Classic Rock magazine did a Buyer's Guide article on Can and the above songs are the ones included as their essential playlist.   Which of these songs is your favorite?

Pretty impressive list, they did a pretty good job.  Clear pick for me is "Bel Air", one of my favorite songs by anybody, with "Oh Yeah" in second place and "Father Cannot Yell" in third.

Bel mofo Air! One of the best 'epics' of the 1970s.

Hi,
 
Bummer. Skipped the vote. You could at least allow 2 or 3 votes!

Funny but i've never really thought about what my favourite CAN song is. I do think Vernal Equinox is their best from the later period but overall i'm thinking Mother Sky or Halleluwah. Maybe I need to go on a CAN bender.

Out of the list, Mushroom, followed closely by the tracks from Ege. In general, I think my favorite Can song in Paperhouse

Moonshake has always been my favourite Can song.  I like every single song on that list, though.

My favorite is Yoo Doo Right, but the most essential is Oh Yeah or something

No Can-nutter would make the excact same playlist but I can't really complain about a beginners guide to Can of this quality. Great to see Vernal Equinox and Animal Waves included. Everyone seems to hate Out Of Reach (I don't. Its obviously uneven but still worth checking out) check out its stunner November



which is my current favorite along with Dead Pigeon Suite but my alltime favorite is Mother Sky

^Nice one Saperlipopette.
I keep forgetting about that album, which is a damn shame. Love those two tunes you mention.

Really hard to pick a fave out of these - I love all of em. Bel Air is the obvious choice, but I can't bear seeing Oh Yeah without a single vote. No other track of theirs gets me dancing like it does - and I'm talking wild stomping Cherokee salsa here! Fantastic drive to it much credited to Jaki's incessant and monotonous beat.

I would have included that song (November) on the list too, along with Serpentine.  I used to despise the Out Of Reach album, but it has eventually grown on me.

Doesn't Holger Czukay himself hate that album? (He's not fond of Future Days either). I think that is their only album that has never seen a proper re-release.
