What are your favorite Kraftwerk albums? My favorite albums by them so far are:

Computer World
Trans-Europe-Express
Autobahn

I also find that "The Man Machine" and "Radio-Activity" are good albums but I can't seem to get into them as much as "Computer World" or Trans-Europe-Express".

Are Kraftwerk's early albums worth checking out?

I love The Mix, the blue one with a pic of the robots, *rules*. Have you heard it?

Kraftwerk 1
Kraftwerk 2
Ralf and Florian
Radio-activity

But the earlier albums are much different to the later albums, especially the first two which are basically avant-garde krautrock like early Tangerine Dream

Check out Cluster - Zuckerzeit
