Just Can’t Decide!
In the All Music Guide’s entry for Can, they list the following ‘tones’ which describe the band’s sound: Reflective, Fiery, Complex, Freewheeling, Playful, Rollicking, Gentle, Brash, Acerbic, Hypnotic, Quirky, Detached, Literate, Cerebral, Eerie. One can only assume that they did not include “adorable” because they were not familiar with “Turtles Have Short Legs”, from the relatively obscure Radio Waves album. It’s just so damn cute! It’s like Euro-hippie art rock for little kids.
