“Radioactivity (Remix)” from The Mix in 1991. I’ve loved them ever since I was 8 years old in 1984, listening to Computer World (1981) and Radio-Activity (1975) to ad nauseam.

I’ll go with Trans Europe Express. Partially because that’s the tune (I think) that got afrika bambaataa into Kraftwerk and thus helped spawn electro! Planet Rock!!!

Radioactivity. Such a classic.
I’ve never really thought of Kraftwerk as Krautrock. Kraut, yes. Rock? Not so much. Can is the ultimate Krautrock band.
