Favorite Kraftwerk album?

Poll question: Favorite Kraftwerk album?

I recently finished watching a 3-hour documentary about Kraftwerk, and now I'm exploring their catalog. What's your favorite album of theirs?

(Note: I've left out "The Mix" and "Minimum-Maximum" as they're more or less greatest hits collections. I've also left out "Tone Float" as it wasn't released under the Kraftwerk name. Also, I only had room for 10 choices. :) )

1. I love the song "Tour de France,"

and I assume it's on their "Tour de France" album but I know so little about Kraftwerk that I'm just guessing.

2. Album?

My parents use to have albums. Ancient :hide:

3. This is a difficult choice

even though I know I haven't heard Kraftwerek 1 or 2, and I'm not sure about Ralf and Florien. Autobahn was the first of theirs I ever heard complete, late at night on a now-gone local rock station that would play full albums after midnight. It was love at the first slam of that little Bug :D

However, the Tour de France Soundtracks is truly wonderful and I will listen to it over and over and over (when I'm in the Kraftwerk mood :P) so, I voted for that one :)

6. It's kruel to make us choose.

7. A sped up "Electric Cafe" (the song) was the theme for SNL's "Sprockets" skits

It's also a decent album for its time (late 80s).

My favorite album is probably Man-Machine or Autobahn.
