Argument for induction: These German experimentalists were responsible for electronic music innovations that laid the foundation for entire movements in synth-pop, ambient and hip-hop music. 1974's Autobahn, 1977's Trans-Europe Express and 1981's Computer World are just three standout examples of the band's panache for finding warmth among machines (and establishing the organic potential of vocoders and sequencers).
