no music has hit me quite as hard as krautrock,

i definitely prefer the rock bands over the electronic, but either way it is the most free music i have ever heard that for some reason doesn't carry the  pretentiousness you find in many other prog genres

Baris Manco,Erkin Koray,Cem Karaca,Mogollar,3 Hürel,Selda,Edip Akbayram,Fikret Kizilok,Ersen (and Dadaslar) (but stick with the '70's, and 'early 80's!)
