Has to be.
Funny trivia about that song; The English version was #1 in Germany and the German version was #1 in the US.
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.
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?
In the Netherlands we have/like several popular German artists, for instance this one by Falco was a big hit.
Falco - Der Kommissar
Falco was Austrian.
Not the time I've encountered such a confusion.
My bad. Certainly he was.
I'd say Jeanny or Rock me Amadeus were a lot bigger. There was also Matthias Reim - Verdammt ich lieb dich.
True.
Der Kommissar was his first hit in the Netherlands though. Jeanny and Rock Me Amadeus produced by Bolland & Bolland (Dutch producer duo but you probably know).
Other German songs from what I remember as a teenager… Halt Mich, Völlig Losgelöst, Da Da Da, Skandal in Sperrbezirk.
I think about AmeriKa by Rammstein.
Does Zedd count?
sad Beethoven noises
I reckon Scorpions was my first contact, in France. Everybody knows the Winds of Change here. Rammstein came later for me, with Du Riechst So Gut. I love them, they're still on my daily commute music.
Cannot speak for all if us Finns, but at least for me the first association was: "Rammstein", and when I continued pondering which song specifically, my brain popped an answer as if it was a self clarity: "Du hast".
German? Is Rammstein still big?
I think, they're bigger outside of Germany than inside. 😅
If you are into rock/metal they are huge. Station tours sold out in seconds.
However in the last year or so the lead singer came under fire for sexual misconduct with fans by inviting them backstage to party (and have sex) and then using date rape drugs on them.
No! Not that one!
Don't! Don't do it!
Die Woodys - Fichtl's Lied
Seriously: I'm Dutch, so we know a lot of them. Maybe Nicole - Ein bisschen Frieden?
I'm a great fan of 80s pop songs. In my opinion Alphaville's Big In Japan is absolute best
Yeah... Asking me (French) about German music, I'll tell you either Nena or Tokyo Hotel. I Think Nena is most known
We... we don't talk about Tokyo Hotel.
Is Tokyo Hotel still a thing?
Don't think so, but I never actually listened to them so I may be wrong
I’m guessing; # Er gehört zu mir
