Krautrock '70's: your favourite bands/authors?

I just know Can, Faust, Ash Ra Tempel, Neu!, Popol Vuh, Amon Duull I and II, Cluster, Guru Guru.  Voted for Faust (my fave), Popol Vuh and Amon Duul II.  In my opinion Faust are underrated. Surprised that until now Popolo Vuh got zero votes. I've done this poll to study the situation and find some band to discover.

I don't know if you saw the topic, Lorenzo, and it probably won't help but I made a recent topic on German 70s albums in response to another such topic by highlighting different options (despite loving all of the options in the former topic). For that I made a playlist which might give you a taste of some albums to check out.



I go into making playlists due to your Interactive series after George (mathman) starting making them. I find the exercise in choosing and album and one track per album, and putting it together strangely satisfying.

As a lover of Krautrock/Kosmische music, it's been very nice for me to see several recent polls on the topic, and all of the appreciation that has been expressed. :) It's a little light in a rather dark world for me.
