DogsPlayingPoker Posted January 31, 2007 Share Posted January 31, 2007 What is "krautrock"? I've seen that term on this board and I've never heard it before. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

tongue-tied Posted January 31, 2007 Share Posted January 31, 2007 It's a style of music Jeff Tweedy invented with his song "Spiders (kidsmoke)" as heard on "A ghost is born". Quote Link to post Share on other sites
cryptique Posted January 31, 2007 Share Posted January 31, 2007 This is the point where somebody obnoxious points out that this topic is in the wrong forum. That person should be along any time now. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DogsPlayingPoker Posted January 31, 2007 Author Share Posted January 31, 2007 Thanks for the link. And is it off-topic if Wilco considers some of their music krautrock? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

a.miller Posted January 31, 2007 Share Posted January 31, 2007 I thoroughly despise the term "Krautrock." Even after reading its definition over and over, everytime I see it written I automatically think of the Du Hast song by Rammstein. Awful. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
froggie Posted January 31, 2007 Share Posted January 31, 2007 ok fess up - whoe here wrote this on the wikipedia page The band Wilco has shown a growing Krautrock influence in their music, specifically on Yankee Hotel Foxtrot and several songs on A Ghost Is Born, especially on songs like Spiders (Kidsmoke).[ Quote Link to post Share on other sites
