Don't remember them, but it does remind me of this classic!

The Robots was the best song they ever put out, and that was borderline awful if not for the technology they were using in the late 70's to put it together.  It may have been cool then.  It's not now.

What Kraftwerk was doing in the 80's is the genesis of what became techno as well as other genres/ sub genres of music in the decades to come. 

 

They were vastly ahead of their time. 

That doesn't mean they were good.

But it's from the 80's.

"Were farhn, farhn, fahrn auf der autobahn" - I heard it in the 70's when my dad played a Kraftwerk album on his brand new Marantz hi-fi system, and it's been stuck in my head since.

I didn't like much of their 70's stuff as much. I liked them more so from the Computer World album onward.

Oh, we had a Marantz system as well.  Those old pieces can fetch a pretty handsome penny today if you can find them.

Well, technically, they're from the 70's. 

There wasn't too much technical about the 70's...


NH3...

Kraftwerk?

 

 

TMD, I seldom judge anyone according to their musical tastes, but I don't know if I can discuss music with you any longer and still keep a straight face.

 

Kraftwerk...

the only kraftwerk song I ever heard was autobahn

 

 

 

 

thank god it doesn't stick in my head

Kraftwerk...

 

 

A couple things...

 

 

 

1. So, apparently, despite this often fair & just approach you try to pass off, you're just as judgmental as me and anyone else on here at least musically. 

 

2. You're acting above as if I said this was my all time favorite band or something. Its not, but I do like them especially the Computer World CD and after. It brings me back to when I was a kid. and yep I liked this as a kid and still do listen to some of it today. 

 

3, Say whatever you want, but Kraftwerk were very influential musically for decades after their peak popularity. (early 80's). As I stated, entire genres of music were born off of some of the stuff Kraftwerk was doing.

After listening to this Autobahn song, I can see it.

I'll reply when I can stop laughing, but this time because of the cute way your feathers ruffle.

The autobahn song sucks. Thats early Kraftwerk stuff. Thats not what I was referring to as the more influential stuff, but you probably already knew that.

Autobahn was the song title I remembered from this thread when I had a chance to look the band up.

Both songs sound pretty similar to me. Still, I can see some possible influence.

Definitely an "unique" group of characters...


I think the funniest part was the empty room applause at 3:44.
