Nobody else has voted for Radio-Aktivität so I'll have to be the first. The band is moving towards their classic style with this album but it feels darker than the albums which follow (and I like that!).

Why Radio-Aktivität?

It was called Radoac Aictivity in my day.

I went for the first album (red cone) where there isn't a glimpse of a synth.
let's just stay above the moral melee
prefer the sink to the gutter
keep our sand-castle virtues
content to be a doer
as well as a thinker,
prefer lifting our pen
rather than un-sheath our sword

I'm a beginner on this subject and only familiar with their work from Autobahn onwards, but I think it's still okay to vote. My favourite is Autobahn barely before The Man Machine. The Minimum-Maximum live album is great as well.
It's on PA!

"Radoac Aictivity"? Is it Welsh for "radioactivity"?
Anyway, "Radio Aktivität" is the original German title.

My favourite Kraftwerk record had always been "Trans-Europe Express": "Autobahn" is a bit too "soft" for me (I mean that the B-side sounds like any other kosmische German band of these times), while the experimental tracks on "Radio-Activity" lack the direction and the force of the "normal" songs.

I also think that the sound on "The Man-Machine" screams: "1978!!!" a bit too loud to me. In the contrary, the sound of "Trans-Europe Express" seems intemporal, very modern.

That's difficult! It's not Autobahn or anything before that for me... but after that, it could be almost any album, including Tour de France Soundtracks which is splendid. Computerwelt is marvellous... so is Radio-Aktivität, though I am tempted to vote Die Mensch-Maschine after all. But actually I think I'll just refrain from voting.

How did I not see this poll before?!!

AHHHHHH, I CAN'T DECIDE! I'll give it to Computer World since it only has 3 votes and deserves more, but honestly I don't even know. There are so many good albums here.

Bolded and edited for effect. Tongue

But yeah, I went with Computer World too due to it's lack of votes.

I would like Computer World a little more if they didn't count or sing about calculators. Die Mensch-Maschine for me. I also really like the album cover for it too.
