Well you did concede that tyour Future Days ranking was controversial. It ranks highly in all-time Prog rock album lists (as does Tago Mago). It is my personal favourite with Monster Movie ranking 2nd. Tago Mago would be 3rd, but I only put it there because it is such a challenging listen. Agree that Landed doesn't get the credit it deserves - it almost pre-empts the New Wave, particularly with the more radio friendly early tracks. The live version of Vernal Equinox on BBC's Old Grey Whistle Test is a terrific performance.

@@eddybamyasi I put it above Tago Mago mainly because Ege Bamyasi presents a sound-world that only Can ever inhabited, while Tago Mago sounds more similar to what other psychedelic bands were doing at the time. Ege Bamyasi manages to be even more avant-Garde and eerie than Tago Mago yet has incredible pop songs-I’m So Green, Vitamin C, Sing Swan Song, Spoon-a rare feat in the world of experimental rock. The perfect balance of weirdness and seductiveness.
@eddybamyasi9 ай бұрын

Hmm, I guess no Can fan is ever likely to agree on a top 20.... other than Future Days so far down is pretty weird.... Personally, I love both Flow Motion (especially the superb title track) and Landed, but despise Saw Delight and the other awful album that followed it. I also think Rite Time is a lot better than it's given credit for and it was great to have Malcolm back. I've done an order of 12 (I think) but the order could just as easily change tomorrow.... 1. Future Days 2. Monster Movie (why does your track run slow?) 3. Landed 4. Soundtracks (it has to be up there for the greatest track of all, Mother Sky) 5. Flow Motion 6. Ege Bamyasi 7. Tago Mago 8. Soon Over Babaluma 9. Delay 68 10. Rite Time 11. The Lost Tapes 12. Limited Edition (which deserves higher just for Mother Upduff and the sublime Gomorrha)

Thanks for your interesting list Andrew. Intriguing to see Flow Motion above Ege and Tago. With further listening my ranking could change as I'm a lot more familiar with the early period than the later. I get quite a bit of grief for Future Days so I do conclude I'm mistaken and I should probably revisit and hear what I missed. When I posted I had to rejig a few sample tracks which were continuously taken down for Copyright reasons - I don't recall but I must have slowed that one down deliberately to avoid the bots.

@@eddybamyasi It's all a matter of personal taste. Flow Motion is just one of those albums I've always loved. Personally, I think that half of Tago Mago is brilliant but the other half takes a lot more getting into. It really doesn't matter as long as we enjoy what we want to. It's a bit like The Faust Tapes. Personally I think it's probably the greatest album I've ever heard and few weeks pass without it getting an airing here. But others find the more accessible So Far and lV more to their taste....

Thanks Aidan, I must be wrong as everyone agrees with you. It just has never struck me as so memorable as the other Damo albums - I don't find the drums so crisp nor the songs so focussed or powerful as on Ege or Tago. But maybe I should reassess in comparison with some of the other similarly ranked albums like Soon Over Babaluma. Granted having Landed above it is very controversial. I've also squeezed in a Holger solo and the Delay album above it which some wouldn't count.
