Can is my favorite band ever! Any other Can fanboys here who are disgusted with the low ratings on this site?

I love Can as well. Tago Mago and Ege Bamyasi are masterpieces of krautrock. Monster Movie and Future Days are pretty good too. I can't say I'm a fanboy though.

Big fan of CAN, Future Days is probably my favorite followed by Tago Mago and Ege Bamyasi. I don't think their ratings are that low considering they are a 'difficult' band. Their top ratings are in the 3.8 to 4.0 range. That's pretty good, I'm not seeing many haters.

no disrespect at all, I acknowledge their importance and influence across many types of artists who namecheck them, but for some reason I cannot actually listen to Can's music. something about their sound just doesn't click with me.

i'll tell ya, they are a 'difficult' band for many folks - though i find their work soothing and groovy
tago mago gets at least a weekly listen, future days my next fav, then ege bamyasi but, i get worse reactions from non-adventurous listeners with can than with almost any other act, save perhaps magma i've turned on folks to lots of odd stuff, but i've never been able to make a convert with can

Yup, they are certainly a difficult band to get into. However, they do have some songs that are pretty catchy and probably easier to get hooked on. I know I loved 'Vitamin C' the first time I heard it.

Its low compared to artists like King Crimson, Genesis, Yes, and Pink Floyd. I just figure a prog site would be more open minded or even praising of unconventional ideas. Really their seems to be a bias towards Krautrock in general. |

The problem with that is even prog has a "mainstream" and off-beat music.
There are prog listeners who mainly listen to symphonic/neo stylized music. Or those who mainly listen to extreme metal. Regardless of where their comfort zone is in prog listening there is going to be music that is difficult. I do agree that as progressive music listeners you'd think that the audience would be interested in unconventionality, but its all perspective. I adapt a similar concept to mainly listening to modern music/prog.

Only if you expect CAN to be the highest rated band on a site devoted to the broad church of prog. 4 stars is an excellent ranking for any offbeat band & I think you're giving prog rock fans to much credit for being broad minded and appreciative of the edges of the genres. Look at the top rated albums:- Close To The Edge - only 6% of fans rate it less than 4 stars Thick As A Brick - 9% Selling England - 7% Wish You Were Here - 7% In The Court Of The Crimson King - 6% Those number are really kind of ridiculous in any statistical sense. CAN's best rated album only has 20% of people rating it less than 4 stars & that on a site where lots of fans like their prog more mainstream. I think their rankings hold up very well. |

WTF with that Streetcar post ?? I know Mooney is repetitive, but that post was a bit much.
I love all their albums for one reason or another, even Out Of Reach !! Very difficult to pick a favourite - usually one of the Damo albums, but sometimes Babaluma or even Landed. |

I was fortunate enough to have come across a 2 LP set called Can - Rohstoff, Essential Lost Tapes '68-'76. Over 100 minutes of bliss.
Also the 'Can Box' has amazing things. |

If this is just a Thread about how underated CAN is, can we turn it into a appreciation thread. I love Can and I would really like to see this thread continue.

Sunday Jam is a breath of fresh air (Can S/T 1979). I have much love for the Rosko Gee period, regardless of what the masses say.

I am a huge fan - I picked up Cannibalism I when I was in college (around 1991?) and dug it - then around 2000 I dove in the deep end - living near Amoeba Music in Berkeley CA helped - I ended up with all the albums, the recent "The Lost Tapes" set, the Can Box (which included Book & Video), Bussy's book on Can - looks like there may be an official biography soon too! (http://www.theguardian.com/music/2014/mar/28/krautrock-pioneers-can-to-release-official-biography)
I've also been fortunate to see both Malcolm Mooney and the Tenth Planet and Damo Suzuki live, twice each. Damo was very approachable, I corresponded with him a bit via email - unfortunately, he is recovering from cancer right now so hasn't been performing. Got to meet Malcolm Mooney through an Amoeba connection, I had picked up his solo albums while I lived in Japan which I asked him to sign:  And now that I think about it, I had a couple of Can ringtones in Japan too! They were amazing, really cool 8-bit stuff - I played it for one of the Tenth Planet members at Amoeba and he immediately called up Malcolm Mooney on the phone and played it for him! I would expect Can to be challenging - they came out of the German avant-garde and didn't set out to be a commonplace "rock band." Their "spontaneous composition" style influenced my own music a lot. I think I can safely say they are in my all-time Top Ten of any music.
