Kraftwerk Are World’s Most Influential Band?
At least that’s what one expert argues. As the band gets ready to do another of its museum spectaculars, the expert observes: ‘These are art-event spectaculars to which everyone wants entry because no other band since the Beatles has given so much to pop culture.

The sounds they invented have been sampled by hundreds of artists, from Madonna to R.E.M, from Missy Elliott to Fergie, from Coldplay to Jay-Z.
