Paul, a bit off-topic, but I admire your psychological knowledge and wisdom, for not to talk about the goodness 
of your heart - and thank you very much again for all your help at many different occasions.  Thumbs Up Smile

Your list Drew reminded me that my list was all Krautrock nothing else. I need to come up with some other German albums.

A few that are on peoples' lists already here.  Of these, my faves are:

Grobschnitt, Rockpommels Land
Triumvirat, Spartacus
Kraan, Kraan (which I got while in Germany)
Holderlin,  Holderlin's Traum
Can, Ege Basayami and Tago Mago
Tangerine Dream:  Rubycon and Phaedra
Frumpy 2
Popul Vuh, Hosianna Mantra

And maybe some I'm missing, but even with all these, it still seems to me that there isn't as much great Prog rock coming out of Germany as there might be.

In the OP, David made mention of German prog outside of the 1970s, and yet very, very few mentions are being made of the wonderful progressive rock music that has come out of Germany in the 21st Century. I find this neglect to be an incomplete representation as well as a slap in the face of hard-working German artists who have been creating great music since the 1970s. Are we zombies, stumbling through life somnambulistically with an ever-fixed playlist in our brains? Come on people! Wake up! Explore the very-much-alive world of this, the 21st Century!

I don't care. I prefer the playful and forward thinking days of kraut and cosmic - as I consider it to be Germany's peak in "popular music". For newer music I look elsewhere and not all that much towards prog. Besides I listen to music from the 14th century up to the present, so 1970's - 2020's is the same era anyway.

I'm still waking up to the wonderful German prog from the classic 1970's era, having not yet made it halfway through my first A-Z playlist of German prog. I also discovered a British Krautrock band by the name of The Utopia Strong, featuring snooker legend Steve Davis, which I found Interesting. Tongue

A very good book about and guide to mainly Krautrock but also other German Prog is Krautrock: Cosmic Rock 
and Its Legacy (2009) edited by Nikolaos Kotsopoulos.
