German Language Songs - which are the best?

I think, a couple of Herbert Grönemeyer songs would be nice, Maruis Müller Westernhagen as well, and of course BAP (although that's 'Rhinelandish' ).

My personal choice would be
Spider Murphy Gang - Skandal im Sperrbezirk; Erste Allgemeine Verunsicherung - Küss die Hand; Udo Lindenberg & Das Panikorchester - Sonderzug nach Pankow; Torfrock - Beinhart.







Glückwunsch! :wink:

The songs by Kurt Weill for Bertold Brecht's "Three Penny Opera" are classics (they include "Mack the Knife").

Danke, Walter!

I'm currently working (very hard) in Stuttgart!

Peter von der Kueche!

<Thinking that there's twice daily a flight between Stuttgart and here ... :wink: >

Yes, those Swabians are hard working people .... *?

My cousins in Germany tell me that English is the language of rock and roll. Native German rock bands write original songs using the English language.

Some. But there are really good German bands, who write their lyrics in German only. Like those, I mentioned above .... and a quite famous group (in the USA as well, even no-one understands them): Ramstein.

The top-hundred in Germany has on 1rst place since two weeks: Tokio Hotel with 'Durch den Monsun' (Through the monsun'), a German boy group. (The next German group/singer is on place 11: Revolverheld, Die Welt steht still - all others are American/English artists.)

Revolverband (a 'shooting star') is, btw, a group playing a music, I like as well website .... and they are engaged in 'anti-Nazi concerts'!

...and what about the "Tote Hosen"? Isn't it a group that's
currently popular?

Well, three years after their last album, "Auswärtsspiel", the brand new album by the Toten Hosen, "Zurück zum Glück" (back to happiness) will be released on October 11.
So they son't have an actual hit ... and are a little bit 'suspicious' due to their songs too often played in the right-wing/nazi scene.

Love the Band Rammstein' singing 'Du Haast' and 'Feuer Frei'

or you could always put that silly 'Schnappi' song on......

Why have I to listen to that at home so often?

Rammstein: c'est bien en gros :wink:

Well 'Rammstein' is a good international German Band.

I don't like Rammstein - no, that's not right. I like the music itself. I don't like the way they are singing. That's scary to me.

Deutsche Songs
Hey, there are tons of German bands using only the German language. Here are some of my favourite`s:

-Wir sind Helden
-Juli
-Echt

Have fun
