The Beatles vs Kraftwerk – Which Band is Most Influential?

As a GenXer with extensive knowledge about popular music, I find it difficult to resolve this question. The question is, who has had more influence on music and music culture?

This short video piece by DW proudly claims that the answer is Kraftwerk. It’s fun to watch because they didn’t get the same respect in Germany that they first got in places like Detroit, New York and Sao Paulo until many decades later.

I am not sure I can agree with the video or not. I would love to find out what our readers think. Please, by all means, leave a comment below!
