Absolutely adore that NEU! album whilst I only "like" Autobahn. I prefer the albums leading up to it as well as the two subsequent releases. Nah had it been Kraftwerk l then it sould have gotten my vote. As it is NEU! all the way. Love the post-punk tunes on that album - predating the whole style by a good couple of years.

Kraftwerk, but not a huge fan of either.

Agreed with MWH, neither of these are masterpieces. Autobahn is good but inferior to Kraftwerk's first two albums; Neu! 75 side 1 is decent, while side 2 does nothing for me. That side especially seems to be very "love it or hate it."

That 'r' in "Autobahr" is driving me crazy.LOL

Voted Neu! If it was Radio-Aktivitat vs the Neu! debut, this would be harder.

THIS, pretty much. I've grown to like Autobahn more than I did over the years.

Neu!'75 is harmless background music with a few rocking bits, I don't care about it but I hate Kraftwerk with a passion . So there's that.
Two random guys agreed to shake hands. Just Because. They felt like it, you know. It was an agreement of sorts...a random agreement.
