Either you wrote in haste and forgot, or you are completely ignorant of the name Kraftwerk.

Kraftwerk are more important to electronic music than the Beatles were to pop music. They have been around more than 30 years and are still performing today.

Young people...<*sigh*>...they always think they know more than they do.

Edit:

In response to your comment, StBalders, "Der Komissar" was actually a good song and influenced others, but Falco's overall work doesn't have that much impact.

The Industrial bands KMFDM ("Kein Mitleid für die Mehrheit", or "No Pity For The Majority") and Einstuerzende Neubauten are far more important and had longer lasting effect than Falco. Hell, even The Scorpions and Accept could say that, and their music has been dead for close to 20 years.

And I forgot one important point: Falco was an Austrian, not a German.

 Kraftwerk were hugely inspirational. Not that I am into their music, but their legacy is undeniable.
