Because they are deeper in the underground of music than before. At the moment, besides pop-rock and hip-hop, the electronic music scene seems to be the most productive one. If you are a fan of more ambient and electronic music, you might enjoy some of it. Still, as I am not that familiar with those bands, I am not the right one to recommend some acts Smile
 
While I still can not enjoy Tangerine Dream or Klaus Schulze, my appreciation for Can as well as Kraftwerk is growing. Now, expanding my Eloy-collection, I realise that a lot of great music comes from my homecountry. Crazy but somehow beautiful..
While on the more symphonic or folky side, there also are bands like Hoelderlin or Novalis, who also are worth a listen.
 
To continue local patriotism (Wink), I strongly recommend Peter Bursch and his Bröselmaschine. They released some great albums, but are rather unknown. While probably not being as jam-focused as others, their style is fascinating to me.
 
What distracts me from some German groups are the lyrics. It is something else for me to hear them in my native language. While I understand English or Spanish, I don't take care of the lyrics that much. Especially Electric Orange make it difficult for me to like them..

Eloy is like Camel, a young band if compared with some others but with great albums... Floating, Dawn, Ocean, Eloy Live all four or five stars...

For me Italy and German have the best progressive... England is the most important country...

There is a Grobschnitt's song which anyone must know... Suntrip... Why?
In the 1969, Joachim Ehrig, Stefan Danielak and Gerd-Otto Kühn had a band called The Crew... They played in some places and events songs of their idols like Hendrix, but they also have a song composed at that this... The Suntrip... There is a Suntrip live version recorded at Hagen (69) and included into 'The History Of Solar Music Vol. 3' we can see the fantastic mix between psychedelic, krautrock and space rock...

Krautrock, Zeuhl, R.I.O. are GREAT progressive styles... Amon Duul II is EXCELLENT... Phallus Dei could be consider one of the fathers of the progressive rock... The German bands are less inspired by the english rock than any other country... they have a unique style...

The mighty Eloy get a huge Thumbs Up from me, as do Tangerine Dream.

I can hardly say I'm not a German progrock afficionado, especially since I got heavy favorites in the Berlin electronic school, and I like exploring the Krautrock music.

This is a thread where to introduce everything about the German progressive bands... just like the Italian, RIO and other topics... and in order to not allow anyone think I'm only a Grobschnitt fan I'm starting with the album I'm playing right now...

Strange Guys (Mythos)

I'll write a review of this album because I could believe it's a...
2.25

Strange Guys is at least four stars....
Also this thread is motivated because so many people never listen to some great bands from Germany...
