Wir Sind Helden

<< < (3/5) > >>

leahper:
I'm in the Netherlands so naturally I know of a couple of German bands. Most of them I don't particularly enjoy the music all that much, but it's in German, which always amuses me:

Beatsteaks
Die Ärzte
Die Fantastischen Vier
Die Toten Hosen [reasonably good]
Farin Urlaub
Nena
Sportfreunde Stiller
Wizo

That's about all.

Dangerman:
A friend of mine went to Germany and brought back some Wir Sind Helden. This was the second band from Germany I had ever experienced, the first being Rammstein. I was not entirely impressed by their pop-rock-y-ness. But that was a long time ago. I should try listening to them again.

But that sounds like a hell of a lot of work.

Why do newbies find it so fucking hard to have a sensibly sized avatar?

Actually, all of them suck. Especially Die Ärzte, Die Toten Hosen and Nena. Good God.

If you want some good German music, try Systral, Mörser, Acme or Japanische Kampfhörspiele. Kurt are also good at what they do.

pcp:
I'm not familiar with current German music, but as far as I'm concerned, Germany's alright by the music community.  If you manage Faust, Can, Neu! and Kraftwerk in the same decade, there's gotta be some kind of meme there that's just waiting in the subconcious of German artists for the next complete revolution in music, which they virtually carried out in the 70s.  If it weren't for Faust, there wouldn't be a lot of American bands.  Just saying.

Cheers,
