TD are considered Space, instead of Kraut. With TD it would have been more than "Quite a bit"

I never listen to it (unless I try a PA mp3 sample), but it goes too far to state that it sucks, so I think that option #4 fits me better. Sometimes it sounds good to me, but manchmal I feel forced to think that the performing artists have smoked too much... Ermm... Kraut.

I'm not sure what to vote here. 
 
It's not as good as "I really like it" but better than "it's alright I guess".

I listened to a little Krautrock once. Really dug the vibe, wish I could remember what band it was. Its one of the genres I'll slowly work my way towards in a year or two, I feel.

Quite a bit.

Krautrock, RPI and Prog-Folk are what I mainly listen to when it comes to prog, I guess.

But TD makes me cringe... Wink

Option 2 for me. Of course I have to be in the mood, but I could probably listen to Can's Tago Mago, Ege Bamyasi and Future Days every day, they are amazing, and work great as background music if I'm reading or painting. Oh, and Hosianna Mantra is invaluable at night before sleep, it digs out the saint in me i guess Tongue

I know what it is. Its just that there are so many other sub-genres that are distracting me from listening to it.

I like to listen to krautrock like Can, Guru Guru and I want to listen to more krautrock. It's however quite expensive if you're a vinyl collector like me. Some krautrock is to avant-garde for me, but a lot of bands made very impressive and stylish prog.

I have a few Amon Duul II albums which range from pretty good to okay for me, and I have one Can album of which I only really like one song.  So I can't say I'm real big on the genre, but I'm open to hear more.

I love Krautrock. I think it's one of the best things that happened to (prog) music.
Not my favorite genre though...

Went with "Quite a bit, I really like it". I haven't had a Deutsche Avantgarde streak in a while.

Definately the 2nd option from the list.  Quite a bit, but there's so much other stuff to enjoy I can't fully immerse myself in just Krautrock.  Fantastic sub-genre, without question.

I'm alright with it. I was more into it a while back. Like someone else said, I have a problem with repetition these days. I wonder if I'd still even like Music for 18 Musicians... although, that actually varies a ton.
