Kraftwerk Quiz: Guess the Song & Test Your Trivia

Electro, hip-hop and synth-pop keep circling back to the same Düsseldorf pioneers, which is what makes a Kraftwerk quiz a game of origins. Guess the Kraftwerk song from the showroom pop of 'The Model' and 'The Robots' to the motorway hum of 'Autobahn', then test your trivia on the blueprint downstream, since Afrika Bambaataa's 'Planet Rock' is built on 'Trans-Europe Express' and 'Numbers'. Find out how well you know the four Germans who drew the man-machine before Daft Punk put on the helmets.

The showroom singles (where new players score first)

'Autobahn', 'The Model' and 'The Robots' are the three most players can name on first listen, and they hand out the quickest points on the board. Everything harder builds out from here.

The blueprint under electro and hip-hop (meet the German original)

The real points hide one layer down. Afrika Bambaataa's 'Planet Rock' is built on 'Trans-Europe Express' and 'Numbers', and Coldplay's 'Talk' reuses the riff from 'Computer Love'. Hear the modern hit first, then place the Kraftwerk record beneath it.

The machine-age album run (place the record by year)

Kraftwerk's catalogue is a timeline you can date by sound: 'Autobahn' (1974), 'Trans-Europe Express' (1977), 'The Man-Machine' (1978) and 'Computer World' (1981). A guess-the-album round rewards anyone who can hear the jump from motorway to microchip.

The robots before the robots (the man-machine tell)

Long before Daft Punk's helmets, Kraftwerk had robot mannequins built in their own likeness and performed with a deliberately stiff, machine-like style. 'The Robots' and 'The Man-Machine' turned that idea into pop, so a round on electronic image often starts in Düsseldorf.
