I’ve never considered them before. They are the dog’s bollocks.

Is that praise?

@slawa does “Die sind die Hundeklöten” work similar in German?

It Is the highest praise.

Kraftwerk were a VERY important group. The first of the new wave of bands to totally remove guitars from rock. They single-handedly created the cold, dark, robotic sound that would transform modern music.

I have a couple of their records, but rarely listen to them. Me, I like guitars.

Before I only heard bollocks in negative connotation. But there are positive use cases as well.

Don’t want to brag but seen them play live 12 times over a 20 year period, first one 1978 last 1998.

They really are “The Dogs Bollocks”

Extraordinary how 4 guys standing still doing fuck all have a spell over you.

As a Deadhead, I understand that level of commitment. Kudos. :bowing:

And there looks to be a LOT of acid in that crowd…which could account for the spell. :whistle:

I know last time I enjoyed their company I had consumed 2 ecstasy tablets, numerous lines of coke, half bottle of champagne.

I’m sure they was brilliant.

First time I had drunk or consumed nothing to alter my perspective.
I was young and drunk with enthusiasm.
