Going for what PA classifies as Krautrock only: Holger Czukay - Movies Can - Soon Over Babaluma Amon Düül II - Yeti Now I guess I'd get to the best 15 if not more by listing albums of Holger, Can, and ADII only (and it goes even further including associated solo albums that aren't in this category or not even on PA... Irmin Schmidt!!! But also Jaki and Chris Karrer), but in order to bring in diversity: Agitation Free - Malesch Faust - s/t (and IV) Guru Guru - Live Neu! - s/tDeuter - D Popol Vuh - Hosianna Mantra Ton Steine Scherben - Scherben Actually, despite being a big fan of the top 3, otherwise most German stuff I love is not in this category.

Krautrock is one of my favourite categories and these were the first to spring to mind (one album per act).
Dom - Edge of Time Brave New World - Impressions on Reading Aldous Huxley Message - From Books and Dreams Can - Soundtracks Popol Vuh - Hosianna Mantra Yatha Sidhra - A Meditation Mass Embryo - Embryo's Rache Faust - So Far Amon Düül II - Yeti Ralf Nowy - Lucifer's Dream Neu! - Neu! Ash Ra tempel - Ash Ra Tempel Brainticket - Cottonwoodhill Tangerine Dream _ Electronic Meditation Agitation Free - Malesch Dzyan - Electric Silence Kraan - Kraan Harmonia - Muskik von Harmonia The Cosmic Jokers - Galactic Supermarket... And also in a kind of Krautrock universe, I love Bobby Beausoleil's Lucifer Rising, then there is Boredom's Vision Creation Newsun, and I love This Heat, and I could include more pop acts such as Stereolab for some early albums, some Portishead, then there is David Bowie's Berlin trilogy. And a quite recent discovery of mine, Vanishing Twin I find that a lot of the sort of art pop and art rock music of the 90s up that I love has a Krautrock influence (often referencing Can and Neu! and/ or Harmonia...) |

"one of my favourite categories" I'm happy to have you here with us others, Logan, an to give you this possibility. "a lot of the sort of art pop and art rock music of the 90s up that I love has a Krautrock influence" I'd say, certainly yes, as well.

Nobody has mentioned Neu! - Neu! '75
. I guess it's just me loving that.

They're not Neu! They're Old! They've been around since 1971.

Tried your best to do what? That is the question. I was talking about an album I enjoy a lot. What were you talking about?

He tried his best to be funny. Neu = New, but they are not new. They are from 1971, so they are old. Psychedelic Paul - that was pretty funny at least to me.

Why did you think it was necessary to explain the joke? Paul could not resist the urge to try and mock me. It's like a bad itch for him at this point.

What I was trying to say was that I had another view of it, or at least I wasn't sure about the correctness of your view, Cristi.

correctness? The guy made fun of me for three days. What correctness are we talking about? What is it that I don't understand here? Basically I should always turn the other cheek, when I defend myself I'm rude or inappropriate, or what?  I was hoping we discuss our misunderstandings by PM, not in the open forum.  |

In the spirit of Friendship in this New Age of Earth we're currently living in, I'll add a few more Krautrock favourites to my Galactic Supermarket shopping list.
These are Space Rock albums I Dream and Desire of the most.  1977: Ashra - New Age of Earth - https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_n_kR6-2IslcPoE-8P5hDGtScWiNl2SqZQAll four albums are notable for featuring the combined talents of guitarist Manuel Goettsching, although I'm sure any aficionados of Krautrock will know that already.
