Choose your three favourite bands or authors - and please write your fave albums of your choices.


BUT

If you can, as third choose the most underrated band/author (in your opinion).

I love music by all almost all of these. I went with Can and Dom but could have gone with any number of others. As my third, the underrated choice, meaning held in too low esteem (add my imo to the following), I went with Brave New World. The reason being that while the epic "The End" is the highlight of its album Impressions on Reading Aldous Huxley, I have come across others who consider that to be the only thing of note and significant worth on it. "The End" is fantastic, but I love the whole album. Also about "The End" I have heard someone express that they're only interested in The Doors' "The End" and as for Brave New World, someone wanted it to be about Iron Maiden instead.

Voted for Neu! Mostly because it's one of the very few "original" Krautrock formations that did not have cringeworthy lyrics :v

Many great bands/artists here. I voted for Amon Duul II, but I would be happy if any of them wins.

Can, Amon Düül II, and Faust. Corresponding favorite albums would be Tago Mago, Wolf City, and Faust IV. The contents of this post are xanthan gum-free.

Amon Düül II - Yeti, Wolf City
Ash Ra Tempel - s/t
Faust - IV
Neu! - s/t
Gila - s/t

Hi,

Glad to see the appreciation for AD2 and Can ... they deserve the credit and then some ... although I would not leave behind that group of folks that ended up making Michael Rother and some others the real heart and soul of what became "krautrock" ... catch the show for Jaki Liebezeit and you will see "krautrock" come alive when Michael Rother joins them for an incredible piece that even Damo was superlative. 

About the lyrics ... kinda sad to see that written about the lyrics ... if we take the anti-west attitude that Holger Czukay mentioned many times, you would think that the lyrics would also be done up likewise, thus, them not "making sense" is an important part of the music and scene, so we don't get attached to some kind of idea or symbology about anything ... and this is important, though we have a tendency to think that "meaning" is important ... and quite often, in terms of the arts ... IT IS NOT! ... as it tends to take apart the actual event/experience for the artist or the piece. It's like folks thinking they can figure out Jon Anderson, and he jokes, that actually it was about his breakfast ... !!! Which makes more sense than not!!! (Good thing that the poster has never read, or heard one of Peter Handke's plays at the time !!! His notion would be destroyed senselessly!) ( ... ohh and that Damo ... inventing lyrics and sounds ... !!!)

Lyrics, have become the lazy way in rock music ... by supposedly telling you what the song is about ... you know what is weird is that for nearly 500 plus years, lyrics have not been the foreward or forerunner of most music, but the Internet audience complaining about it ... is ... I guess a comment about not appreciating the music, because you gotta be told what it is about? 

Krazy!!!

However the lyrics thing died out around 1974 or so, and if we take AD2 as an example, after "Apocalyptic Bore" ... it literally said ... it didn't matter any more ... it was OK ... but we remember the ending guitar/violin duet ... but hate to show it, because the lyrics and the song are way out there! And if you want meaning ... there is no better literature than that in one song! .... (until you go to figure out why the Mona Lisa has a bird brain!!!) (... and the kids had taken all the skybites ... )

Music is not just for listening ... it is for LIVING ... you got to feel it to know what's it about! Not being told!
