Rock and Roll Hall of Fame..

Not to mention King Crimson!

BTW, Ralf Hutter has  admit that the "ein, zwei, drei, fir" intro to  "The Model/Das Model" when performed recently (i.e. since 2005!) is his/their tip of the hat to The Ramones...

"Kometenmelodie 2" on side 2 of the "Autobahn" LP is pure 12-bar 3-chord boogie. With synths.

Yeah,yeah,yeah but they are still not Rock'n'Roll, 4 minutes on one record from a 50 year career doesnt make them der machtig Quo
They are kraftwerk, they are pretty much their own category

Very true, Jim! There's been a few try to copy 'em, but none comes near, IMHO, not even Karl's or Wolfgang's solo albums.
