Kraftwerk - Autobahn

In his Desert Island Discs Vol. 2 series, Roger Taylor has presented uniquely personal interests in unique genres that inspired him and new musical insight.  This musical insight has gone on to inspire musicians wanting more than the established tones known well in the studio and on stage.  Duran Duran is an excellent example...

...In this post though, I am highlighting Roger's preference - "Autobahn" by Kraftwerk.
