Can is one of the few krautrock bands I listen to. I don't like the subgenre that much, and I don't play their records that often. Yes is quite possibly my favorite band, so there's that.
Two random guys agreed to shake hands. Just Because. They felt like it, you know. It was an agreement of sorts...a random agreement.

I love both, but as much as I love Can, Yes is still way out front.

too damn tunny as Tago Mago blast forward from thy speakers here...

do listen more to Can 

but then again as much as for the brilliance of Can there is the fact that I can mentally listen to each and every 70's Yes album and every note from them in my head without ever putting on an album of theirs.   They are sort of ingrained in one's musical DNA...

For me it has to be Yes, they are one of my favorite bands and I've never actually listened to this 'Can.'

But once again it looks like Logan recommends it, so it's probably good. Man that was a fun album that he recommended on the other thread! Not sure about better than Gentle Giant at their best but boy.. that was from back when albums were a real adventure and I sure enjoyed that one!

I envy you brother.. for some day you will.. and will be like having 4 men achieve simultanious orgasms in your ears...

those kinds of discoveries are what makes this music so great. You are in for a treat when you get around to cleaning up that black mark on your prog fan resume...

Yeah them and 'Gong' I keep seeing mentioned on here but never got around to listening to either. And as far as that black mark on the resume, it's probably too late at this point since there's so many popular artists on here(particularly all those ones from Italy) that I haven't heard yet that.. there's just too many man. Anyway can  you recommend an album from Can for me to start with? I would appreciate it friend.

Depends on what you're looking for. Ege Bamyasi tends to be the go-to starting album for Can as it exhibits both their propensity for insane improvisations and more self-contained numbers. Future Days is still open and improvisatory, but a lot more pleasant sounding, and it may give you a more favorable impression of the band. You could go chronologically too.

I do love Yes and listen to them often enough. I don't yet know Can, so I guess it's perfectly safe to say that I listen to Yes more. However, I'm not sure it's fair to vote on this poll.

I believe you will like also Soundtracks, Tago-Mago (my favourite) & Ege Bamyasi. After Suzuaki albums are also really good, but those four are the greatest.

Itīs always possible you donīt like Can, but I think you should really get into Gong! Itīs full of positive energy, "You" could be your starting album. Just forget those Italians, my opinion is they just waste of time.

I'd think of the first album of Tago Mago as the best introduction to the band. Rougher and more powerful than Future Days, Ege Bamyasi and Soon Over Babaluma but more varied and subtle than Monster Movie. Ultimately I love them all and they're more or less on a par but Tago Mago album one should be the best for recognizing at first listen what a force they were. (There's just the danger that the faint-hearted of the just converted get out of them again when listening to Tago Mago's second album. Cool)

Frankly, when it comes to the classic period, I listen to YES a little more than CAN. After that, I'm not so much into YES, specially their last few albums, so I would go with CAN in that context.

Can are among my 10 favourite bands. Yes are not (actually neither of the so-called "Big Six" is).

I totally get what you’re saying about being able to hear some music note for note in your head. I'm suffering/enjoying it almost all the time these days.

I don't know why most seem to skip Soundtracks - nothing but fantastic songs, pure listening joy from start to finish + its got Mother Sky! Anyway I started with Ege Bamyasi and that worked like a charm.
