    theyve been releasing a lot of Can archival live albums in recent years. i havent got around to all of them yet

    due to the nature of their greatness they have a pretty overwhelming discog beyond the main albums honestly.

    either totally expanding the studio versions of songs (which were just taken from jam sessions largely anyway), embryonic versions of them or just other random songs I never heard before

    Search and Destroy is great, but Raw Power just isn’t my sound as a full record.

    I feel you. S&D, Gimme Danger, I Need Somebody and Penetration are all god level and full sounding. the rest of it sounds like a different album entirely and is quite a bit more jagged, tinny and brutal than my taste.

    Fun House blows it away as a whole.

    both peak but Raw Power just has that extra bit of dirtiness and pure rawkin compared to the atmospherics in Fun House. Raw Power feels more like the peak of iggy's twisted vision on what rock music should be while Fun House is more hellish d***ged out result of the end of 60s

    ever heard this strange outtake with bo diddley vibes?

    theres definitely a really good song in Moonlight Knight if they could have just cut it down to the best bits and had Gabriel reign it in a bit

    the first Gabriel-led part of the song is the best and one of his absolute peaks. Hackett delivering a mythical tier solo too. its a total prog wet dream

    last 2 minutes of the song is basically an interlude setting up the next song though

    Dark Side eternally one of the greatest combinations of music as an art form and commercial product. somehow peaking in each respect without either suffering at all which is a rare alignment of the stars

    did you peep that Space Opera - Holy River I posted a few pages ago?

    kind of a psych era Byrds tribute and the freakout part is mindblowing. i didnt check the whole album but saw people comparing to a psych/prog byrds or burrito bros

    I don't know if a song ever felt like it was literally multidimensional before Time. Like it actually takes up physical space in the room when its playing

    Speaking of Time, that’s my favorite off Aladdin Sane at this point. Used to be Cracked Actor, but he really needed to go into that hook once more.
