Can
 

well, as you can tell from my avatar, i dig can.

hard to describe them, they were WAY ahead of their time. i only know 1 album but it would probably be their most famous, and finest, Tago Mago.

those who are into earlier works of pink floyd, the mars volta, experimental wackiness or prog rock in general will love this. Tago Mago is quite amazing for it's time (1971), can't believe people had the creativity like this back then.

check out the songs "Paperhouse" and "Mushroom".

Yay for the Kraut Rockers.

Trying to get a friend to like Can She can Handle Fujiya and Miyagi but just can't do CAN any suggestions

I love Can. Their records are totally uncompromising artistic statements.

Try Monster Movie.

Tried Monster Movie with no luck, Gonna try ege bamyasi. I'm so green should do the trick. What do you make of Fujiya and Miyagi?

I'd go with some of the later stuff like Saw Delight or Flow Motion. I find that stuff less challenging & more funky.

Flow motion is worth a try haven't heard it for a while. Thanks

Has anybody seen the DVD yet. I rented it off Amazon this week.

Very disappointing for this Can head.

Practically everyone here is familiar with Krautrock's favorite band: the immeasurably talented Can. I can't believe it, but I checked over and over and somehow we don't have a Can thread.

If you're unfamiliar with the avant-garde band, they are an amalgamation of many different styles of music. Years ahead of their time (and certainly much of ours), Can's ethereal throbbing beat has been at the forefront of some of the most perfectly scripted albums. They represent an enormous contribution to music - not just Krautrock - and their influence is enormous and far-reaching at that. I suggest you listen to these three unilaterally praised albums:

Tago Mago
Ege Bamyasi
Future Days
