KRAFTWERK: Massively important for brain-shatteringly obvious reasons. Electronic music, in both its most populist and most experimental form, starts here, and the group's records have aged insanely well. Plus, how cool would it be to see their robotic stage show at the induction gala? Or to hear them give their acceptance speech in binary code? Similar omissions: Afrika Bambaataa, Can, Silver Apples.
