Same here, really - I don't hate the albums I listed, but they don't have near the same impact on me as Magma, National Health, Henry Cow, etc.

The only thing I like from Can is "Monster Movie". Then, I own all Dream Theater studio albums + A Change of Seasons. "Awake" and "Images and Words" qualify to be all-time classics for me, and at least three other are a great listen. So, guess my vote ;)

Edit: and by the way... LOL at this poll!

Mmm.... Dream Theater vs some crazy germans high on grass that play incoherent tunes.....
 
I'll go with DT here... But caution: I've only heard Tago Mago. Maybe I'm ill-advised...
 
But anyway, I'd go with DT. They're my favorite after all...

Let's see... Can hasn't really made any songs I like, but they haven't made any songs I hate. Dream Theater has tons of songs that I hate so I'll go with Can.

Despite the amount of hate mail Dream Theater seem to inspire round here at times they've released some great albums and I'm a big fan where as with Can I'm a more selective listener though they do have some great moments like Mother Sky. I haven't heard enough tracks like this from them to compete with DT though.

HOLY SH**! DT'S STILL WINNING AND HASN'T GOTTEN SERIOUSLY FLAMED YET?!?!ShockedLOL I think this just made my day.Big%20smile DT for me of course. As much as I like Tago Mago, it just doesn't compete with any of DT's album for me, except maybe Octavarium.

Never been a fan of Can, even today i listened to Tago Mago and it bored me, while i once enjoyed DT music, something that Can never did with me.

So despite i don't listen to DT anymore, if i voted, it would be for them, but i won't vote anyways

Can - it's a total no-brainer for me, although I'd be intrigued to hear DT cover Tago Mago or Ege Bamyesi.
 
UnCANnily enough, Pinch came up on my itunes shuffle (out of almost 12000 tracks) just as I typed that.

Can.
 Ege Bamyasi and Tago Mago are mind numbingly awesome. Still need to here Future days though.  Powerful music. DT's stuff just doesnt pack a punch, for all its "heavey ness" and "metal ness". but they're the ones who got me into prog or at least the ones who lead me to this website 4 years ago so i guess i should be thankful. Wink
What im listening to

Dream Theater have their moments but Can just inspired so many bands!  From Radiohead to almost all post-rock, their impact is so expansive!

Ha I voted DT. EB was excellent for about two weeks, and then I pumped it up one day and realised how boring it was, I just cant sit through the first couple of songs anymore. At least images and words has it's moments.
