I'm 65 years old & come from Germany. So I know the Scene exactly! Where are Kraan, Nektar & Karthago? Otherwise well researched

[simonmason]

"Solar Music" by Grobschnitt is the most amazing live performance I've ever seen!

[europainvicta]

La Düsseldorf, Neu! and Faust should be in the top 5. And Can should be number 1. They were way ahead of the rest - except for perhaps Kraftwerk who achieved real international mega status.

[clannadgermany]

Da fehlen aber viele Rockbands, eher Prog Rock fehlen: Lucifer's Friend, Nektar, Epitaph, Kin-Ping-Meh aus MA, Embryo, Wind aus Nürnberg, Parzival, Bröselmaschine, Dies Irae, Kraan, Hoelderlin, Message, Ihre Kinder, Neuschwanstein, Wallenstein u.viele mehr !

[markvanderhoek]

I am from Holland and great fan of the German progrock. Eloy is one of the greatest bands in the scene worldwide!

[Preussenzug]

Achim Reichel "Die grüne Reise" von 1971 sollte auch nicht in Vergessenheit geraten.😃

[fredschmitt]

Funny story about Eloy: I was quite old when I listened to Pink Floyd's "Wish you were here" for the first time, but was an Eloy fan for my entire life. So when listening to Pink Floyd, I immediately liked it, and thought "hey, these guys are up there, almost with Eloy!"...

[tomtrana]

For your second part, IHRE KINDER, MY SOLID GROUND, WIND and GILA are definitely worth mentioning.

[sakloyzj]

This video is mirroring 95% of my Vinyl-Collection. Very Good!

[predragtopic]

Can, Faust and Amon Duul II are first 3 for me.

[narrowfield]

I can agree with most of the bands mentioned. But instead of Triumvirat and Eloy, I would have chosen Kraan and Embryo, at least in a top 20. I saw most of the bands you mentioned live. Greatest singer was and still is Inga Rumpf of Frumpy and later Atlantis. Others in your list struggle with the English language quite a bit. In particular Triumvirat. And they wrote silly lyrics like "it was shortly after nine, when they started the new time" (from Spartacus).

[thtasties]

cool compilation - thanx a lot !! (I'm a german guy born in the fifties), but don't miss the unique awesome brilliant ... KRAAN :-))

[Kalighat]

A GREAT DOKU !
GREETINGS FROM THE AMON DÜÜL II-BASSPLAYER )))
(but where is KRAAN, EMBRYO and KLAUS SCHULZE ?

[wahwahwow]

It´s hard to say, which Krautrockbands are the best, but I´m missing some groups like
Mythos, Annexus Quam, Birth Control, Virus, Tomorrow´s Gift, The Petards, Gäa,
Yatha Sidhra, Out of Focus, Rufus Zuphall, Gila, Dzyan, Achim Reichel & Machines,
My Solid Ground, Klaus Schulze….

[ThePaleGuy]

Gila, Kin Ping Meh, Embryo, Mythos, My Solid Ground, Xhol Caravan, Nine Days Wonder fallen mir noch ein.

[robertocaldeira]

Nice list ! Thank you ! Tangerine dream is my favorite, but the most of them I don't know. Here in Brazil, some Kraftwerk and Triunvirat albums made some success. But here in Brazil, the most appreciated German musicians are Beethoven, Bach, Schubert and, of course, Skorpions, Michael Schenker and Uli Jon Roth...Serious !!!

[Andy-of]

Eloy Floating is in my top 10 albums. A prog masterpiece.

[Kingofthetower]

Excellent list of German Kraut/Prog Bands. My personal order would be different e.g. Frumpy in the Top 3 and including Klaus Schulze - in my Top 3 as well.

[sinusiridum]

Popol Vuh, Tangerine Dream, Ash Ra Tempel, Klaus Schulze, Cosmic Jokers, Can, Amon Duul II: they are the first ...no ifs or buts !
