    A few bands, songs and allegedly a record label (although refuted) were derived from song names, lyrics and personnel of Krautrock band Can. Can you please name them?

    Question #95609. Asked by gentlegiant17. (May 13 08 4:10 AM)


    BRY2K

    		At least four notable bands have named themselves in tribute to Can; The Mooney Suzuki for Malcolm Mooney and Damo Suzuki; the indie rock band Spoon after the hit "Spoon"; the electronic band Egebamyasi, formed by Scottish musician Mr Egg in 1984, after Can's album Ege Bamyasi; Hunters & Collectors after a song on the Landed album; and Moonshake, named for a track on Future Days, and formed by ex-Wolfhounds frontman David Callahan.

    Nu-Krautrock pioneers Die Plankton cite Can as one of their main influences alongside Faust and Neu!

    Besides this, CAN also influenced "classsical" avantgarde composers such as Bernhard Lang and Karlheinz Essl.

    I cannot source a connection with CAN and a record label.

    		Record label reference - there is at least one i know of, which was debated and i read lately that it is refuted.
    I am not refering to Can's own label "Spoon" which of course stems from the song "Spoon".

    Song references - there is at least one i am aware of, and a VERY explicit one a that.
