Gojira

The Tragically Hip

The Saw Doctors

Miami Sound Machine (?)

The Gladiators

 

Saw Doctors are a brilliant live band.

 

MSM were all living in the States by that time - I think Emilio had been here for about 10 years

[Bruce Spanner]

Lot of Opeth love I didn’t expect to see.

 

Am I a fan of Can?

 

I have a few randoms that popped up on Spotify, but having always rejected Krautrock because, well, I don’t know, just always assume it was like Craftwork who I hate.

Everything I’ve listen to has been brilliant, is it all this good, or are these randoms the ‘hits’ and a false sense is being created?

Saw them at Leeds Irish Centre years back. I swear the age range of the audience was 8-92. Fantastic Night.

 

Edit: Saw Doctors, that is.

[Captain Howdy]

Nick Cave and the bad seeds.

The birthday party

Tangerine dream

Arcade Fire

Can

Kraftwerk

Clowns

[TheHowieLama]

My buddy Cat will rip my nuts off if I don't get Third World in.

Obviously Toots and the Maytals.

Mana should be in as well.

Buena Vista Social Club

Sepultura

 

What about Weather Report - w Zawinul and Vitous and Airto?

 

Also another kick ass live band - Gogol Bordello.

 

[Mudface]

P J Harvey should be in it as one of the original trio was Irish.

Weather Report would get two, maybe three votes. Pointless putting them in.

 

Their work right up to Heavy Weather is off the charts phenomenal though.

Can were amazing & absolutely nothing like Kraftwerk at all.

[1892-LFCWasBorn]

The Hives

Daft Punk

ACDC (if they count)

 

Could have put more, but don't listen to any others.

I know that now, I’ve always based it around the term ‘Krautrock’, never listened to it and dismissed it as pointless electronic dirge, but I genuinely love what I’m hearing of Can.

 

Where do I start for the deep dive?

Eugene is Ukrainian and the rest are from all over, easier to say they’re a world band based in NY.

 

Great live band.

Good shouts for Sigur Ros, Saw Doctors, BVSC and Laibach. 

I'll add Rodrigo Y Gabriela even though they do covers mostly.
