Neither has Elvis. Or J.S. Bach. They have the excuse of being dead,
of course.

Name ANYONE on earth who has a cooler image than Kraftwerk! Devo were
close, but damn! Kraftwerk were smooth!

Oh ye of little faith. A good source in the US is Best Buy stores.
The Kraftwerk catalog has bounced around quite a bit -- some CD's were
out on Capitol, some were out on Warner Brothers, some apparerently
are available from Cleopatra -- check out
http://www.hallucinet.com/cleopatra/cleo_cat.html
They list "The Man Machine" "The Model"(Best of) "Radio-Activity"
"Trans-Europe Express" and "Showroom Dummies"(EP?)
cdnow lists "Computer World", "Electric Cafe", "Man Machine",
"Showroom Dummies" and "Trans Europe Express" and "Kraftwerk 2"
and the Japanese version of Computer World, which I presume
has the Japanese Versions of some songs.
