Those “academic“ composers had a huge influence on many musicians. They literally invented the techniques that groups like Kraftwerk could built upon. You might not like their music, but please don't underestimate their importance for music history! In fact, artists like Aphex Twin know very well how much they owe to people like Stockhausen.

- spacechild1 7y agoI'm not sure what you're trying to say. Yes, it's obvious why Stockhausen didn't get much “air play“ - but how is this relevant? Are you suggesting a correlation between air play and musical quality?
