You think it is really worth 10/10? Maybe a 7?

Amon Duul II's Yeti gets 10/10 from me also!

I have heard of this band quite a bit, albeit it's missing the umlauts. Didn't they put out an album called Phallus Dei as well? If I were to listen, where should I begin?

[PublicImage]

Yes, their first LP was called Phallus Dei, and I think it's quite a good one, despite the strange name.

Yeti is probably the best starting point as it offers a good representation of their experimental side, their accessible side and their improvisational side. They're generally very strange, but I think they're wonderful! Tanz Der Lemminge is another really good album of theirs.

No, a 10

I wonder if anybody likes my selection

Yes indeed!
Very interesting list and well detailed
Now , I'm curious about that group!"Van Der Graaf Generator - Pawn Hearts(1971) and The Least We Can do Is Wave To Each Other(1970)" I wonder if those album are still available! I will have to make a search.

Thank you Nice choices, too

my fave krautrock album !

hey SS, be sure to indeed check out the albums Roger suggested, Phallus Dei and TDL, as well as Yeti. They are VERY weird, but truly brilliant!

[Syd'sSexy]

Don't forget Frances The Mute!

Thanks cymbaline212! I bought the album last weekend and have listened to it twice, though busy with household duties. I will give it a proper listening over the weekend.

I will start with Amon Duul II's Yeti and see what I think! I have heard many good things about this band, and I'm excited to have a listen.

my fave krautrock album !

You're obviously forgetting Ege Bamyasi, Ash Ra Tempel and Monster Movie.

[Metal Mickey]

Ok, let me take a stab at this...

Revolver - The Beatles (obviously)
Rubber Soul - same as above
Abbey Road - ditto
Low/Heroes/Lodger - Bowie
Piper - PF 1
Wish You Were Here/Animals - PF 2
Madcap/Barrett - Barrett
Tin Drum - Japan
Secrets of the Beehive - David Sylvian
Soundtracks - Can
The Bends/OK Computer/Kid A/Amnesiac/HTTT - Radiohead
London Calling - The Clash
All Mod Cons - The Jam
White Light, White Heat - Velvet Underground
The Smiths/Meat is Murder/The Queen is Dead - The Smiths
Funeral - The Arcade Fire

Perhaps I shouldn't have started this exercise...too many albums I consider 10/10, so little space!

[PublicImage]

Low/Heroes/Lodger - Bowie
Piper - PF 1
Kid A/Amnesiac/HTTT - Radiohead
London Calling - The Clash
White Light, White Heat - Velvet Underground
Funeral - The Arcade Fire

Brilliant choices. I'm afraid I had to exclude the pre-Kid A albums by Radiohead in the quote, because I just cannot get into them as whole albums, for some reason. But they've all got some great songs on them (even Pablo Honey!).

I'd also like to mention a few others:

Remember Shakti - The Believer
Godspeed You! Black Emperor - Lift Your Skinny Fists Like Antennas To Heaven and Yanqui U.X.O. (I haven't heard their other albums/EPs yet, but I'm sure that they'll be 10/10 if they're anything like what I've heard already.)
Sergei Rachmaninoff - Rachmaninoff Plays Rachmaninoff
Howling Bells - S/T
King Crimson - Red
The Modern Lovers - S/T
Philip Glass - Dracula
Thom Yorke - The Eraser
