What do you guys think? Ive herd a few tracks and you can really see how they have influenced alot of dance music. I really like 'Computer Love' and 'Popcorn', can anyone tell me if 'Popcorn' is orginally by them or something they have sampled? Any other good tracks i should check out? What are they like live?

I've never heard of Popcorn :?.
I love Kraftwerk, I have all the albums except Electric Cafe and they are superb.
If you want to get into them, I recommend buying Trans-Europe express or Man-Machine first, these are the most accessible albums. There is also The Mix which can be seen as a 'Greatest hits' collection, however the tracks are reworked versions of the originals.
Have never seen them live, nobody told me they were in Manchester the other year! :o

Kraftwerk are brilliant!! I've only got Electric Cafe (on vinyl )
"Muzeeek, non-stop, Techno Pop" - classic!
"Boing, Ping, Poom, Cha" (or something) - love it!
I don't think they made the Popcorn though.
I actually read somewhere that Popcorn inspired Daft Punk's Around the World, and you can sort of hear the similarities.

Kraftwerk are simply STUNNING. To do what they did when computers used to occupy a whole floor...
Although I have to point out they did it without computers. Proper hardware rules. Jean Jacques Perrey managed to recreate the fly of the bumble bee using bee samples, although at that time samplers didn't exist, so it involved copying analog tape at different speeds and pasting together small (a few millimeters) sections of tape...
Just to point out, that, IMO, the massive use of computers and all in one grooveboxes resulted in a good amount of crappy electronic music flooding the market...
