The reasons that they are popular are NOT simply because they invented a genre. They also make good music, and still do to this day. I'm not trying to start an argument, just stating what we all know as the truth, exept you, apparently.

Kraftwerk were pioneers of the highest order, but their lasting appeal is down to them writing great songs that contain melodies among the finest ever written in any genre. Also their mastery at creating atmosphere with just a sparse selection of sounds - far harder than just adding endless layers to achieve the same effect. So much electronica is self-indulgent and goes nowhere remotely interesting, but Kraftwerk's Teutonic discipline and classical training means they never fall into that trap.

Good idea, I love it!
Cheers from Argentina, I saw them twice here, the first one in 2002 and recently with the Radiohead tour. It's really a shame that Florian doesn't tour anymore :(.

the core of electronic music is here - they will never be equalled - superbly brilliant

Awesome twist on a classic.
That is to have live riders in the
performace. The guys should get
on the bikes for an encore.

Electronic music has been my life and my living and whatever you think or post Kraftwerks huge legacy speaks for itself. Their recent output doesn't take away from anything they have done or achieved, quite simply i dont give a toss about that, i just still love their music/concerts. I think ultimately you just don't get the music, never mind.

Your layers argument is so lame, most often less is more!
But maybe you like a bit of clatter in your music type guy, each to their own.

ANYWAY I really don't see why you posted on here in the first place. Slating everyone comments, being childish and offensive when someone didn't agree? If you don't like what everyone here obviously likes then please don't post on here again. Maybe post on something positive on a band site/blog you actually like and b e p o s i t i v e instead of dissing moaning and dissecting, but then again maybe thats your thing?
Anyway breath, wasting, anybody?

i agree, in the same way james brown created his own genre of dynamic funk and soul..
his output was so immense also but obviously with such quality a plateau point is inevitable and yet irrelevant as the legacy left behind is immense
