"Progressiveness" or "pop-orientation" doesn't necessary mean "bettter" or "worse".

I like both bands and voted for both, although I slightly prefer Kraftwerk - they are more "German" Nuke

Perhaps the best Tangerine Dream albums are better than the best Kraftwerk albums,  but at their  lowest point KW made accessible yet unusual pop albums, while the rest of TD's career is just horrible.


Ouch there are so good albums outside the classic sphere. And I don't say this as the great fan I am.

You have obviously never heard the two first Kraftwerk albums!

I was about to vote for TD only when I saw that they were winning the poll hands down, which I think is a bit unfair. Personally I prefer TD (yesterday I listened to Phaedra and Atem after a long time, tonight I'll probably pick Rubycon and the 1974 concert from the orange boxset... yummm!) but recently the f*?king mad krautrock completionist in me made me buy some Kraftwerk cds and I find they are excellent. I had (fond) memories of the hits they had in the late 70s, so the "pop" side of Trans-Europa Express and Die Mensch-Maschine (I was lucky enough to get the German version at a very good price) doesn't bother me at all.
Cold, metallic, minimal but essential.

I just realised that I forgot Organisation LP... With it, that makes 5 albums Wink!
and Techno Pop stuff: even before hearing their earlier albums, I bumped into Robots video in my mp3 disc and listened to Man Machine album... even then, I sensed a sort of progressiveness... That said, I believe KW makes the best of that sh*tty music called techno-pop LOL!

I don't believe there is a band called "Tangerine Drean (sic)." But if there were, they'd get my vote...

I only heard Autobahn once and I didn't like it at all. If I had to make a comparison from the first album I've heard from both bands I would go with Tangerine Dream (Tangram).

I don't know TD, but hope to soon, but his description of Kraftwerk is accurate (other than downplaying the greatness of the Autobahn song).

I'm afraid I have nver heard anything remotely "progressive" from either of these artists - each to his own.
