Yeah Kraftwerk and Neu! became a real issue. In the end I felt there were other categories were they were more suitable, they don't sound all that different from various industrial and synth pop groups which no one in their right mind would call prog.
But it's a tough call and who's to say I won't change my mind in the future?
Tangerine Dream are electronic but they have a very Pink Floyd inspired feel to their work as opposed to the proto-synth pop of Kraftwerk. Amon Duul II and Can are not electronic and are straight up avant prog rock.
I probably do need to add Faust though.
