List Rules This list includes studio albums only, so if you add an album make sure it's a proper studio release.
CAN is known as one of the best experimental avant-garde rock bands of all time. This list of the best CAN albums includes pictures of the album covers when available. The CAN discography is ranked from best to worst, so the top CAN albums can be found at the top of the list. Referred to as pioneers of German krautrock, CAN blended ambient soundscapes, bouncy New Wave, sparse minimalism, and electronic music that influenced bands decades after they initially split in 1979. Since then, they’ve inspired everyone from post-punk legends like The Fall and Joy Division to more recent bands like LCD Soundsystem and Radiohead.
To make voting for your favorite records easier, we haven't included CAN singles, EPs, or compilations, so everything you see here should only be studio albums. If you think the greatest CAN album isn't ranked highly enough, vote for it so it receives proper credit. Make sure you don't just vote for critically acclaimed albums; if you have a favorite CAN album, vote it up, even if it's not necessarily the most popular.
