Me and my dad have been debating this, so please, settle it /mu/. Who were more influencial, The Beatles or Kraftwerk?
>>131097709as much as I hate to say it, The Beatles. but I'm not a fan. I do like Kraftwerk, though.
How does the timeline where Elliott Smith was obsessed with Kraftwerk instead of the Beatles looks like bros?
>>131097739that would be an interesting reality. he would be the keyboard man instead of being the guitar man
>>131097709Apples and oranges. Who gives a shit? Not everything in life is a competition.>>131097739He would have died of drug overdose
>>131097709I've never heard one Kraftwerk song in all my 33 yearsNormies don't know who they are at all
>>131097709Kraftwerk were a lot more innovative, basically creating an entire genre of music. But you'd be a retard to think the Beatles didn't influence more people to play music
>60s One Direction>70s FemtanylNeither, now go discuss the ball game, like normal people
>>131097794don't compare kraftwerk to femtanyl buddy. You can make boyband fag jokes all you want but don't mess with kraftwerk
>>131097709>electronic """music"""
Kraftwerks main body of work really aged poorly even with the remixed live show versions they made 20 years ago. Ironically their earliest more obscure stuff holds up a lot better
>>131097832>frogposting zoomoid""opinion"" discarded
>>131097709Kraftwerk are basically the blueprint for modern music, did you try explaining this to your pop?
>>131097936But nobody listened to them
>>131097709In terms of influence literally no one comes close to Kraftwerk, maybe Charlie Parker or some shit
>>131097909>zoomoidI'm probably older than you ad I have the musical tastes and opinions of a boomerGive me music rooted in traditions like blues, folk, and country played on real instruments
>>131097961Maybe no one in your beer guzzling blue collar peripheral but being the first mainstream practitioners of an all-electronic approach cannot be overstated, almost everything about modern music can be traced back to them
>>131097984Also many forget they directly influenced YMO in Japan which itself spawned so much like classic video game music
>>131097984>Kraftwerk>Mainstream
>>131098016ELP existed before and had way more influence.
It really comes down to this. If The Beatles never existed, Kraftwerk wouldn't either. You couldn't say that the other way around.
>>131097974I don't discuss with frogsharters.
>>131097709Kraftwerk are first movers' advantage merchants. Someone else would've emerged to do some bleep bloop shit
>>131098020They're a musician's musician for electronic people of all kinds. They don't have to be Madonna big (LOL) to have impact.
>>131098135I'd be willing to bet most famous electronic musicians were more influenced by stuff they heard on the radio
>>131097709>60s one direction spamget a job bruh
>>131098090He says as he replies again
>>131097709>Insinuating a boyband that makes three chord pop music for teen girls is influentialold /mu/ would've shut this thread down immediately
>>131097768Wow, I don't think that's correct. You just haven't got much of a musical grounding. You should work on that. I'm a normie and I love them. My six year old son does too (especially the trains and Robots lol). >>131097709Beatles, probably just. But as >>131097765 says, not everything needs to be a console war.
>>131097794>go discuss the ball game/moo/ – ball games and faggotry.
>>131098460Get a personality
