Your all-time favourie CAN album?!

daydream · 12.19.2007, 03:24 PM

I'll skip the introductory bullshit and cut to the chase:

Which "classic" CAN album reigns supreme? As a sub-question of sorts, have you a favourite track?!

I'm allowing Delay 1968 and Sountracks in the poll too - kinda sorta albums.

Anyway, I think their best was Monster Movie and I'm in love with 'Thief' right now...

P.S. Hey everyone.

EDIT: Poll upped.

Savage Clone · 12.19.2007, 03:27 PM

Tago Mago or Soundtracks for me.
My favorite Can tune is probably Mother Sky, but you're a jerk for forcing me to choose.
And welcome.

Glice · 12.19.2007, 03:36 PM

Aye, hello.

I concur with Drone, except my favourite tune is Halleluwah.

the ikara cult · 12.19.2007, 03:43 PM

alright
I'll go Ege Bamyasi, but Future Days is my favourite Can song

_slavo_ · 12.19.2007, 04:37 PM

This has been here a couple of times already.

To answer the question, Ege Bamyasi

Everyneurotic · 12.19.2007, 07:14 PM

has it been three months already?

the ikara cult · 12.19.2007, 07:18 PM

yeah I remember this coming up before, but he/she clearly doesnt post here much so how are they supposed to know? Far as im concerned its good to have someone with good taste posting topics.

Everyneurotic · 12.19.2007, 07:34 PM

i really wanted to know if 3 months had already passed, i can set my watch to these kinds of threads.

the ikara cult · 12.19.2007, 07:45 PM

I dunno if three months have passed, im afraid my conception of time is broken down into slightly more significant events than how many times a poll about the best Can album is started.

Everyneurotic · 12.19.2007, 07:47 PM

jokekiller.

the ikara cult · 12.19.2007, 07:50 PM

I think my responses indicate how sophisticated your jokes are.

Everyneurotic · 12.19.2007, 07:55 PM

no, it's like someone pointing out the stupidity of a stupid joke that's funny, it nullifies the funny part.

by the way, i wasn't trying to be mean to anybody, just made an observation, this daydream guy or girl seems alright. and cult is awesome, love you honey.

the ikara cult · 12.19.2007, 08:01 PM

Your jokes are so clever i mistook them for an opinion
anyway, Can bring me joy

batreleaser · 12.19.2007, 11:01 PM

Torn Curtain · 12.20.2007, 05:49 PM

Yeah, yeah, yeah... Sorry I am. I've just registered though and I honestly wanted to gauge opinion - I'm going through a hardcore phase at the moment. Anyway, guess I should have figured the official SY board would feature these sort of things on an annoyingly regular basis.

Dead-Air · 12.21.2007, 02:23 AM

I voted Tago Mago. Not sure why it's a "predictable classic" as the music and album are not predictable at all. Certainly because of it's innovativeness it has become their most critically acclaimed record, but a double album with that level of experimentation wasn't exactly a sly commercial strategy in it's day.
