It's so hard to choose a "favorite" King Crimson album, they're all so good. Long ago I decided that my favorite Crimson album is the one I'm...
Monster Movie is very good, but I've never particularly liked Malcolm Moony's singing. Can's best albums were all made when Damo Suzuki was the...
The album with songs closest to Cat Food would be Lizard. In part, because the same pianist performs in both albums (Keith Tippet), and the lineup...
I agree that Flow Motion is not one of Can's greatest albums, but I have used it succesfully several times to introduce Can to the uninitiated. It...
Now that you mention John McLaughlin, Paco de Lucia and Al Di Meola, there's this gem of an album called "Friday Night in San Francisco", where...
If you want to listen to a really heavy lady rocker, try Nina Hagen. She's great. Joan Jett and Suzy Quatro also. Supreme Beings of Leisure is a...
The thing with Can is their music is so rich and multi-layered, it takes a serious effort to appreciate it and understand it. But if you really...

Gong has been one of my favorite bands for a long time. Their "Radio Gnome Invisible" trilogy (Flying Teapot, Angel's Egg and You) is IMO one of...
That 67 demos album (is it Jet Propelled Photographs?) is great, and it is the only Soft Machine album that features Daevid Allen (the founder and...
Daevid Allen Blind Faith Canned Heat Miles Davis Bill Evans
"Changes" by Black Sabbath. One of the very rare Sabbath's soft love songs.
I didn't know they're still touring. Do you know who replaced Michael Karoli? Pretty hard to replace, I think, if not totally irreplaceable.
I discovered Seattle, by the Damo Suzuki Network, several weeks ago. It was never listed in any of Can's discographies, so I had never heard of it...
Sorry. Posted the thread twice by mistake.
It's like asking if Chrsitina Aguilera is a Janis Joplin wannabe. Even if he wanted to be like Hendrix, he completely lacks the talent. Totally...
There's this obscure early 70's record "UFO 2 Flying, 1 Hour Space Rock". It's a very simple combination of wailing guitar with bass and drums,...
Can is my favorite band, and I consider it a genre all of its own. So , here are my selections for CAN's TOP FIFTEEN (it would have to be more...
Pressed Rat's list is very complete, and somebody else mentioned "In the Court of the Crimson King". The only one missing IMO would be Soft...
