Top 10 German 70.s hardrock albums

[@Pellefication]

The 70's....the greatest decade for music....i've realised that there are literally hundreds of fantastic bands/artists that are complete forgotten today?!

[@stainer64]

There were so many good bands.... Shame on me i, only knew jeronimo and lucifer friends from this astonish list.

[@45overdrive]

You're exactly like me. As long as it's 1971 and rocking, I dig it.

[@freekvreys792]

hi dyvelsten! i started watching your video's in 2008 when i was 17 years old. now i'm 27 with a huge record collection. i have you to thank for it and your video's influenced me in a great way! thanks!

[@marcfedak]

Wow, this post is even more mind-blowing than the one of UK progressive rock you posted. I'll have to check the other stuff you've posted as well. Thanks dyveslten.

[@jeffthrow6892]

Wow....killer list!! All of it sounds great, I was only familiar with Eloy & Lucifer's Friend, now I have more to check out!!! The bands missing I would mention are Frumpy & Out Of Focus!

[@luizsouza2750]

Jeronimo 'sunday times'. Um clássico. No mesmo disco: silence of the night' e 'shades'. Altíssimo nível!

[@zaxmania]

I used to play just about all of these on my radio show in the 1970's in Chicago WXFM-FM 50,000 watts with antenna atop Sears Tower (now Willis Tower).

[@Groovy213]

Hard rock, Krautrock, German rock, whatever it's called it's fantastic

[@SabbathMan8815]

Thanks man!!! I'm gonna go download some of this stuff cuz it sounds great. "Mournin'" should be a lot higher though... that album is perfection. Especially "Got a Bone of My Own" and "Come Down", both of which just blow my mind.

[@fpgrind]

These awesome days will never happen again but a BIG thank you to all the cool heads out in the world that share their awesome tracks and vids with us so we can be turned onto killer music we would have otherwise missed out on. THANX!!!!!!!

[@Olli120]

This first riff is far ahed of it´s time. Whole collection kicks ass so awesome^^ Germans know how to rock!

[@mendex2006]

what about amonduul II? , CAN, xhol caravan , etc?

[@rockinfine]

fantastic post! Remember and still listen to many of these bands..

[@ianhames2465]

Great music I never heard before. I will look further into these bands music. Thanks.

[@bpafonso]

Thanks for this video. I will check the bands that I don't know: Hairy Chapter, Eloy and 2066 and then. Your list is pretty good and I was admired that you had Weed. Awesome band and not very known. Keep on posting videos like this. Thanks

[@RedArmyMostar]

Love krautrock bands, thumb up, thay have original styles , Birthcontrol, Jane, Frumpy and more cool bands, thumbs up

[@ridingsman9384]

Nice picks 2066 and then and wind are two of my favourite albums regardless of genre👍

[@ZeppelinUK]

Agreed... Frumpy for me are the crown jewel as far as early '70's german rock is concerned, and as for Inga's singing voice... Wow!... : )

[@theSavageHippie]

Pure fucking gold all of it.

[@metaldad2112]

Great Selection of Hard rock 70'S German Artists here ... Glad to see Lucifer's friend as first (I agree) & ELOY as included ... But A sad Over-Looked album was the one of a kind (Never repeated sound) Lonesome Crow by The Scorpions ~ I Might Suggest it's Inclusion ~ Perhaps even in the 2nd place ... P.S. I Did Understand this to be a Hard Rock selection (THUS) Excluding the Kraut sound ... KOOL LIST

[@jeffthrow6892]

After hearing the AMAZING Blackwater Park album, I'm not sure how that one can be a honorable mention & not make the top ten! "Dirt Box" is pretty damn good!!

[@eurorocker79]

Right on man, I'm a Phillips fan too and this list was killer! Hairy Chapter is my favorite though, what a cosmic fuzz record!! "Reality has got to die!!!" Wildebeast= dude that's just silly!!

[@closedchannel2713]

Thanks the albums you show are killer , I’ve been on the hunt for some of them not easy finds in my area of Canada. , Cheers keep the great vids rollin, Sean

[@gorontius13]

My introduction to Krautrock was via Can/ Amon Duul ii/Amon Duul i/Neu/ Faust/Tangerene Dream/Nine days wonder/Embryo and a few others. While I bought into the Scorpions up until Tokyo tapes I never considered rocking Krauts as being in the Krautrock genre.

[@howardamess452]

No THIS IS part and place! Besides Germans do hard rock/heavy progressive better than anyone else!

[@Denysdnepr]

Great idea and excellet collection!

[@bakeone4406]

Some real cool stuff listed, but w/ some of em' the novelty wore off for me after a few listens when I had them in my collection. The 1st Kollektiv album, Thirsty Moon/You'll Never Come Back, Embryo Rocksession and the first three Kraan albums, though not released in 71 were solid keepers. If I had to stick w/ 71, Can Tago Mago, Embryo/ Rache, Eiliff/ 1st, Amon Duul II/ Dance of the Lemmings, Neu/ 1st and Scorpions /Lonesome Crow would be in the running.

[@piahillmann1]

Yes I really miss Inga. We played with her many times. Some of the guys I still meet at TONEHUNTER in Cologne when they come over with broken amps ... Harry ... HAIRY CHAPTER ... 2 videos u find on KZbin

[@TheNightification]

Thank you very much^^ I did not think that somebody answer my question the next months...

[@hugobear1]

great video, thanks....I haven't got Twenty Six and Then so must get it. Lightof Darkness were Scottish I think.

[@ТехноДом-я1у]

Здорово 👍 классный 🎸 сборник рок

[@Sycsa]

Great Hammond organ sounds here and there!

[@reggierockit]

I'm speechless. Ron Dankert, descendent of Mecklenburg Germany. 4th generation USA.

[@hikingfordayz]

I love your taste in music and have been adding pretty much everything you have shown us in your compilations. In my case it's mp3 versions. However, because some of your compilations are not available on iPad platforms, sometimes I can only guess at the song titles from the comments. Still, it is interesting enough to look up the bands on KZbin or iTunes to see what it might have been that you were wanting to show us. A list, not in the video, would be appreciated :)

[@Diabolik771]

Another great informative video. Keep making them.

[@hugobear1]

Good work fella....hate to be critical but Light of Darkness were Scottish (but admittedly a German drummer)...personally I'd put Silverbart, Blackwater Park, Armageddon and Zarathustra in above most of these but hey!!! it's only rock n roll and I like it.

[@jeffthrow6892]

I'm sure that it was!! Apparently, there was quite an awesome music scene going on there at that time!! I'm from the Midwest in the USA, but I sure do appreciate a lot of this stuff!!

[@Futurolvidado]

Great selection! greetings from Chile

[@cezardepaula8922]

I just have two of these albums. Lucifer's friend and Jeronimo, I wish to have all of them!

[@bebillious]

I'm glad you rated Lucifer's Friend's 1st Album Tops !

[@murraywoods7909]

Came here for this. "Toxic Shadows" FTW.

[@MezcalaTnT]

Bill M h

[@BaldJean]

What about Guru Guru's fantastic album "Hinten"? Look out for the tracks "spaceship" and "Electric Junk" on KZbin

[@ZeppelinUK]

@BaldJean "Kanguru", Guru Guru's follow up album to "Hinten", was their masterpiece album... Check out the track "Oxymoron", also on KZbin...

[@willyj51]

Great stuff -- thank you -- HAIRY CHAPTER is the greatest band name of all time.

[@holydiver73]

Great bands all. The Krauts certainly knew how to rock....and still do too.

[@TheDarkelf1970]

Thanks. I like this fantastic bands.

[@tscarlsson]

Night Sun - Got a Bone of my own (clip starts around the 4-5 min mark)

[@aleksandrosouzasilva4413]

Sou muito fam dessas bandas alemãs dos anos 70 , são todas excelentes

[@rockenrollling]

very powerful top10, but I would give NIGHT SUN and BIRTH CONTROL higher positions

[@malawri67]

great music,all of them!

[@allensaunders449]

geronimos, there are people one of the best songs i ever heard with great vocals by the way

[@taekwongr]

All great bands, enjoyed the trip back in time lol

[@OldSteamer]

awsome thanks for upload

[@toneyisaiah408]

Rediscovering the classics.

[@casualvinyl2286]

good list :)

[@ZalMoxis]

I have all of these .... awesome stuff...

[@67supernaut32]

Very cool list.

[@ZeppelinUK]

@SLASHdaROCKER If I had to choose, then obviously '80's rock over 21st century rock, but my heart will always be with early '70's rock, the choice of great acts covering heavy rock & progressive through to avant garde rock from Germany... Besides, you can't beat the raw valve overdrive of a guitar amp, a Hammond organ, a Rhodes electric piano, a smooth bass guitar and a deep sounding drum kit, recorded onto analogue tape (then finally digitally remastered, of course!)...

[@mellotrongirl]

My fave German label...Brain, maybe? Bacillus, too. Ohr, Cosmic Couriers. Weird seeing Wind "Seasons" instead of the much different, much more lauded "Morning" When I was in Germany, Jeronimo was really big...only in the past year discovered Spektakel and rediscovered Ibliss and A Young Man's Gash

[@crom666doom]

Thanks for this. I stopped researching obscure 70's music a few years ago, but a couple of new names here may mean I'll have to begin anew. Hairy Chapter albums are great!! I wonder about the name though, does it refer to some bike gang, a scary bit of a novel or just a hirsute moment of intimacy? Heh heh

[@MegaCoolguy666]

B.C.'s pandamonium is so epic. just found that vinyl on ebay.

[@onab]

i like that wind seasons group tell me more about them

[@Ian_sager]

Man this is some real good stuff.

[@valdeck68]

Great songs....

[@aab1221baa]

I agree with that! I've heard the album and i think that it is at least much better than these 10!Can you tell me anything similar to Necronomicon?

[@howardamess452]

Eulenspygel!

[@NenadStefanovicbach]

wel done man. I 've learn somthing new today

[@alladinsane68]

entertaining, informing, inspiring...thx

[@LucifersTrip]

it would be very hard for me to leave Amon Duul & German Oak out of my top 5

[@Norbert5547]

nice work

[@honorarymember]

Yes. Other Philips labels were (a.o.) Phonogram, and Polygram. Philips however has quit production, and distribution of records (and films, and videos). Polygram is been taken over by Universal.

[@namaste91]

I love the snotty organ sound from "What do we do now?"!

[@666-l7u]

Yea, Mournin' is the first one! Weird,but youtube version has the best organ mastering, I doesn't hear it quite enought in FLACs i have found, and I can't afford a pretty rare vinyl. Amazing band, amazing song.

[@TheNightification]

Hi guys, I found randomly this video. I very like the song Nr 5. (Jeronimo [Bellaphon 1971] at 4:44. Unfortunately I do not find this song in the internet. Can somebody tell me the name of it please?

[@toneyisaiah408]

A lot of forgotten about rock and roll classic albums.

[@espinosaxm.a.3670]

Amazing songs, carajo!

[@hangmanfrombrazil]

Only good stuff! Nice post!

[@SPEClES8472]

Some of it reminds me of early Black sabbath.

[@nikolaosmosxakis3395]

all very good,,,,,,,,,,,,

[@Exp2st]

@Bregowald , hey Einstein, maybe I wanted a playlist of all songs in this toplist? : )

[@dannyhood66]

You forgot 'lonesome crow' 71 72 latest

[@jungtarcph]

Do you have the full playlist. Some of them are super cool!

[@japan4ever1]

very nice !!!!

[@wildebeast]

just kidding i love this stuff! keep up the good work!

[@Outmind01]

We Were born in the RIGHT time - if only because we have a much easier time in getting to gems like these then we could possibly have had 40 years ago.

[@eloypath]

I'm missing here: Asterix. Atlantis, Excalibur, Frumpy, Guru Guru, Message. Nektar also stood in Germany

[@TheMancida]

Thanks GREAT cheers

[@neile2001]

ah nothing like 70's bombast :D

[@Peskygee1]

I love these bands and own most of it. Nice post. Poor widebeast has no life. I mean, if I didn't like this music, I would have said why and left it at that. To keep coming back.....mommy and daddy didn't pay enough attention, I guess.

[@HispanicImpression]

For me No. 10 is the best song of this Top Ten ! Maybe even followed by No. 9 ...

[@sigmapleide]

Night sun. I LOVE THEM!

[@n0war]

what is the name of the sonf by "Wind"? i' ve been looking for it....

[@Filpiovano]

@zeppelinuk U and I think alike. But i still don't totally dismiss the 80s though, but yes, there is no comparison, the 70s were, and will always be the best decade for music.

[@patrickneylan]

Well, it's all good fun but I wouldn't call it Krautrock. It's just German bands doing a good job of mimicking Anglo-American heavy blues-rock. True Krautrock … now that's something transcendentally different.

[@dyvelsten]

Yes you are right, i have changed the title now to avoid confusion with with the electronic side of German rock which does not interest me at all.

[@zCloudx]

+Patrick Neylan thank fuck someone knows their shit, just because the band are german doesnt make their music labelled as "Krautrock" but I do agree that german hard rock should of been labelled as "Krautrock"

[@rodericksloan1255]

Sport it,s the brit,s long before your lot get yer fact,s right before ya go mouthing off.

[@dannyhood66]

Patrick Neylan Wasn't (kraut rock) made from machine sound cement mixers noises? Hawk wind added electronics? I like guru guru but there more guitar raw

[@patrickneylan]

In the case of Faust, absolutely, but there's much more variety than that. Hawkwind were big fans. They hired Amon Düül II's bassist, while Opa Loka is a direct steal of Neu!'s Hallogallo.

[@bigdeal8809]

Da singt doch Bernd Noske 1:11 - Der Drummer von den Birth Control

[@bigdeal8809]

sorry hab das cover dann auch noch gesehen.

[@screwpuppies]

all great stuff. Gotta be some Uli Roth in there somewhere

[@19preparetofall85]

What about Guru Guru, Can and Grobschnitt?

[@dannyhood66]

Got a bone of my own shreds,, i wish night sun had a film live from 40 years ago

[@Filpiovano]

@zeppelinuk haha, ur right! And yes, I too prefer to listen to old songs. However, the 80s weren't all that bad. Judas Priest, Rush, King Crimson, Motorhead, Iron Maiden, Queen (although these all got kinda bad in the mid 80s), but then there was Guns N Roses and Stevie Ray Vaughan. But I agree, the spandex & make-up was horrible. But answer me truthfully- 80s rock, or 2000s rock?

[@Luckzzz]

whats the one from the Night Sun?

[@cinnomonsinner]

whats the second song called with macht das?

[@trylleflynrock]

what is the song by Birth Control called?

[@tulipanuu]

Gran pezzi.
