this is going to be can right

Can

then Kraftwerk

i'm well aware i left out kraftwerk, cosmic jokers and those pseudo-krautrock middle-of-the-road prog bands like eloy

it's either can, faust, ash ra tempel or neu!
but then again cluster, amon düül and popol vuh released some sweeeet albums

i can't decide. help me out herer

I'm willing to bet most of us have only heard Can, Faust, Neu!, Tangerine Dream and Kraftwerk at most.

i'm willing to bet most of netphoria has only heard kraftwerk

calling kraftwerk krautrock seems weird to me though. it's kind of like calling smashing pumpkins grunge

"Krautrock" was just the British musical press label for the German experimental music scene.

correct.

what about German Oak??


jesus christ man! Can still gets my vote

never heard of german oak, are they just a german 70s prog group or are they a krautrock group

thank you but i am already aware of the best music-related website on the internet

good good

why there isn't an equivalent for books yet is a mystery to me. i'm going to start one and become a billionaire

all blasting yeti out of my very own office building

voted for ash ra. overall discography (and solo offshoots) is more consistent than tangerine dream (who put out a lot of crap in their later years) so that would have been my second choice. i haven't listened to as much popol vuh as i should.

Klaus Schulze has released entirely too much material.

it is john prine

of the ones i've listened to:

Can
Ash Ra
Neu
Popul Vuh
Amon Duul II
Tangerine Dream
Cluster
Faust
Guru Guru

fujiya & miyagi

i'm well aware i left out kraftwerk, cosmic jokers and those pseudo-krautrock middle-of-the-road prog bands like eloy

eloy suck some serious german dick

can

yeah ash ra tempel is the most consistently awesome one

can<i>

of those, i've only listened to can and faust.

can.

Has anyone ever put "Aumgn" on at a party?

From that list I have to pick Can, but when Amon Duul are on they're fuckin on, and if Ash Ra Tempel would have quit after their first 3 albums or so I think I'd have to pick them.

Faust I've never been able to get into, turned off by the silly stuff I guess. Neu and Kraftwerk are neat, tangerine dream are ok, but I consider them pretty different from the more guitar based krautrock.

faust's IV might just be the best krautrock album. go listen to it again
