Our Favorite Albums (211 – 220)
211. Kraftwerk – Autobahn [1974]
Nominated by Rick Reaction.
Autobahn is the fourth studio album by German electronic band Kraftwerk, released in November 1974. It was the band’s first album to fully embrace the repetitive electronic sound they would become known for (although organic instruments still remained part of their sonic palette) and was inspired by the titular German motorway system.

Nominated by Francesco Fiumara of Caffè Italia who says: And discover British stuff!
213. Weezer – Weezer [1994]
Nominated by Johnny Ganache of Pint O’ Comics who says: Great debut. Metal riffs coming from a bunch of nerds. Quick pop rock hits, so good
214. Tedeschi Trucks Band – Revelator [2011]
Nominated by Michael Benson of 75% Folk who says: Love their playing on this.
215. KRS-One – Return of the Boom Bap [1991]
