The word ‘great’ gets used far too often to describe music artists – it’s like the term ‘world-class’ to describe a footballer – with its overuse making it almost meaningless. But if there is one band truly deserving of the term, it’s Kraftwerk. To say they are to electronic music what The Beatles are to Rock ‘n’ roll is a severe understatement. While the latter had popular precursors such as Chuck Berry, Little Richard and Elvis, Kraftwerk were the first band to establish electronic music in the mainstream.
