I think within the krautock spectrum Can are slightly overrated, in the sense that they're far more well known than bands like Faust and Neu who are just as good as Can at times. But I don't think they're that overrated compared to bands like the Sex Pistols, Oasis and the Smashing Pumpkins (I don't mind the Smashing Pumpkins, but I think they're awfully overrated). It's all just down to personal taste in the end, of course.
For the record, I love the s'hit out of Can regardless!
Cluster are brilliant, although I have to confess I've never heard The KLM so maybe I should check that out!
