I am going to have to agree with D4MVP. This is gospel that I have been preaching for years now. Kraftwerk's influence into the world of Hip Hop, R&B, and all sorts of electronica easily cover more ground than rock. I love rock but where is it today compared with all of these other forms. The evidence is incontravertable.
Kraftwerk may have invented Electronic music, and influenced multiple genres today, but they probably would not have been the same without The Beatles. All music is interconnected, and The Beatles were the primary force at the time. Influence is intangible.

The Beatles had a far greater reach than simply in the area of Rock, they changed everything, and I would go as far as to say they experimented more than Kraftwerk ever have considering the timeframes. The Beatles did anything and everything, and reinvented music itself.

Saying that Kraftwerk were better and more influential is like saying Chuck Berry, or...
Saying that Kraftwerk were better and more influential is like saying Chuck Berry, or Miles Davis, Or Howlin' Wolf, or Robert Johnson all suck because music no longer sounds like classical jazz or early rock and roll.
While personal taste is subjective, I would strongly contest your claims that they are more influential.
By the way, I really like Kraftwerk, just so it's clear that this is not an attack on the band.

It appears Alieno has already addressed this further down the page, I didn't get that far yet. :)
