Just listened to the Can track Future Days and loved it. Streaming the whole album now.

Tago Mago and Ege Bamyasi are their best and most accessible imo.

Dunno about Tago Mago being accessible...
Aumgn and Peking O are pretty out there.

I thought about actually taking Tago Mago out of my post because I agree with you. I left it because if I can like that record at 15 years old in the midst of my emo/screamo phase then Chules should be able to enjoy it as well.

I'm not too surprised that you're only now starting to explore krautrock but I'm actually quite surprised by this.

Tago Mago is one of the very best albums in the history of music and is definitely mandatory listening.

Somebody once told me that In the Court of the Crimson King was a better record than Tago Mago and I almost nut sacked him.

Tago Mago is on a different level than pretty much everything else.
Sometimes it genuinely scares me.

Coming from a starting point of Zeppelin, Sabbath, Deep Purple, Uriah Heep, Mountain, Free, Prog & Fusion, etc., both the Beatles and Stones didn't interest me one bit at that time.

It was so awesome coming around to both bands later on.
