The Singles

Can

Recorded
1969-1990
Released

It’s more than a little funny that a band with almost no pop-friendly impulses ended up releasing these 23 songs on singles. (No idea why this isn’t 24—maybe one of these singles was one-sided?) The odder thing is that it works, at least in some fashion. These fellas were catchy as hell! I mean, what is “Return”? The flip side of “Don’t Say No,” and it’s a bop.
