    Unless it's Kraftwerk you're very much mistaken.

    Got to be the Scorpions. Saw them in Glasgow a few years ago supporting Judas Priest.
    Great Gig.

    KlingKlang is the studio where Kraftwerk created and recorded their phenomenal sounds. I love Kraftwerk but does anybody know Die Toten Hosen? Fun German punk vibes.

    whilst Kraftwerk and Neu are fair contenders for the crown, any mention of the Scorpions is banned from this thread.

    I started this thread and rules is rules. :)

    The fantastic BBC documentary on Krautrock in full here. Just wish it was a hour longer. The social/political background of the Cold War is fascinating. Worth mentioning as well, the radical music scene inspired Bowie to go to Berlin where he made Heroes and Low and produced The Idiot and Lust For Life for Iggy Pop. The German scene was enormously influential and you can really feel the Cold War bleakness of Berlin in the recordings. :)

    Krautrock - The Rebirth of Germany (BBC Documentary) - Full Version

    Documentary which looks at how a radical generation of musicians created a new German musical identity out of the cultural ruins of war.
    Between 1968 and 1977 bands like Neu!, Can, Faust and Kraftwerk would look beyond western rock and roll to create some of the most original and uncompromising music ever heard. They shared one common goal - a forward-looking desire to transcend Germany's gruesome past - but that didn't stop the music press in war-obsessed Britain from calling them Krautrock.

    Music played
    1. Popol Vuh — Aguirre I L'acrime de Rey
    2. Jimi Hendrix — All Along the Watchtower
    3. Richard Wagner — Siegfried's Funeral Music
    4. Amon Düül II — Kannan
    5. Amon Düül II — Luzifer's Ghilom
    6. Popol Vuh — Wehe Khorazin
    7. Popol Vuh — Aguirre II
    8. Tangerine Dream — Phaedra
    9. Cluster — Fur Die Katz
    10. Tangerine Dream — Fly and collision of Cosmo Sola
    11. CAN — Mother Sky
    12. CAN — Vitamin C
    13. Kraftwerk — Autobahn
    14. Neu! — Hallogallo
    15. Faust — Krautrock
    16. Kraftwerk — Showroom Dummies
    17. Kraftwerk — Geiger Counter
    18. Kraftwerk — Radioactivity
    19. Harmonia — Watussi
    20. David Bowie — A New Career in a New Town
