Love them all, except that I can't remember this track . In fact I can't remember a single thing from this album of theirs (but I've rated it three stars). I should go back to it, as every time I revisit their later 1970's albums I enjoy them a little more.

^ I'm used to having particular favourite tracks in albums (standouts), although choosing between those is not that easy commonly, and I would not consider my lists definitive. It's an enjoyable exercise for me to return to music often and to check out music sometimes from other people's lists or in researching my own.

One of the big pleasures for me in these topics is coming across track names that I am not that familiar with or at all and cheking those out (and I almost always keep a tab with youtube and/or bandcamp open) and returning to albums that I don't know well (or it could be ones I did not know at all). It's not an album I ever had listened to more than once through, and I returned to the album to consider choosing one. In this case I had listened to that album for the first time all the way through not too long ago. Sometimes I just play bits and pieces of the tracks to remind my myself or to find something that appeals and then listen all the way though. Most of my list were the names that automatically sprang to mind when looking through the album track listings and in various cases where I know them so well I don't need to look up the album. Even for bands I know very well, there is a research element commonly in looking through the album tracks and playing music on youtube (I have six of those albums I listed in my collection, but I usually stream music these days).

Anyway, Sodom hits the spot for me.

^ Oh Yeah, not all CAN be. This topic just leaves me wanting more.

I compiled the lists from Saperlipopette!, Mirakaze, Lewian and myself and then made a youtube playlist out of it (really for myself, because there are a number of choices that I don't know that well or have not heard in a long time. Sorry if I made any mistakes.

It reminded me of how much I love Ege Bamyasi (my favourite album by Can right now), and I really loved hearing "Dead Pigeon Suite" again (a better choice than mine off that album).
