Krautrock is a huge and popular genre, and I once explored its presence on MB, putting together the list of threads below:-

Krautrock is also a genre that people can`t quite decide on, and threads turn up in the avant-garde / metal and prog sections of MB, though the majority of thread starters have chosen this Prog Rock sub-forum for their threads. Anyway, I thought an index might clarify things for Krautrock fans - all they have to do now is find this post, haha.

Krautrock threads:-
http://www.musicbanter.com/avant-gar...utrock-11.html - extensive thread started in 2008
http://www.musicbanter.com/rock-meta...rock-week.html -this worthy thread very quickly became Krautrock For Advanced Students and focuses on the obscure fringes of Krautrock.
http://www.musicbanter.com/avant-gar...-top-10-a.html - good if you want lists of bands; short on analysis
http://www.musicbanter.com/prog-psyc...krautrock.html - a short thread exploring modern bands that aren`t German. Is that still Krautrock?
https://www.musicbanter.com/avant-ga...utrock-me.html - chatty and instructive, an indication of MB as it used to be more than a true guide to Krautrock

Krautrock Bands:-
http://www.musicbanter.com/avant-gar...n-duul-ii.html
http://www.musicbanter.com/avant-gar...12316-can.html
http://www.musicbanter.com/prog-psyc...201-faust.html
http://www.musicbanter.com/prog-psyc...15942-neu.html
http://www.musicbanter.com/rock-meta...rammstein.html
http://www.musicbanter.com/electroni...ine-dream.html

Krautrock Albums:-

http://www.musicbanter.com/album-rev...er-2004-a.html
I don't understand the full implications of these things, but I wonder if a mod would consider making a "sticky" Krautrock thread in the Prog Music section. One candidate for that honour might be this existing thread:
https://www.musicbanter.com/prog-psy...ck-thread.html
If I were a mod, I'd take the "?" off its title, delete a duplicated post and leave it as MB's Masterthread for all Krautrock fans.
