Kraftwerk

Eligible since: 1995
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). Call their music krautrock, electronic or whatever you like, but everyone from Gary Numan and Daft Punk to Afrika Bambaataa and Dr. Dre would shout out Kraftwerk's Hall bona fides.
