If Pink Floyd is the Kings of England in the 70's and Frank Zappa the Kings of America, Tangerine Dream would have to be the Kings of Germany.

This is not a complete poll at all. Sooooo many great German artists are missing. Out of this list though, I'd have to go with Neu!.

What about Faust, Popol Vuh and Ash Ra Tempel?

From the options given, Can first with Neu! a pretty close second.

And I'll join the chorus demanding Kraan - their 1975 live album is incendiary!

Of course not naming Embryo is a big oversight. And how about Annexus Quam? And no-one seems to know Between! (They are not even in the archive!). All in all there are a lot missing. (Ash Ra Tempel, Dzyan, Birth Control, Wallenstein, Brainstorm, Popol Vuh, Xhol Caravan, to name a few more).

Does anyone of you know them (I guess Phillipe knows them, I KNOw that he knows them because he knows almost EVERYTHING released by a german band in the70' )

The Baldies know Kraan, of course. I often pointed out Helmut Hattler of Kraan should appear in any bass poll.

My fav German bands from that era are Eloy, Tangerine Dream, Cluster, UFO and Amon Duul II.  Ergo I guess the later gets my vote since it's listed.

(Yes I'm aware UFO wasn't real prog.  Everyone needs a little headbanging now and again.)  <SMILIE>


Most of all UFO were not a German band though.

Good gawd - what kind of choices are these?  I had to create an account just so I can respond.

Where is Cluster? Tangerine Dream? even Kraftwerk?

But, by far and away, Far And Away, FAR AND AWAY, WHERE IS FAUST!?!?!

# 1:  Faust

(distant) #2:  Neu!

#3: Can

#4: etc.

Yes where is Kraan. Got introduced to their first 5 albums in the last 18 months ( coincides with following EMI of Germany's release of remastered versions of those records on CD). I was started off by the experts in Krautrock, the Freeman brothers at Ultima Thule in Leicester (http://www.ultimathulerecords.com/)

on Kraan's Live album. This is an outstanding live recording, and in particular  Helmutt Hattler's electric bass playing is magic - when the electric sax isn't taking lead, Hattler takes over and lets the guitarist play rhythm. Really a recording of an early jam jazz band?

Enterely right Zappa123...it's true that numerous bands miss on the list...but well I think I'm gonna vote for Novalis or Amon Duul (despite the fact that I really enjoy listening the music of most part of the bands mentionned above)
