I am trying to get into Can every now and then and this is the album I spin, it's definitely good but I can't say it blew my mind, not at all. Rock Bottom is kind of a masterpiece. |

Holy Cow, these have both been in my Top 10 all time. Future Days is my #1 though, so it wins. ------------- 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 |

Can for me, it's a tight call. ------------- Dig me...But don't...Bury me I'm running still, I shall until, one day, I hope that I'll arrive Warning: Listening to jazz excessively can cause a laxative effect. |

| Future Days kills it. I love Rock Bottom but it simply is not in the same league |

Don't usually vote in these polls, but in this case I have both albums, so... Rock Bottom ------------- -- Frank Swarbrick Belief is not Truth. |

Suture Days for me as well. I love that Wyatt album, but there's no getting around the mighty Can - especially in this sweat soaked offering! ------------- “The Guide says there is an art to flying or rather a knack.

I am a big fan of Can but have yet to be albe to appreciate Future Days for some reason. Every couple of years i'll break it out thinking this will be the time it will click with me but no dice so far. ------------- "The wind is slowly tearing her apart" "Sad Rain" ANEKDOTEN |

See it's posts like this that make me feel like there's something very wrong with me that I can't get into Future Days. ------------- "The wind is slowly tearing her apart" "Sad Rain" ANEKDOTEN |

And a very tight race until towards the end when the Wyatt voters pushed Rock Bottom well out in front. ------------- "The wind is slowly tearing her apart" "Sad Rain" ANEKDOTEN |

Quite the list of guests helping out from Frith to Oldfield to Richard Sinclair and Hugh Hopper. I just read the first line from Laplace's review as he says "Great Canterbury album, or greatest Canterbury album?" ------------- "The wind is slowly tearing her apart" "Sad Rain" ANEKDOTEN |

Rock Bottom - never got into Can really, and Robert is so much more intimate. Plus the music on that album is just epic

I noticed a couple of people who associate this album with summer. Ambient and repetitive spells groovy in some minds. This is their highest rated studio album and maybe that's all that needs to be said. ------------- "The wind is slowly tearing her apart" "Sad Rain" ANEKDOTEN |

Rock Bottom is a classic. I love the Mike Oldfield solo on the last song of the album. -------------

Ahhh, very cool. People often don't realize how big this country is, my old boss had some people visiting from England and they wanted to drive over to Banff until he told them it was about a 37 hour drive.  ------------- "The wind is slowly tearing her apart" "Sad Rain" ANEKDOTEN |
