12. Kraftwerk -- probably the most commercially successful early 70's German band

There were certainly better ones (Cluster, Tangerine Dream, Can, Amon Duul II).

Post-Ziggy/Young Americans Bowie, and a whole lot of other stuff that's already in the R&RHOF, would simply not exist without what the British Music Press decided to call "Krautrock." A genre based entirely upon race, as most of the artists sounded radically different from one another.
