im into krautrock since quite a long time, love the genre

i think yeti is one of the greatest albums of the genre too

but the five albums are great and they are worth several listenings

If it weren't for the webz, I don't think that I'd know 98 percent of what I listen to now (including Amon Duul II).

This thread is the epitome of the PA for me. Back in the 70s it took me years to collect these five albums and each one was a treasure to beheld and that got played to death until I found the next one - at the time I thought I was one of the few who liked this stuff, now it seems I'm just one of many.
What?

Giving Tanz many full listens didn't change anything in the exact same top two for me.

TANZ DER LEMMINGE !!!!!  Such a wonderfully psychedelic and colourful album from the cover to the music.  I love all those first 5, Carnival In Babylon being the very first KRAUT album I discovered back in 1989, before I heard the term Krautrock, so that's slips in close 2nd, then Wolf City, Yeti, Phallus Dei.  At the other end of the scale, maybe 'Nearly Human', and what is Karrer doing his 'Ape Dance' for anyway ?????

1. Yeti (mostly for the Improvisation side, and no other ADII album compares to Yeti in my opinion)
2. Phallus Dei
3. Tanz der Lemminge (i really like the Marilyn Monroe's Memorial Church Improv, rest of the album is more inconsistent                                                 for my tastes but does have it's moments)
4. Wolf City
5. Carnival In Babylon (a fun album to occasionally listen to)

Voted `Wolf City', I'm clearly feeling nostalgic, as it's not only the first Duul 2 album I bought, but it was also one of the first CD's I purchased when I just started getting into prog so many years ago

I did just listen to it the other night, and I still love the Indian raga/tabla instrumental `Wie Der Wind...' so much, makes me want to dance to it!

Hmmmm, probably better I don't....

Yeti stands out for me. Wonderful from start to finish. But the debut & Lemmings are quite good as well.

Hawkwind is just a great fantasy trip from album to album.  Nothing fancy, just good clean fun.  You'd love it.

I've only heard the first three, somewhat vaguely, and so far I think I've enjoyed Phallus Dei the most.

Boy! ... It's hard to choose between Yeti and Tanz. Yeti's second half just ... just doesn't do. Tanz also has its sucky parts. What inconsistent albums. Nonetheless, ... my intuition and logic tell me "Tanz", so I'll go with that.
