It's fun to see "Tago Mago" called "Tahoe Mango".

I know Tago Mago inspires great reverence amongst fans and critics, but for me Yeti is more fun.

CAN rules, in all the worlds, it's not even close. Their magic is utter brilliance, and their brilliance is magical.

Tahoe Mango is one of THE definitive Krautrock albums, so it’s easy to understand why it’s running away with the lead at the moment.

A friend of mine used to argue his favourite Krautrock band were Scorpions, and though he was stating it more because of his disaffection with the label (NB not the music), the Scorpions’ debut is probably closer to Krautrock than Eloy ever came. 😜

Whether either Inside or Blitzkrieg is Krautrockin' enough (and I'd say that that Eloy album is still better suited to this than later ones), and I like those albums, I do still prefer the other albums. Faust today, but any of those could do.

If I were listed, then I think that Dom's Edge of Time would get my vote today. That and Brave New World's Impressions on Reading Aldous Huxley were the albums that really opened Krautrock up to me. Can took me quite a long time to really appreciate. Actually, I did get into Faust early on.

Yeti, but I wouldn't call Eloy "krautrock".

I voted for Faust as I have been spinning that frequently over the last few months.

Also just an observation: I’ve never considered Eloy or Wallenstein Krautrock. They’re more German hard-rock to these ears. Krautrock to me is like a San Francisco in the late 60s on steroids. Too weird to be funky and “loosely fitted”.

I was going to say the same exact thing about Eloy but just went with it, lol.
