Two of Krautrock's legendary bands. I paired 1 with 6,2 with 5 etc. based on PA,s ratings. ------------- "The wind is slowly tearing her apart" "Sad Rain" ANEKDOTEN |

 Never in a month of Sunday's would I ever pair up these albums like this - I can't pick anything.
Polls seem to be confusing the carp out of me today.  ------------- What? |

I can't choose anyway, many great albums here!
The ultimate team-up would have been Yeti and Tago Mago.  ------------- RIO/AVANT/ZEUHL - The best thing you can get with yer pants on! http://www.last.fm/music/Exerior" rel="nofollow - EXERIOR Experimental tech/death/progmetal from Norway! |

Interesting poll strategy :) I think Ege Bamyasi/Yeti is my favorite on average. If There was a Future Days/Tanz der Leminge,it would be a no brainer.

You´re a cruel cruel man John How to choose how to choose....? Errmm, alright... OH yeah.... hhhmm. Well, ok I could go for any of the first 4 options really. I love all those albums - I really do, but seeing as I have been listening a lot to Vive la Trance lately, and Future Days is a personal fave that has been with through a lot of things - I´ll give it up for nr 1. I really don´t get, why that ADll album has gotten such a bad rep. I think it is just as strong as Wolf City, and to my ears they could have been part of a double album.

I think he has paired the strongest rated album of one band with the weakest with with the other and in the middle you get a pairing of roughly equal albums. It will show if you prefer a strong Can and weak Amon Duul II or vise versa or a medium album from both. Or any of the degrees in between. ------------- http://www.last.fm/user/Snow_Dog" rel="nofollow">

Tago Mago is my favorite kraut album, but CIB kind of sucks. So, I went with Ege/Yeti, because that's the strongest overall choice.

Thanks Ian  That pretty much sums it up. I must admit when i look at the last five choices i get confused too because they are all so close it makes it difficult.------------- "The wind is slowly tearing her apart" "Sad Rain" ANEKDOTEN |

Seems to be the popular choice.Thanks Karl,Ron,Anthony and others. I picked Monster Movie and Tanz Der Leminge by the way but would have been happy with any of the last five. ------------- "The wind is slowly tearing her apart" "Sad Rain" ANEKDOTEN |

^Yeah, that was the one I thought about first, but I knew it would get some love. I mean Tanz and Monster Movie are both incredible albums, but I always give it to the underdog for some reason ------------- “The Guide says there is an art to flying or rather a knack.

I knew you'd pick this one Bamsen,well lets just say i'd have been surprised if you didn't. Vive La Trance is the only one on the list i don't own but you've convinced me that i need to check it out(i think i just heard Anthony cringe). I've been on a CAN kick of late,in fact i have Ege Bamyasi on right now.Also listened to Live In London by AMON DUUL II today. ------------- "The wind is slowly tearing her apart" "Sad Rain" ANEKDOTEN |

Yeah I read that review - the guy is obviously delirious - or needs to be... Kidding aside - the review was very good, and we all can´t run around and listen to the same stuff.

Ege Bamyesi/Yeti for me. In general I prefer Can, but Amon Duul II's first four albums still stand up pretty well. ------------- 'Like so many of you I've got my doubts about how much to contribute to the already rich among us...' Robert Wyatt, Gloria Gloom |

Monster Movie and Tanz der Lemminge for me as well...could have been slightly better if it had been Tago Mago and Tanz der Lemminge, though, those are my faves from each band.

Can't really choose. It's either the one with Tago Mago or the one with Tanz Der Lemminge.

Tough call. I went with Future Days / Vive La Trance for two reasons: a) Future Days might be my favorite album of all time, and b) I've really been digging Vive La Trance a lot lately, even if it's not a favorite. ------------- My other avatar is a Porsche It is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle if it is lightly greased. -Kehlog Albran |

It's curious that 4th and 3rd are leading while 3rd and 4th are still at zero. I would have expected a Gaussian distribution. ------------- Curiosity killed a cat, Schroedinger only half. My poor home recorded stuff at https://yellingxoanon.bandcamp.com |

I prefer Soundtracks to Ege Bamyasi
 .Tango Whiskyman; Don't Turn the Light On, Leave Me Alone are among my favorites Can songs and Mother Sky is one of the best tracks I've ever heard.

I absolutely adore Soundtracks, but Ege Bamyasi is just Ege Bamyasi ya know |
Posted By: Mellotron Storm
Date Posted: November 25 2011 at 22:37
You are correct sir plus i feel those 6 are pretty much the best studio albums each band put out. Although i do like Landed better than Future Days(please don't shoot !). Thankyou ! ------------- "The wind is slowly tearing her apart" "Sad Rain" ANEKDOTEN |

Yup but i really like Landed more.I think it's the song Vernal Equinox which i think is one of their best ever tracks.It's a shame Damo isn't on this one or Soon Over Babaluma though. ------------- "The wind is slowly tearing her apart" "Sad Rain" ANEKDOTEN |

Don't know if I rate Soundtracks over Ege Bamyasi, but largely agree with you. Both are five stars to me. You got those three amazing Damo tunes, but I also think Soul Desert and She Brings the Rain are two of Malcolms finest moments To my ears Can did everything right from the start and up to some time in 75-76. Choosing was easy, bacause Yeti is a full on kraut masterpiece and Wolf City is just good. Same can be said about Tago Mago /Carnival In Babylon. Phallus Dei/Monster Movie would be a natural born killer combo though. Delay doesn't really count, as it first came out in 81. -------------

I've been on a CAN-fest of late and honestly rate Delay 1968,Monster Movie,Soundtracks,Tago Mago and Ege Bamyasi all fairly close.I have no idea why Future Days has failed to capture my imagination.Down the road a bit i'm going to re-do this poll with the first five albums of each band because i think it will be a lot closer and harder to pick. ------------- "The wind is slowly tearing her apart" "Sad Rain" ANEKDOTEN |

^ Future Days never clicked with me. With Can, it was Ege Bamyasi that turned me into a fan, though after that I hugely appreciated all of Tago Mago (originally just Aumgn really spoke to me). I haven't heard Delay. I'm going with the popular choice, since I love both albums. Yeti is superb. But I could easily go for Monster Movie/Tanz Der Lemminge too. ------------- Just a fanboy passin' through. |

Delay 1968 and Phallus Dei for me - probably something to do with being into Hawkwind, Sabbath, Stooges, MC5 and new wave when I first heard them. I love the way the riffs lurch along, the instruments gradually coming into sync at the start of Uphill, and the guitar noise in Nineteen Century Man and Dem Guten, Schönen, Wahren - the latter sounding like the guitar or amp's been pushed to the point of breaking, but they're determined to carry on anyway
