The Robots

They took it beyond merely looking like robots on stage. They actually built robot versions of themselves which would appear on stage during the encores and seemingly jam with their flesh-and-blood counterparts!
Also, with reference to the opening line of the Entry: it's also probably true to say that lots of people have heard Kraftwerk without having heard their name, so often have they been sampled by dance acts in recent years. Kraftwerk's influence on the development of dance music as we know it today has been enormous.

I think it's fair to say that this entry needs just a little updating. I'm still toying with the idea of producing an entirely new entry based around the bands albums.
The Robots only ever played a couple of concerts on their own round about the time of the gigs to promote 'Computer World'. They didn't work terribly well. By the time of the 1991 gigs to promote 'The Mix' they were only used to perform during one song.
