Ha! Are you saying this because you don't get them, but want to get them? I was thinking about writing Patti Smith down in this thread, but then I realised I do get her, I just don't like her much, apart from a few songs. Which is fine.
If you do want to "get" them, read some of the interviews (from whenever), especially the ones with Jaki in them. It's very striking when you read their words how unlike other bands - then and now - they are. Irmin "theorises" in interviews, and Holger mythologises. Both these things probably seem necessary to them, but to me that way of talking about a band is unhelpful, and a bit juvenile. Every big band does it. But then they'll all talk about HOW they worked and learned together, and it's just magic to read.
I fucking LOVE Can.
