The fact that this shares a genre label with Autobahn is a fucking travesty.
The fact you just insulted Kraftwerk, one of the most important bands of the 20th century, is a fucking travesty.
...and it's not like Kraftwerk didn't start out as an experimental art rock band either.
What? Krautrock now means "experimental art rock"? You just threw a fit because people misused the term "emo" and now you're defending the blanket term "krautrock" to describe anything coming out of Germany in the 60s and 70s?
And I think Autobahn is banal tripe, but that really wasn't my point at all. I have plenty of other negative opinions about "important" albums, though.

No, but the first two Kraftwerk records are very much following the lineage of krautrock, of which historians and aficionados agree.

I stopped reading caring after this, oh and using quotations around important since it's an objective fact that Kraftwerk were one of the most important things in the scheme of the avant-garde and electronic scenes.

I thought you stopped reading.
I'm very grateful for much of the music that the album inspired, but don't like it at all. You'll have to find a way to cope with that, sorry. I'm sure you dislike plenty of my favorite albums too.

I doubt I'd speak without tact and call it the equivalent of dreck or

as I have a large amount of respect for other people and musicians to do such a cynical aggressive act. You know damn well stating such things is antagonistic and either you don't care or put yourself above others. I'd hope neither is the case.
