Can? Neu? Faust? Tangerine Dream? None of them sound like Oasis, mind. That's largely exhausted my krautrock knowledge.

It doesn't help the OP but can I just say that You Sir, have impeccable musical taste when it comes to Krautrock! :bowdown:

Amon Düül II ?

If the question was 'What are the best Krautrock bands?'

Amon Duul ii may be your answer OP - they've had many styles and line ups spanning the decades.

Herr Tubthumper · Feb 13, 2014

Def Leppard - Rock of Saus-Ages?

Die Totenhosen?

MattBackHome said:
Yeah someone else I know suggested them so I went through their entire back catalogue. Close but no cigar.

This is unbearable.

Hmm, I was about to suggest Die Totenhosen. I did a German exchange once, and the guy I stayed with was obsessed by them.

I'm going back through them now - partly because they sounded so close & partly cause I liked them.

Are your going to Peter Broetzmann, who this thread's title might have been devised for?

Hello mate. It's on my radar for sure. I'm going away the next day so not sure how the evening will pan out. I will let you know though.

Something like:

"Himmminon bitte
Himmminon bitte
A simminon mitte
anja boisin FITTER"

Thanks for all the suggestions. Closest so far is probably Bonfire, but I don't think it's them.

It's definitely not Heino, but he seems like a decent sort. Looks like a Gerry Anderson puppet of Andy Warhol.

It's not German at all, it's a WSU chant :

Harvey's Bitter
Harvey's Bitter
A sip of bitter
Makes us Fitter
