You know Boney M came out of Germany first.
I thought their political masterpiece “Belfast” would have been top of your list.

Are you asking if Rammstein are Krautrock or not?
Honest question as I have no idea what Krautrock is.

 

[Out on blue 6]

Krautrock in my opinion is Can,Neu,Faust,Cluster and Harmonia. I think people taking the first part literally

Rammstein wouldnt be classed as krautrock

Krautrock isnt just german rock bands....its a genre, style of (rock) music, although kraftwerk fall into it as well....predominantly german bands from the late 60s and early 70s.....psychedelic, cosmic rock.....often noted (but not definitively) for the repetitive, hypnotic drums (motorik beat).....

Joy Division and The Fall would both have been influenced by Krautrock......the german preferred the term Kosmiche Musik.... :-)
