Nah...lot more than five; here's a couple:

1. The Man-Machine
2. Tour de France
3. Europe Endless
4. Neon Lights
5. Computer Love

As important as they were to music I confess that I have avoided them at all cost. I have been listening to electronic music for most of my life and have yet to purchase any Kraftwerk. I did DL the Tokyo 81 gig and enjoy it. But how many "my computer" songs sung in German or with a German accent can you take? Even the Scorpions realized that German sucks for rock and roll (my Schlosslunen ancestors rolling in their graves now).

But those 17 minutes of Autobahn are great.

ohm sweet ohm... hmmm, that's a pretty unique choice, don't you think.

Yes "Ohm sweet Ohm" does appear to be a unique choice - in the sense that I'm the only one who has picked it !

"Ohm sweet Ohm" has always been a personal favourite of mine ever since I bought the Radioactivity LP back in the 70's. It's just a beautiful track - very underated in my opinion. Not a million miles away in feel to "Your Silent Face".

Boing boom chuck :barf:

Try "The Mix". Very accessible, reasonable length songs, not too much Geiger counter ;)
