I like Kraftwerk primarily because they're a breath of fresh air from all of today's sound-alikes. To this date, no-one has been able to reproduce the kind of sound Kraftwerk do, and they've been around for over 30 years. What does that tell you?
Their first major break in the US and UK markets was '
'* in 1974, which lasted a mammoth 12 minutes (it was actually designed for long drives), but their only number one was with
in 1978, as part of their famous 'Man Machine' album
Give them a listen, and try to appreciate true music pioneers, before someone comes in and says something about Nirvana being revolutionary
*And by the way, that isnt the original version, I couldnt find one without a crappy voiceover
