As being one of the most sampled groups in the history i will try to show you some of the musicians that has Kraftwerk in their music. I personally look at the sampling of Kraftwerk as showing respect and acknowledgement to the innovative and experimental music they made during the 70's & 80's. If you have any suggestions to the list contact :
