With Krautrock expected to get no love from the Hall, there doesn’t appear to be much chance for a group whose commercial success barely left their homeland of Germany. There is however a number of artists who were inspired by NEU!’s version of minimalism and their pioneering work of remixes and Electronica. Although they may not have had Kraftwerk’s overall impact or their longevity, they did make their stamp in the musical world.
The original number one selection has dropped to number two. The initial holder of the sardonic title of “the most deserving band or artist who should be in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame who is currently not in”, may once again top our list despite being a band with limited commercial appeal; weak North American sales; are largely unknown to most people, did not speak English as their first language and quite frankly has a remote chance at best to receive induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. These German innovators may define best the Rock and Roll HOF’s induction criteria, which includes “the influence and significance of the artists’ contributions to the development and perpetuation of rock and roll”. Wait, why did they drop from the top slot again?
