I guess someone could make a case for Amon Düül, or even Ash Ra Tempel. For me it’s Popol Vuh. There are things guitarist Danny Fichelscher does that I’ve never heard another guitarist do. I wish I could write an album review for Das Hohelied Salomos [1974]. I know I would sound like Ralphie from ‘A Christmas Story’ waxing poetic about a red rider B.B. gun, though. |

Can. I even dig their mid/late '70's attempts at Ambient, Afro-Cuban, Funk, Jazz Fusion, Burundi and Disco. Something so organically cracked mosaic genius about this band. In the same way as Tom Waits, Frank Zappa/The Mothers, Dr. John, Jerry Garcia/Grateful Dead & Lowell George/Little Feat. |

CAN drummer Jaki Liebzeit and bassist/producer/mad scientist Holger Czukay were always their secret weapons. An exceptionally versatile rhythm section that can swing for days and days in any genre, any groove. |

Jaki Liebzeit and Holger Czukay hooked up with Jah Wobble for an amazing LP of mental dub plates in 1982 called Full Circle. Essential listening. |

Amon Duul II here for sure as tops, and you know I also dig the hell out of some Popol Vuh. I've been listening to some later Ash Ra Tempel, and while it's not as freaky zonked out, it's still magical. I loves me some Brainticket as well. |

12 studio LPs in 10 years. All good to brilliant in quality. No other band from the era can touch that mark. |

Found some time to give this band a full album listen. It’s a solid effort with every track offering something unique. I’ve never heard jazz drumming support a folk-type song before. |

So damn funky while retaining all the hallmarks of the unimpeachable CAN. |
