Can is a Progressive rock act. Their sound grew out of The Peel Session, Money Mark, Karlheinz Stockhausen, The Beatles and The Velvet Underground. Those roots explain a lot about how Can arrange songs and choose their tones. They run in the same orbit as Amon Düül II, Holger Czukay, Captain Beefheart & His Magic Band, Soft Machine and Gong, sharing audiences, venues and reference points rather than a straight line of influence. Their influence carried into Moonshake, The Telescopes, Stereolab, Wire and Esplendor Geométrico, where the same ideas turn up rearranged for a later generation. Altogether the chart holds 71 connections around Can, reaching back through The Peel Session and forward to Moonshake.
