This thread is just nice, GERMANSMUSICS Options

[Rhiannon]

I DON'T KNOW WHAT PPA'S THREAD IS BUT SHOW OFF COOL BANDS FROM GERMANY HERE I'LL START YOU OFF WITH EVERY GERMAN BAND I CURRENTLY LISTEN TO which doesn't actually vary a huge amount as far as genre goes and it's such a small amount of bands so everyone else please post good bands you know of. ANY GENRE.

They don't necessarily sing, or always sing in German. But they are German. And don't be foolish enough to actually watch the videos to any of these, please.

Corvus Corax (or, here's stuff from their Cantus Buranus albums which I usually listen to)
Empyrium (or, for people who aren't really into metal, go beyond their 1997 album)
In Extremo
Lacrimosa
Oomph!
Rammstein oh wait everyone knows Rammstein nevermind
Subway to Sally
Tanzwut

COME ON SOMEONE HURRY AND MAKE THIS USEFUL

[Dr Strum]

I think the only non-classical German music I listen to is Donots.

[P.P.A.]

Forseti (at the top for good reason)
Triarii (likewise)
Faun
Art Abscons
Falkenstein
Atomtrakt
Darkwood
Von Thronstahl (very hit and miss—many songs are rather lame, but when they are good, they are really good)
And because Dutch is ИНФА 120% a dialect of German, and they often sing in High German:
Osewoudt
Strydwolf (only the more recent 2–3 albums, the older ones are bad)

Herbert Grönemeyer (the only mainstream artist on this list)
Jakob Bienenheim
