This is like trying to choose between food and drink: both are essential to life. But Can gets my vote, as one of the great musical groups of the last century. ------------- "we can change the world without anyone noticing the difference" - Franco Falsini |

Amon Düül ll but only because they need the vote. I couldn't possibly chose between the two. ------------- “The Guide says there is an art to flying or rather a knack. The knack lies in learning how to throw yourself at the ground and miss.” - Douglas Adams |

Can is much more accessible, but the other has its moments. ------------- "It just has none of the qualities of your work that I find interesting. Abandon [?] it." - Eno |

Both are great, but Can produced Tago Mago. That album has no equal to me. ------------- http://www.last.fm/user/Salty_Jon" rel="nofollow">

I'll go with this as well. Two of my very favorite bands. The latest Amon Düül album "Düülirium", which was previously known as "Bee as such", is excellent, by the way. I also recommend the re-release of "Vortex". It is a rather conventional album, but the re-release has two bonus tracks which are anything but ordinary, especially "(Ras)Putin in der Badewanne", which has the repeated line "Schiffchen fahr'n in der Badewanne" ("sailing ships in the bathtub"). These bonus tracks appear to be recently recorded because Renate's voice sounds more mature in them. Here a link, the bonus tracks start at 41:56: -------------  BaldJean and I; I am the one in blue. |

Apples and oranges. The two groups have almost completely different approaches to composition, and polar opposite aesthetics. ------------- "The past is not some static being, it is not a previous present, nor a present that has passed away; the past has its own dynamic being which is constantly renewed and renewing." - Claire Colebrook |

| Vortex is a pretty cool album - I return to it more often than their later-70's albums. |
