[Kamika]

24. man do not talk bad about Kraftwerk

Or Rammstein for that matter

[Red_Storm]

27. Why?

[Kamika]

28. because

because kraftwerk only revolutionised music, and created the whole techno genre and they started in the late 60s..

[Red_Storm]

29. creating techno was revolutionary?

ok then

[Kamika]

30. err yes

Especially in a time when the standard was the beatles

[a_random_joel]

I love techno.

And that aside, Kraftwerk is in their own league.

[TheMightyFavog]

End of Line.

Just couldn't resist sticking them side by side with Spinal Tap.

31. Spacehog

I know, they were supposed to be retro-chic, and their sound did make me long for vintage Bowie, but overall, they really sucked.

[bif]

32. ABBA

n/t

[a_random_joel]

35. Oh come on now...

[HalfManHalfBiscuit]

Boring elevator music. Soft rock for sub-16 year old dorks.

I'd rather listen to William Shatner sing.

[SEAburb]

37. Danish pop band Aqua

One hit was that nauseating "Barbie Girl".

[Kat45]

38. What about Abba? or the Sex Pistols?

The most generic pop pap imaginable.
