Monster Movie is teh bestest :D

(but I like all Can)

Tago Mago will never get old. EB:
I’m so green, I’m so green,
“Yes, I feel everything” you say,
Yes, I feel as you say.

It's not strictly later stuff at all but i think Delay 1968 is massively underrated, it may be my favourite behind Ege Bamyasi. Soundtracks gets better and better with every listen too.

Yea I decided to give a go of Delay after I heard it was Bradford Cox' favorite Can album. It's pretty good but not my favorite.

Tago Mago > Ege Bamyasi > Future Days > Monster Movie > Soundtracks > Delay 1968

I enjoy them all tho.

I haven't made a post in a hell of a long time, but I thought that here would be a great place to stick my foot back into the forum's door, so to speak.

I have been a Can fan for a while now, but just recently (about 3 or so weeks ago), I became utterly and completely enamored with their sound. At this point, I think it's safe to say that these guys have become my all-time favorite band (Until now, The Beatles have consistently been my favorite band for about 5 or so years now). As much as I love the Beatles, I just can't believe the tremendously creative and innovative output Can has. Their music hits me in a way that few other bands can. At this point, I have a total of 8 Can albums, which are:

Monster Movie
Soundtracks
Tago Mago
Ege Bamyasi
Future Days
Soon Over Babaluma
Landed
Delay 1968

My current favorite is Monster Movie. I really dig the raw sound the album consistently carries. The most standout track is obviously "Yoo Doo Right." It's absolutely stellar. The song flows so incredibly well. The tribal drumming, Malcom Mooney's love-letter chanting, the kickass guitar riffs, I could go on... After MM, I'd say that my favorite album would either be Ege Bamyasi or Tago Mago (really tough call). All 8 of the albums that I have are eithier very good or fantastic. I can't believe how consistently great these guys are with their sound.

All hail Krautrock! :bowdown:

I've been listening to "Ogam Ogat" lately. It's 2 tracks from the Tago Mago recording sessions, not on the album.

Mary, Mary So Contrary is a favourite of mine and so sublime. It's not as crazy as their later stuff but I love its raw primordial feel.

So am I the only one who listens to their post 75 stuff then?

I really can't imagine Can without Damo. Was their new vocalist on the same level as him?

They didn't replace him.
Michael Karoli & Irmin Schmidt handled the vocals after he left.
