It would have been virtually impossible for pop bands like Kraftwerk to produce their music if not for the massive corpus of tools and practices developed by innovators on the ubuweb list.

I am actually bummed to see ubuweb referenced on HN. Musical taste is a very emotional topic for those that haven't made a formal study of it. Publicizing this to an audience of armchair music historians who think this tame list is "eclectic" likely won't take the time to understand that it is the bedrock of research that created pop electronic music.
