Any other Kraftwerk fans? I can't find any on the internet except in the comments of YouTube videos. Why don't you like Kraftwerk?

Who doesn't like Kraftwerk? They were such a huge influence on so many genres of music. I really started getting into them when I found out how much influence they had on hip-hop, specifically producers like Dr. Dre, J Dilla, and Madlib.

I've got a few of their albums on vinyl including Electric Cafe, Computer World, Autobahn, and a compilation album. Still need to find Trans Europe Express!

Late 80s-2000 hip-hop is my favorite music so they've always been in the background, but the first time I heard them proper is when I was reading trivia about the old Mike Myers "Sprockets" sketch, how the theme song was "Electic Cafe" sped up lol

While I was binging on World of Warships a couple years ago I listened to their entire catalogue chronologically, and it's just great. The run of classic albums from Trans-Europe Express to Electric Cafe/Techno Pop is outstanding. The way they put emotion into primitive synthesizers is unique. Been listening to "Neon Lights" a lot lately. The Man Machine is in my top three favorite albums atm

Kraftwerk owns. I was in the front row for one of their 3D shows almost exactly 2 years ago and it was a hell of a ride.
