Kraftwerk 2 is my favorite, but out of the ones you chose for this poll, I'd say The Man-Machine.

Love every album up to 1981, Including the three first. Went for Trans-Europe Express in this poll, but I don't really like it more than Man Machine. Kind of enjoy Electric Cafe as well.

Man Machine is probably the best, objectively, but I have a soft spot for Radio-Activity so I voted for that.

By pressing down a special key it plays a little melody.
1. Computer World 2. Autobahn 3. The Man-Machine 4. Trans-Europe Express

I'm more into pre-Autobahn Kraftwerk, and particularly like the self-titled. Of these I'm going with Trans-Europa Express.

In music history--The beats in Trans Europe Express were really important if you were into early hip-hop and were a break dancer ---I'm sure there are lot's of former break dancers here on PA who will remember

Count me in on that too. My favorite is the debut, which is a wonderful example of early Krautrock. Out of these I´m going for the Man-Machine, but the express is up there as well. This is the best track on MM for me: On another note, am I the only one who finds it mildly funny, that Coldplay actually copied "the riff" of Computer Love, when they made their top hit Talk?
 It´s actually my fave from them...Edited by Guldbamsen - October 18 2011 at 15:56 |

Der Mensch-Machine gets my vote. I like pretty much everything Kraftwerk have released, although Electric Cafe and The Mix are decidedly non-essential. I'm also mildly surprised that there's no love for Tour de France here.

I love my 7" from 1983 to death, but you might be thinking of the later album of the same name I never got into? I would be surprised even if just one person of all their fans would choose Tour de France 2003 as their Kraftwerk favorite. |

I am indeed thinking of their 2003 album, and while it's not my absolute favourite I prefer it to The Mix and Electric Cafe, and would put it on a par with Computer World and Radio Activity.

Only have TMM as of yet, but I like it a lot, so I certainly will get others at some point.
Didn't vote, though, to be fair.

I recognized as soon as I bought the Coldplay CD--I think they admitted it was lifted--it's the exact riff--wonder if Kraftwerk got paid?

I've only listened to Man-Machine, and I thought it was dreadful.

I am truly stunned. When I saw the Poll title (and before I saw the options) I expected an Autobahn landslide, irrespective of the other options.
Not that I'd have voted for it. For me it would be Trans Europe Express fractionally ahead of Computer World.
