Where's Tangerine Dream? No doubt it would be the one with the most vote. Just weird, it's like a poll of the best England prog without Genesis

Voted for Can. I could hardly decide between them and TD, but since TD is not there...

and tangerine dream ???what about it

in this poll u choose eloy, but i prefer tangerine dream

"Grobschnitt" 

Eloy and Novalis I can very well live without.

Eloy are what I call "bombast rock" (lots of billowing and wafting keyboards piled upon each other playing "majestic" themes. "The Queen turned up her nose at the king, spun graciously on her heel, wrapping her silken purple robe around her, and fell down the castle stairs".) Also Frank Bornemann of "Eloy" has a horrible German accent.

Novalis have the worst drummer of all times, which, being a drummer myself, disqualifies them from being listened to.

Ash Ra Tempel should be mentioned, of course!!! And Agitation Free!!!! Faust!!!! Embryo (one of the most important bands!!!!) Dzyan!!! The Cosmic Jokers!!! Karthago (they were mainstream prog though and not typically Kraut). Wallenstein. Brainstorm!!! I could go on endlessly.....

If you have a special interest in Orange Peel as a document of early German progressive rock you must he prepared to pay at least 150 DEM for the original LP.   curt cress played for triumvirat and saga too!

Yeh amongs others.Curt was a very very busy musician at the time.
