Definitely. I'm not even that into them, but I would have to say that Kraftwerk is a crucial part of the Western music canon.

My favourite Kraftwerk album. "Ohm Sweet Ohm" is proof that machines feel. Masterpiece.

I find many of Kraftwerk's releases to be robotic and a bit kitschy, especially compared to contemporaries like Cluster and Tangerine Dream. This album is listenable, especially the second half ("Uranium" is my favorite track), but I much prefer the follow-up, Trans-Europe Express.
