Can

With rhythm cues learned straight from the Velvets, feedback cues also from the Velvets ("Sister Ray" to be specific) and singer Malcolm Mooney holding a one way ticket to a mental breakdown, the German future rockers debuted with one of those records that is so influential, so important, that no one in the States even got near it until long after punk rock broke everything open. The closer, "Yoo Doo Right," is a 20 minute jam edited down from 6 hours (!), and poor Mooney really sounds like a nutjob on "Outside My Door." The band fails to play a single note that is not ahead of its time.
