If Hutter never got pranged on his bike and Kraftwerk got Electric Cafe out on time they would have changed music during that decade.Comment

You can't blow away all 80's sample songs. Ok the classic fairlight song was axel f, granted but zoolook and electric cafe were both works of great significance. Dare by the league is still the greatest electronic album of the 80s though.Comment

kraftwerk were the biggest influence on popular music since the beach boys who kraftwerk described as their biggest influence.Comment

Met up and had a tune with the Beach Boys recently, can't say they've influenced me in any way.Last edited by Cliphead; 26 October 2010, 22:00.Comment

The coda to 'Surfs up' must shurely be the most beautiful music ever created, the vocals straight after the middle 8 in 'don't worry baby', Wilson wrote 'the warmth of the sun' the night kennedy was shot and Rufus Wainwright calls it his favourite song, the Beatles wrote 'here there an everywhere' the night they heard pet sounds and McCartney has stated god only knows is his favourite song. Good enough for me.Comment

Originally posted by Mich the Tester View PostNo, it was an irresponsibly affordable, unfeasibly fast motorbike designed by a psychopath and marketed to 17 year olds as a method of Darwinian selection. Those who survived were either;

- provided by their genes with a remarkably durable skeleton
You see the trouble was that up to about 5 or 6 thousand rpm, it felt like a slow, quite civilised motorbike. Above that all hell broke loose and it turned into Beelzebub's rocketship. Now, if you went into a bend in, say, third gear, and then accelerated out, you would often hit the so-called 'power band' (the point where the motor's power suddenly rises toward a peak) before straightening the bike, and the back would simply break out; alternatively, if it was a warm day with lots of grip the front wheel would rise, giving no steering, and you'd hit a tree.
The chaps at Yamaha sorted the problem on later models with a so-called power-valve (YPVS), which adjusted the airflow into the cylinders to ensure a more gentle and predictable supply of power; obviously, that meant anyone with a YPVS model was a bit of a wimp.Last edited by suityou01; 26 October 2010, 22:38.Knock first as I might be balancing my chakras.Comment
