11.21.15 | All four are amazing. Can is one of my favorites bands.
Try Broselmaschine; Cluster; Nosferatu; Kraftwerk; and Tangerine Dream. |

11.21.15 | Kraftwerk is one of the most well known so I'm guessing that they would win this
but idk I haven't heard that much krautrock myself |

11.21.15 | For me the top 5 are Kraftwerk > Can > Popol Vuh > Cluster > Neu!
They are hard to compare. Those five are probably the most influential though. Kraftwerk, Cluster, and Neu! influenced tons of electronic music. Popol Vuh influenced Ambient and New Age, and Can influenced Radiohead 'nough said. |

11.21.15 | amon düül > all |

11.22.15 | Tangerine Dream and Klaus Schulze are more Berlin School, but if they count then they'd be up there.
@trve nah not a big fan |

11.22.15 | When I hear Amonn Duul II I hear a psychedelic jam band, while other krautrock bands are in a league of their own. |
AnimalsAsSummit
11.22.15 | 1 is 1
Frankie Dymon Jr. is probs my second favorite krautrock right next to Amon Duul II
check Frankie's album Let It Out and have your mind blown |
Riviere
11.22.15 | Amon Duul II and Can |
EverythingEvil2113
11.22.15 | Need some Klause Schulze all up in ya |

11.22.15 | Ash Ra Tempel is another good one
Also Kraftwerk are way more synthpop than krautrock |
insomniac15
11.22.15 | Amon Duul II - Phallus Dei |

11.22.15 | Thanks guys, I'll add Cluster, Kraftwerk, Amon Düül II, Ash Ra Tempel and Tangerine Dream to my list of bands I have to check out |
RadicalEd
11.22.15 | I feel like Kraftwerk really hit their stride when they left their krautrocky style behind. Neu and Faust are my favs probably. |
beefshoes
11.22.15 | Can is my favorite. Tago Mago, Ege Bamyasi, and Future Days are all near-perfect albums. |
