Honest question, why a shock to the hippies? In 69 less than a decade before there was Woodstock and the music, while not futuristic, was very progressive and innovative. All in all I think these folks might have had more to do with the hippies than anyone else at the time, specially in a time right after the world war, with the extreme anti-fascist sentiment in the country.
- PaulDavisThe1st 5mo agoThe sound of Autobahn was so different than anything else in the air, that it came as a shock to everyone. Even if you point out other synth-pop songs ("Popcorn" would be the most obvioous) of the era, Autobahn just doesn't sound anything like them. The biggest reason is that it doesn't work very hard at all to be a song. While there were plenty of people in that era who were not making "songs" (hey, prog rock, we love you!), their approach to that quest was entirely different.
