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!

“Build The Bridge” by Deee-Lite

This song is great for meditation. It also has the feeling of being out in nature. There are no vocals outside of a few animal call sounds. This track is essentially instrumental. There is a lot of stereo movement. It will help you clear your mind for a few moments. Or maybe you’ll just giggle a bit. IDK.

Oddly enough, today is National Garden Meditation Day. If you like that Blue Buddha in the image above, it is available for purchase.
