Winesburgohio: Your Ranking of Can's Holy Trinity

Winesburgohio 02.13.24	Ege Bamyasi > Tago Mago > Future Days for me, though I feel this is a rare instance where there are no incorrect answers! Iconic trilogy and one of the most momentous string of records in the 20th century (and beyond), really just incredible
Winesburgohio 02.13.24	Ege Edges it out
SomeCallMeTim 02.13.24	1 for me
porcupinetheater 02.13.24	Tago > Future > Ege pretty solidly, but all are great obv
ArsMoriendi 02.13.24	Tago Mago > Future Days > Ege Bamyasi Tago is my favorite 70s album
Koris 02.13.24	Ege > Tago Mago > Future Days But they're all fantastic tbh
zakalwe 02.13.24	Stick us down for 3 please
DoofDoof 02.13.24	Also 3
Winesburgohio 02.13.24	Happily! Ege and Tago are really the width of a cigarette paper apart for me
osmark86 02.13.24	trois s'il vous plait
Demon of the Fall 02.13.24	put me down for a number 4... I am in good company already it seems!
Trifolium 02.13.24	I'm 1 and I agree with 9 and kind of agree with all rankings because these albums man, these albums!
Demon of the Fall 02.13.24	what's 9? ... are you a magical flower?! Whoa.
gabba 02.13.24	menu entry 4 for me please
Trifolium 02.13.24	Oh... 😵 For 9 I meant 7... Hehe.
ReefaJones 02.13.24	Future Days > Ege Bamyasi > Tago Mago Tago just has a weak B-Side. Future Days is perfect
TheManMachine 02.13.24	Tago, Future Days, Ege
z00sh 02.13.24	Tago Mago > Future Days > Ege Bamyasi
Havey 02.13.24	Future Days > Ege Bamyasi > Tago Mago Tago just has a weak A-Side. Future Days is perfect
zakalwe 02.13.24	Weak A-Side? lol
Havey 02.14.24	well, all is relative..
Ryus 02.14.24	put me down for number 6
Havey 02.14.24	def feel like 2 should be the rarest order of preference
Winesburgohio 02.14.24	Ahh good to have Future Days Friends show up, welcome. Surprised no-one has gone for 5! I agree re: Tago, I'm sure I've said this before but for me it largely gets better as it goes. though Augmn has its best moments
DadKungFu 02.14.24	Tago Mago > Future Days > Ege Bamyasi
myri14 02.15.24	1. Tago Mago, 2. Ege Bamyasi, 3. Future Days. Hardest ranking ever. Rest in peace Damo Suzuki.
Ryus 02.15.24	"def feel like 2 should be the rarest order of preference" i almost went with that 🤭
Winesburgohio 02.16.24	actually it occurs to me that 5 might well have been my Mums preference - i know she was always gutted that she had to sell her copy of Future Days in London (although maybe it's indicative that she kept Tago Mago...). speaking of, I bought a copy of Future Days in Berlin and gave it to the residents of the flat Mum used to reside at, in Brixton. Reunited! Current inhabitants were bemused but promised to keep it.
gabba 02.16.24	Cool mom you have! Mine listens to ABBA at best.
GhandhiLion 02.16.24	Tago Mago > Future Days > Ege Bamyasi
Havey 02.16.24	i was a 5 before i became a 6, so 2 does seem like the next step in this evolutionary line 🤔
Cygnatti 02.17.24	Picking between Tago Mago and Future Days is very difficult. Tago Mago is maybe less consistent but it floors me just a little more, so I gotta give it the edge. Tago > Future > Ege
robertsona 02.17.24	Future > tago > ege, though I’ve switched it into every permutation over time. But sure I’ll be first
ArsMoriendi 02.18.24	The real holy trinity is onions, bell peppers, and celery At least if you’re making gumbo, etouffee, or jambalaya
gabba 02.18.24	“The real holy trinity is onions, bell peppers, and celery” Not if they come from a Can.
tectactoe 02.26.24	1. ege 2. future 3. tago (all amazing tho)
robertsona 02.26.24	hell yea tec takin a new one
Winesburgohio 02.27.24	hell yes, i've been waiting for that king's take. just finished a spin of "Limited Edition" and it was surprisingly good!, albeit a bit corny in places maybe
tectactoe 02.27.24	oh wow, hadn't even noticed - kinda surprised there's not one other person who prefers them in that order. EGE is just the leanest/meanest of the bunch for me. every song rolls, grooves, jams, and even the two "longer" tracks feel remarkably tight in the grand scheme of things. TAGO, while still great, in the only one of the three that occasionally meanders; i understand that's by design, of course, but there are definitely distinct points where my interest always starts to flag. that's never the case for EGE or FUTURE DAYS. still, though, amazing band.
Trifolium 02.28.24	"still, though, amazing band." [2]
