Interesting that Kraftwerk made # 24 in a list largely composed of uninspiring/unoriginal "bands". 24 KRAFTWERK For 30 years, Kraftwerk have cast themselves as nattily dressed robots, melding man with machine, pioneering the use of drum machines, synthesizers, and digital gadgetry. They put the bleep into hip-hop ("Planet Rock"), paved the way for new wave, and invented modern techno (at least technically). Any German intellectuals who can cause an entire region of America (the South) to devise a genre of music honoring our most exceptional body part (the booty) should be celebrated. D.J.P. Influenced: Daft Punk, Radiohead, Richie Hawtin, Afrika Bambaataa and the Soul Sonic Force, Juan Atkins, Devo, Carl Craig, Mouse on Mars, the Residents Classic album: Trans-Europe Express (Capitol, 1977) http://spin.com/new/features/videofeatures/february2002top50.html

Oh my God! So hip-hop was already invented when Kraftwerk made TEE? For f**k's sake!

OK. This guy should learn geography, shouldn't he? Or does he refer to the great influence Kraftwerk have on the South American music as mambo, cha-cha-cha, cumbia, etc. genres?
