kraftwerk - midnight special (us tv 1975)

I think they are the most influential band of all time. the Beatles fanatics will disagree. my argument is: the Beatles influenced many rock bands, but Kraftwerk have influenced every electro act, as well as the hip hop movement. what they were doing in the 70's was far more innovative than the Beatles a decade earlier. not a stringed instrument in sight!

The Beatles were hardly without influence themselves.Lennon and McCartney had heard lots of rock,blues and other less famous genres, and blended it together to form "their sound".

Beatles may get all the spotligt, but others like the Rolling Stones and The Kinks were equally influental to later music

Kraftwerk really made something completely different.Music for a more civilized world, if I may say so.Sadly our civilization took a turn for the worse..

But time will prove Kraftwerk right

Africa Bambata (I think that's how you spell it) actually sampled One of Kraftwerks beats and one of Kraftwerks Melodies, and put them together, and he claims that he created Hip-Hop with this... Yeah, right...

hip-hop that we know of today were inspired by kraftwerk. in early 80's all tha break dance movement etc. not to mention ALL the electronic music that we hear today

Hahaha, jerk

Tons of producers of music, DJ's and other famous artists today admit Kraftwerk has been an influence.

Not to mention they are on of the most sampled artists of all time.
