Why the hate on Radioakitivitat(Kraftwerk)?

Not everything has to make sense. ;-)

A casio? In 1974?

No, it's not "haters go hate" - it's not that simple. From a musical perspective, they are the antithesis of prog rock. Everything is remarkably simple and predictable. Contrast and compare to Tangerine Dream - who are simple enough in places (up until the late 70's).

This is not "haters go hate"  - or "having no idea about the subject. " I think I know what I'm talking about here, having just built a Eurorack modular at component level. 

Kraftwerk used a very simple setup, wrote very simple, populist tunes (at least in later life) - it's basically electronic pop and no longer serious music. It may have been revolutionary in some ways, but just using a synth was deemed "revolutionary" for some bands in the 1970's. Much, much more musically revolutionary stuff came out of Germany in the late 60's and 70's. 

I can play Autobahn with one hand. It's deliberately composed ("no idea about the subject") not to use any of the "difficult black keys". It neither excites or challenges me. I'd say I was just "bored" by it, but all the media circus around it leads me to a conclusion that I "dislike" it. It's really just fluff propped up by marketing. 

Very well, your opinion, you explained it well. It was my joke  OK. Still, why do hate them or anything that is in their primary level. Unless they can make huge money for somebody else´s work. Surely they were below the average German prog at the beginning but they were experimental, nevertheless n their own way. They weren´t the brightest of the genre for sure. They may even have tought that they really were progressive, perhaps namely because were using simplest gear. And because of that they may have even been very proud of their work. This of course has nothing to with real gift or creativity. They thought being cool but actually weren´t. Usually naive people think being really good.

I mean, I can play the famous solo of Steve Hackett´s finest, namely "Firth of Fifth" very very good.     

I can copy note by note perfectly but this has nothing to do with real talent, it may actually sound very clumsy to a trained ear and a true musician.   

First, I ain´t no expert on electronic (rock) music either, I just occasionally listen some Tangerine Dream and Klaus Schulze but the first from TD is intorerable, also "Alpha Centauri" is quite boring but their mid-seventies albums are getting interesting...  I never took Kraftwerk so seriously really and wasted no more time with their albums. They turned into electronical pop for sure. Actually they invented "computer rock/pop", music done by machines ? As I said I ain´t do specialist but Kraftwerk were pioneers in programmed/computerized pop ? So they were kinda forerunners on serious computer music, actually funny impression  ? Well, they turned into banality nevertheless.

I gather most folks instantly think of 'The Robots' or something to that effect when they hear Kraftwerk mentioned. I bet they haven't heard this:

Actually, all the early synthesizer folks were very simplistic ... and things like NEU and many others around them were simply the turning on a knob with effects on it, which was something new at the time ... and today we can buy that effect on a VST, and it cost 3 cents, and in many cases even less.

KRAFTWERK, starting with the Autobahn piece, went on to make what has been described as "commercial music" which differed from the others that took music much more seriously and composed like it, on the synthesizer ... but that is not to say that Vangelis, or Tangerine Dream, never spent 5 minutes turning a knob with different effects, they simply disguised it better as a musical form, instead of just playing child like games with it.

I do not dislike KRAFTWERK, and they deserve their spot, but I would not consider them serious composers like I do TD, KS and many others. Ans yes, I would consider KRAFTWERK pop, but only going back to Autobahn as the earlier stuff was a bit different, even though it already had some pop elements in it.

It was a natural development of the synthesizer ... the easiest one of all to make and do, I suppose we could say. 

In 40 years of playing, I've never been tempted to buy a drum machine. As soon as Kraftwerk switched over to drum machines, well, that was the end of it, really. ;-) (By contrast, TD used a much more complicated method of doing electronic percussion.)

Kraftwerk - even the simplistic stuff they did later, is influential on modern electronic music. That's not to say it was good or revolutionary, but it certainly did condition and form the basis of synthpop and New Wave. Turning the contour down on an early Mini produced a different sound. I have no problems with them doing it - what I have issues with is the total commercialism they sank to, becoming a parody of their former selves.
