- As you may notice by watchin´this, my favourite German label is Philips and favourite year is 1971 when it comes to heavy progressive and hardrock, as always many great bands didnt find space here. Blackwater Park, Armageddon, Message, Tiger B Smith, Kin Ping Meh, Asterix and Gift, fell just outside this list.
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?!
There were so many good bands....
Shame on me i, only knew jeronimo and lucifer friends from this astonish list.
Hard rock, Krautrock, German rock, whatever it's called it's fantastic
You're exactly like me. As long as it's 1971 and rocking, I dig it.
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!
Jeronimo 'sunday times'. Um clássico. No mesmo disco: silence of the night' e 'shades'. Altíssimo nível!
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).
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!!
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!!!!!!!
This first riff is far ahed of it´s time. Whole collection kicks ass so awesome^^ Germans know how to rock!
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!
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.
Nice picks 2066 and then and wind are two of my favourite albums regardless of genre👍
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.
Love krautrock bands, thumb up, thay have original styles , Birthcontrol, Jane, Frumpy and more cool bands, thumbs up
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.
No THIS IS part and place! Besides Germans do hard rock/heavy progressive better than anyone else!
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
Great music I never heard before. I will look further into these bands music. Thanks.
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!... : )
fantastic post! Remember and still listen to many of these bands..
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
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 UA-cam
I'm glad you rated Lucifer's Friend's 1st Album Tops !
Came here for this. "Toxic Shadows" FTW.

Pure fucking gold all of it.
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 UA-cam 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 :)
I just have two of these albums. Lucifer's friend and Jeronimo, I wish to have all of them!
very powerful top10, but I would give NIGHT SUN and BIRTH CONTROL higher positions
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
Great bands all. The Krauts certainly knew how to rock....and still do too.
Thank you very much^^ I did not think that somebody answer my question the next months...
Здорово 👍 классный 🎸 сборник рок
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.
it would be very hard for me to leave Amon Duul & German Oak out of my top 5
Night Sun - Got a Bone of my own (clip starts around the 4-5 min mark)
Great idea and excellet collection!
Great stuff -- thank you -- HAIRY CHAPTER is the greatest band name of all time.
Chicken Bones, Armageddon, Zarathustra - all great rock bands ...MUCH better than crap lie Amon Duul and Can - these are the bands Germany should be proud of.... I'd have loved to be there in the 70s
ah nothing like 70's bombast :D
Sou muito fam dessas bandas alemãs dos anos 70 , são todas excelentes
all very good,,,,,,,,,,,,
Another great informative video. Keep making them.
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.
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.
+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"
Sport it,s the brit,s long before your lot get yer fact,s right before ya go mouthing off.
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
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.
geronimos, there are people one of the best songs i ever heard with great vocals by the way
I love the snotty organ sound from "What do we do now?"!
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.
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!!
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!!
Thanks. I like this fantastic bands.
Deep Purple and Black Sabbath, (great as they both were), should have listened to this and said "What the hell have we been doing?" They thought they knew heavy but this is in a league of it's own.
good list :)

2. Reaction - "Reaction"

Rediscovering the classics.
I have all of these .... awesome stuff...
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.
@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!)...
@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.
You forgot 'lonesome crow' 71 72 latest
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.
Great selection! greetings from Chile
great music,all of them!
For me No. 10 is the best song of this Top Ten ! Maybe even followed by No. 9 ...
All great bands, enjoyed the trip back in time lol
Great Hammond organ sounds here and there!
i like that wind seasons group tell me more about them
B.C.'s pandamonium is so epic.
just found that vinyl on ebay.
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.
Some of it reminds me of early Black sabbath.
A lot of forgotten about
rock and roll classic albums.
I'm speechless. Ron Dankert, descendent of Mecklenburg Germany. 4th generation USA.
Long gone are the days
of album oriented rock
radio stations won't play them today.
awsome thanks for upload
Great songs....
Thanks
GREAT
cheers
Man this is some real good stuff.
great video, thanks....I haven't got Twenty Six and Then so must get it. Lightof Darkness were Scottish I think.
Very cool list.
omg i'm 53 ,how was good the music in the past....
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
@BaldJean "Kanguru", Guru Guru's follow up album to "Hinten", was their masterpiece album... Check out the track "Oxymoron", also on UA-cam...
Amazing songs, carajo!
I'd put Lonesome Crow in there for sure....
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
wel done man. I 've learn somthing new today
all these bands sound fucking good
entertaining, informing, inspiring...thx
Супер!
@zeppelinuk well, at least u could enjoy what the 80s had best to offer. I know they weren't as good as the 70s, but I was born in 94, so I didn't even get to enjoy grunge. Now I'm a teen in this age of shit, and I feel like an outcast. All my friends are out at night clubs listening to Lady Gaga, and I'm home playin' guitar & listening to Lucifer's Friend.
very nice !!!!
No mention of Leafhound? Or was German only their country of releasing Growers of Mushroom?
Night sun. I LOVE THEM!
That first jam is killer..It trips me out how the late 60's early 70's had its share of dark underground bands that no one knows about..There's one or two here i think? That lucifer's friend sounds like Uriah heap "easy liven" or UFO before they started sounding like that I think? I could be wrong.
Only good stuff!
Nice post!
Best Music world wide...
geiler schit!
It's strange, why is not included one of the best heavy track "Executioner" by My Solid Ground
Got a bone of my own shreds,, i wish night sun had a film live from 40 years ago
I only wished that I was in my early 20's in the early '70's, when all these bands where around, instead of being born in '74!...
Todays rock bands are all talentless barred chord merchants,and should learn from the prog players on how to actually play thier instruments properly!!!... : )
just kidding i love this stuff!
keep up the good work!
GRACIAS!
nice work
Gran pezzi.
