Kraftwerk has to be one of my all-time favorite.
This is one of the most melodic and widely sampled piece by Kraftwerk. They released a German and an English version, and it reached No.1 in the UK singles chart in February 1982.
Coldplay sampled The Model’s melody, see you can hear it.

I saw them perform in New York during their Minimum-Maximum tour. The sound is indescribable – clean, crisp, and rhythmic.
Here is another clip of the The Model sung in English at a concert in London in 2004.
