Kraftwerk is the most influential band ever, this is often disputed by teenage girls (who think it's The Beatles) and pretentious virgins (who think it's Radiohead). They were formed in the 1970s and are often described as a Krautrock, Electronic, Synthpop and Experimental, though to be fair with how unique and pioneering they are, its very hard to categorise them. There was also a spinoff band, Neu!, who also made a few bangers. Granted, its not for everyone; anything before Autobahn is regarded as 'unlistenable' by most, even those who like Kraftwerk.
If you want to listen to Kraftwerk just to try it out, the albums are 'Trans-Europa Express', 'Die Mensch-Maschine' and 'Computerwelt' are probably the ones which are best to the untrained ear. Listening to something like 'Autobahn' is jumping into the deep end.
'Kraftwerk is the reason everything you listen to exists'
A joke created by Nazi Germany in an attempt to break British morale in 1941. After the war the British Government created the 'bri'ish joke pass' and gifted it to all European (except France and Germany) and Commonwealth states (except South Africa, due to their standard issue, more powerful, N-word Passes), meaning it is only funny when the above nationalities use it. It therefore cannot be funny when an american uses it, purely due to the fact they are unable to spell correctly.
American: are you BRI'ISH?? HAHHAHAHA
Brit: that's not funny, learn to spell correctly.
European: are you BRI'ISH?? HAHHAHAHA
Brit: haha yes mate that's a fucking banger of a joke let's go
