find Can to be quite pretentious.... Umm, even by prog standards.
I've always found Can to be more about the hypnotic rhythms than the melodies. I love their chaotic improvisational style - completely eclectic and unorthodox. Tago Mago is one of my favourite prog albums.

With Can, my mind is free to travel anywhere.
