I was wondering what the popularity of Krautrock was on this board. It seems to be one of the genres with the fewest actual ratings and reviews on the site, but I was wondering how popular it was among the dedicated community.

Quite a bit! It's not an "every day" kind of music for me, but I have a lot of Cds of it and when I get in the right mood I listen to a ton of it.

Tons - it's right up there with RIO/Avant, Zeuhl, Electronic, and Canterbury for me.

I've been listening to more and more of it lately.  The brooding heaviness is pretty seductive sometimes.  Also, those Germans really know how to use and abuse a Hammond.

I have only one album from the genre and I like it.  No vote, I guess.

OH!

That's what you meant in the Shred Room when you said you enjoyed Krautrock with my mom!  Gotcha, boss.

Which album?

EDIT: Nevermind, I figured it out with clever, clever detective work. I actually don't have that one, but have been meaning to pick it up.

I think a lot of people tend to classify much of Krautrock as space rock in their minds.

Krautrock will possibly be my most listened to genre in the coming months, along with some Prog Electronic.  It's a good genre for fall/winter.  I need more Krautrock albums though, my collection is embarrassingly thin.

I don't like repetition so no, not really, but more importantly, I don't understand how a WW1-era racial slur has been permanently attached to this genre of music. Although Wikipedia tells me that kraut means herb and so is slang for marijuana, so maybe that's why.

I like krautrock and listen to it when I'm in the mood for it. I used to have a strange obsession over it a few years back, but that has now subsided.

Would you like some Bailey's?

Really don't mind if you sit this one out.

Yeah, that's always kinda bugged me too. I guess "Kosmiche Musik" is too long to say, but still, that doesn't make the alternative okay.

I prefer playing Krautrock with my friends over listening to it...

Option 3 for me.

Option 4. I can't really see loving the genre anytime soon, but there are a couple of albums that I enjoy.
