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/t
Deuter - 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.

Tangerine Dream -Force Majeure (yes, this one rocks)
Eloy -Floating
Jane -Fire, Water, Earth and Air
Grobschnitt -Solar Music Berlin (1977)
Cult Deprogrammer: "I was able to get Paul McCartney out of Wings"
Homer: "You idiot! He was the most talented one"

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.

Tried your best to do what? That is the question.

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? LOL

Paul could not resist the urge to try and mock me. It's like a bad itch for him at this point. LOL

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? Unhappy

I was hoping we discuss our misunderstandings by PM, not in the open forum. Ouch

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. Smile

5 stars 2000: Ash Ra Tempel - Friendship (with Klaus Schulze) - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r-UvObqiyVg
4 stars 1974: The Cosmic Jokers - Galactic Supermarket - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cVo_cS_XdL8
5 stars 1991: Manuel Göttsching - Dream and Desire - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wF7JDLIauKE&t=1206s

All 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. Wink
