Did Lady GaGa open the door for Techno Pop mainstream music?

I present for all concerned Kraftwerk, these guys were doing what you could call techno-pop over a decade before Lady Gaga was even born.

But I do think Lady Gaga is the rarest of the rare, a genuinely talented pop star. Maybe not Madonna level though.

i really love when a person knows what he/she is talking about.

thank you sir

i personally like Information Society (Kurt Hurland) and Gary Numan and the rest of the 80's
