Can > Neu! > Faust > Embryo

all-in-all a great genre, and i love something by just about all of these.

On another note, after reviewing this list, I likely can no longer say that German culture just wasn't what it used to be like I likely wrongly said before.

I could have gone Klaus schulze, Kraftwerk or Tangerine Dream. So I just randomly said Tangerine Dream. People either go for the more electronic stuff or the more guitar stuff. I go for the more electronic stuff. Though I do listen to both.

My favorite overall from this list is Klaus Schulze, with Can and Faust and Popol Vuh closely following, probably in that order.

Can probably deserves top place, but what I'd actually put on my record player more often would be Kraftwerk.

Yeah, I gotta' go with Can as well.

But at their best, Triumvirat were special. Always happy to listen to Faust. And Aman Duul rocks!

Wow. I never knew can was so popular. They're kicking everyone else's ass in the poll.

I'm listening to this. It's not what I expected at all. I hate to admit it but I never heard triumvirat before. I always knew who they were but I never heard them. The album cover is awesome too.

Can for the instrumental chops (I voted for them). But I'm partial to Popol Vuh (love the "atmospherics"). And Tangerine Dream too.

Can is great. Here is an album that is also great

Samtvogel by Gunter Schickert

I'd recommend the essentials first of course but once you've hit those, remember to hit up this one too

Would you consider The Notwist to be krautrock? Or is it too recent?

I like Can, Kraftwerk & Tangerine Dream.
Did not vote as I don't know most of the listed bands very well.

I like originality, great production, atmosphere and energy. Where should I start (what krautrock band)? I'd love to learn more about this (in)famous genre from a neighboring country!

One of the bigger projects I have in the works is to transcribe all of Can's albums from 69-74. So, suffice to say that Can's my go-to Krautrock band, though I do like some Neu!, Faust and Amon Duul, too (aka basic bitch Krautrock knowledge).

For someone who's still going through that phase in their life, it would be CAN for me too but with Faust in an incredibly close second. Tago Mago, So Far, Ege Bamyasi & IV probably make a holy quartet for the genre in my head. However I think The Cosmic Jokers should be considered, they're remarkable and very consistent as well. Obviously, I have a bias 🤣 .

Which do you think is the best krautrock band? Do you have a favorite one that's not listed?
