Definitely either of these... 
 I'll second both of those, especially Future Days which is my favourite Can album. It's almost an ambient album, but don't let that put you off if you don't care for that type of music because it's also filled with great rhythms and melodies. I have to say I'm pretty thrilled to see you checking them out. I know what you're saying about the second half of Tago Mago, but I've grown to really love that album - I have to admit I usually skip Peking O when I play it, however. and Halleluwah is a hell of a song, isn't it?

[Edited 10/17/07 16:10pm] "Peking O" had me cracking up in parts! The purchase was worth it alone for "Halleluwah". What do you think of Monster Movie?

I only have the old, crappy copies. | |

I've read about both of these and think those will be my next two. What do you think of Monster Movie and Tago Mago, if you've got 'em? Feel free to join in the Prince Album Poll 2018! Let'a celebrate his legacy by counting down the most beloved Prince albums, as decided by you! | |

I only have the old, crappy copies. I have all the remasters, except for Monster Movie, Unlimited Edition and Soundtracks. I actually didn't have most of their albums on cd until the reissues came out. I just played my vinyl albums dubbed onto a cassette. I bought Monster Movie just before they announced the remasters, so I hate to buy it again. | |

Tago Mago is my 2nd favourite Can - Peking O isn't a something I go to much as I mentioned before, but otherwise I pretty much love every moment of that record. Aumgn is a bit of a mess, I realize, but it's also one of my favourite psychedelic freak-outs ever captured on tape. I really like Monster Movie, though I kinda think of it as a 'template' album - one of those records where the band were still working out their style. There's no denying Father Cannot Yell and Yoo Doo Right, of course... [Edited 10/17/07 16:23pm] | |

Those LOOOOOW strings are downright unnerving! No love for "Mary, Quite Contrary"? Feel free to join in the Prince Album Poll 2018!

I'm going to give it another listen once my current album finishes - maybe I've been undervaluing it... Maybe not- it does hit all the right buttons for me, as I have some natural love for 4-step chord descent. It's probably my favorite at this point, but the whole album is fantastic.

Moonbeam said: GangstaFam said: LOVE! Especially Monster Movie. The cover alone is worth the price of admission. How would you rank the albums you have? You too, Damo! I'ma investigate this shit! I'd slot them like this: Future Days Tago Mago Ege Bamyasi Soon Over Babaluma (the first one I purchased - shelled out $25.00 for a used vinyl copy on a whim) Monster Movie Soundtracks After this, things get pretty patchy, and unless you really get obsessed and feel like you HAVE TO HAVE EVERYTHING THEY EVER RECORDED, you can probably give the following a wide berth: Landed Flow Motion Out of Reach Saw Delight Can There was also a reunion album in '89 called Rite Time that I've never heard, but it's not meant to be any great shakes. There's also a DVD that includes a concert from (i think) '71 that's mostly a free-form freakout. A fun listen and watching experience, but it's pricey - it comes packaged with a not-very-interesting documentary on the band and a CD of solo recordings that I haven't listened to yet for some unknown reason. Edit - I managed to forget that there's a compilation of out-takes called Unlimited Edition that has some pretty cool grooves, but also has a lot of meandering aimless experimentation on it - you could give yourself quite a headache trying to find the quality stuff on this album. Based on this record, I would say they edited their records together very well. [Edited 10/17/07 17:00pm] | |

It seems like once you left the group things went downhill. Well, I think they kept it together for one fairly great album (soon over babaluma), but hey, my word is not gospel - some people like the post-damo albums. Mark Prindle (my favourite online reviewer) gives several of those records reasonably strong reviews. I really don't care for them myself, but they may well be your cuppa. I just listened to Mary, and I think you're right. I've always kinda written it off as a buffer song, just something to track time between Father and Yoo Doo, but it's a good deal better than that. | |

Eddie Vedder - Into The Wild 
Bruce Springsteen - Magic
Radiohead - In Rainbows BIG
Prince - Planet Earth...ok...I loved it the 1st couple weeks but it has not been played in awhile. Really like Guitar, The One U Wanna C and Chelsea Rodgers but thats about it. 3121 is MUCH better imo. Pink Floyd - Is Ther Anybody Out There...The Wall Live 1980-81. The best of the bunch. | |
