Bold #1 and #2 there. Totally dig Minimum Maximum, but Ralf und Florian, while really lovely and a solid record, lacks that laser focus of their late 70's early 80's peaks. I think if this poll was active I would lean towards Trans-Europe Express.

Ralf & Florian is definitely a Kraftwerk album, it's got the band name on it, record label, sleeve, all over.
I have one - a cheapie off ebay thanks to a mis-posting of it named "Rolf and Florian", £20 damn mint!

Radio Activity doesn't get much love here, does it? Since the first time I heard it (about a decade ago), it's been my favorite.

... 4th favourite album in this poll, not really unloved.

Yes, but that coupled with it not even placing on Alfred's list makes me think I'm a much bigger fan than the majority here.

4th out of 12, getting twice as many votes as the next option

So, you are a bigger fan than most of an album that gets plenty of love on ILX.

Well seeing as most people voted for other Kraftwerk albums, he's right!

Die Mensch-Maschine hands down, perfect experimental - pop crossover.

Minimum-Maximum is so good, I bought it right when I got my subs installed and it was wild to hear these songs with pounding bass
I thought that album was what turned me around on Tour de France Soundtracks, but looking back that album was great all along

i f&cking love minimum-maximum.i know hardcore KW fans who hate the revised versions and hate the album with a burning passion.but for me, it's the best of all worlds.classic tunes, revised sonics, and the sound of the best live gig ever.i saw their 3d tour a few years back, and yeah, it was truly brilliant, but it was not on the same level as the m-m versions.

Same. Seeing them on the Min-max tour in Prague remains my favorite concert ever. The Man-machine ticker intro, the sound, the visuals, the thrill at seeing those robots come back in for Robots. Also saw them do TEE for a 3D show it somehow something was missing (perhaps lesser acoustics despite being in a modern classical venue)
