- Reminder that this ranking is not my opinion; it's from RateYourMusic and was chosen by the users of the site. The only subjective part is the personal favourites.
This chart was retrieved from December 1st, 2024, but due to an issue that I'll hopefully be able to fix in next videos, the last songs' placements are taken from December 13th 2024.
The Krautrock genre is not included in either primary or secondary genres due to its placement being redundant, but keep in mind that all of these songs were marked as Krautrock and other related genres by RYM users
The alternative name for the genre "Kosmiche Music" is in the title because the name "Krautrock" originates from a slur and thus might be offensive for some people.
According to RYM, Krautrock is a subgenre of Experimental Rock that "brings together elements of Psychedelic Rock with avant-garde influences, often incorporating hypnotic rhythms, extended improvisation, and Electronic textures". It typically uses the Motorik Beat and it was originally a Germany exclusive scene, but nowadays it has evolved into other numerous sounds that oftentimes collide with Post-Rock, Noise Rock, Ambient Pop, Post-Punk, among others; sometimes by means of a subgenre of Krautrock named "Neo-kraut", although it hasn't been added to RYM yet. Better known artists of the genre include Can, Neu!, Faust, Amon Düül II and early Kraftwerk. rateyourmusic....

I recently discovered Health and Efficiency and it quickly became one of my favourite songs of all time. I was hoping it would be on this list, but the fact it was number one! Awesome!
Must have been hype as hell
You think, y’know maybe it’s in there - maybe’s it’s even high on the list but then it progresses and you start thinking that it’s probably not even going to be on the list, but then you hear it before you even see it
This sounds like a great playlist and the perfect blunt rotation
niice, someone else doing this stuff. Glad youtube algorithm actually worked for once.
I'd like to add Stereolab's Emperor Tomato Ketchup
Health and efficiency is the GOAT
Bonus krautrock songs with very low ratings count (Can be found when sorting the chart by esoteric with lowest popularity rating, with a premium RYM account.):
Take these with a grain of salt of course.
1.boredoms - 7→ (Boriginal) at 4.54 / 120 ratings.
2. LUX - XIV at 4.67 / 27 ratings.
3. The flaming lips - 6 Hour Song (Found a Star on the Ground) at 4.49 / 55 ratings. Whole album is at 3.77 / 453 though.
4. Buffalo Daughter - cyclic at 4.54 / 32 ratings.
5. Can - Millionenspiel (1969) at 4.34 / 99 ratings.
6. prolapse - flex at 4.56 / 16 ratings.
Almost everything I listen to is somehow infused with elements of this genre, insane.
VERY NICE!!!!!

"it's from RateYourMusic and was chosen by the users of the site" Awful list. So RYM users don't prioritize Harmonia, La Düsseldorf, Cluster, or Silver Apples, but Beth Gibbons and Miles Davis are top-rated Krautrock artists. F'ing hell.
I say this as someone who's listened to all of La Dusseldorf's discography, they're pretty mid tbh
Eh, it gives decent respect to NEU!, Faust, and Can, who are the really important progenitors.
RYM is hard to argue with but also hard to agree with
to be fair it’s not like the users decided these are the best krautrock songs. it’s just these are the highest rated songs on the website with a tag of krautrock
