1. Amon Duul II
2. Caravan
The others I don't care for at all.

Caravan easily, though I do like some Soft Machine.
The other 2 - no thank you.

love passionately for very different reasons which makes it hard to choose. Different types of music for different moods and feelings.

you too? Must be a 3 way thing.. 2 way I can choose easily even among beloved groups. The extra variable complicates it and ones mind starts working overdrive until...

Gotta go with one of the "C" bands - Caravan or Can. In the end, Caravan...

The Machine, just over Can.

Can or Caravan...I went with Can the underdog. They're so underrated on this website! How Tago Mago isn't in the top 5 of Krautrock is beyond my comprehension.

C & C & ADII are equal first for me, I really can't choose between them. I love SM too, but not quite as much. In the voting, I gave my vote to ADII, just because they only had one

Alright, I put my head back together, and made a choice.
Amon Duul II. I love all four bands, of course, but AD2 has Tanz der Lemminge, one of my all time most played albums.

Giving it to The Softs again. Could have given it to ADII. Don't care much for the other two.

Then again Amon Düül ll only has 4 votes atm, so there you go Nothing beats a Friday afternoon with a cold beer in your hand, Wolf City blasting from your stereo and a room filled entirely with bananas.

Caravan I guess but I should get more acquainted with Duul (I have only 3 albums)

Caravan for me. I can listen to Nine Feet Underground etc till the cows come home.
But I find it a bit difficult to compare the Canterbury sound of Caravan with 2 krautrock bands and the Softs though. Am I missing something here?
