Not sure why, but everytime I think about German music, I think of this song, 99 Luftballoons. What is the most famous German song in your European country? (www.youtube.com)

Idk most famous but to me "German music" contains:

  • Kraftwerk
  • Amon Duul II
  • Can
  • KMFDM
  • Rammstein
  • Dolls United's version of Eine Insel Mit Zwei Bergen
  • 99 Luftballoons
  • Mo-Do Eins Zwei Polezei
  • Heidevolk, oddly
  • That one Alestorm EP with Weiber Und Wein
  • Blumchen Heut' ist Mein Tag
  • Bubbles Bidibodi Bidibu
  • Centhron
  • Falkenbach
  • Atari Teenage Riot
  • Neu!
  • Neun Welten

Uhhhh fuck I know I'm forgetting some..

Heidevolk, AFAIK, doesn’t have a song in German though. They sing in Dutch and sometimes English

Which is the odd part lol. Idk why I associate them with Germany, but I'm sure my brain has a reason.

[–] johnydoe666@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 2 days ago

I do believe they are more popular and do more shows outside of the Netherlands, so probably in Germany as well. That could be it

Alphaville were German, IIRC. Their song Forever Young was huge in Europe

Wasn't Scorpion also German?
