Silbermond suck^^... only these two songs are alright but like the first single was sooo shitty!! Juli are alright though. And Marr arent bad (they were the upliner of the Vines over here).

I only listen to
Tocotronic (mhm, Ben Kweller likes them *sigh*, what a man),
Olli Schulz,
die Beginner,
sportfreunde stiller sometimes (got 'die gute seite')
die sterne are really good (no album though)
Virginia Jetzt are ok (as far as i know)
Angelika Express

I only know the singles but I like MIA.
And Mediengruppe Telekommander. Oh, and of course

WINSON

VNV Nation
Einsturde Neubauten
Faust

-Die artze
-Winson
-Fehlfarben

i dont know many german bands. the singer of winson has a motherfuckin hot as hell voice.

IS The Rasmus from German or Finland or other? (Sorry, I dont know much )

Finland...i think. but definitely not from Germany.

Beatsteaks are the best. if somebody doesn´t know em...check them out! they´re awesome.

some other german bands:
Slut
Anajo
Tele
Delbo
Crash Tokio
Astra Kid
Poolparty
Stakeout
Zweiraumwohnung

hmm...that´s all for the moment...I´ll think about it.

MIA? Ok they're sympatic, but their music is too... synthie Zweiraumwohnung the same.
oh and we forgot Superpunk
Rosenstolz? I don't like them. Too boring.
Böhse Onkelz? Finally they break up, yeah!!!!
Nena. She's here again. But I prefer the original songs from the 80s.
Die Prinzen. I really like them. Or some songs...

EDIT: oh and Fools Garden und the Scorpions

I like Mia. I wanted to see them last week, but it didn´t work out.

yeah...I thought about those bands too. but I thought they weren´t worth mentioning. especially Böhse Onkelz gahhh...
but Superpunk is nice.

Edit:
Blackmail (how could I forget them? )
The Robot Kraus
Tigerbeat
One Man And His Droit

btw. I loved the opening show of Marr in the so 36. it was just great, besides that one guy in the crowd, who talked nothing but shit the whole time bout them.

Front 242
Kraftwerk
.....I will have more when I get home. (from little washu)

Front 242 is a belgium band.

i think these are german:

-Die Fantastischen Vier
-X Mal Deutschland
-KMFDM
-Modern Talking (You can win if you want)
-Fehlfarben (Neue Welle)
-Guano Apes

and some singers

-Nina Hagen
-Nena (99 luftballons)
-Udo Lindenberg
-Herbert Grönemeyer

winson is a singer/songwriter. yeah, winson is cool... mhm

anyone knows KANTE? I only know 2 songs which i adore!!
The Notwist


whaaaa... modern talking .... *runs around screaming*

sorry. was needed.

Swosh aren´t that bad either. I like their new one "Set Myself Free"

i still dont know them. I really want to though because i always read "The German Muse" and im like 'mhm, anything with muse is good' lol, no really... their cd-cover looks so lostprophets-ish

I never saw a pic/ cover or anything like that of them but I like some of their songs somehow.

btw. we forgot 4 Lyn. they´re quite nice.

THE NOTWIST ARE GERMAN?!

didnt know that..ok..

-the Notwist.

yeah the notwist are german... from bavaria.

4lyn, i only know one song but that seemed nice. the singer looks a bit like ville valo-style though, thats not good

I got into 4 Lyn through one of my friends, he saw them 6 times live this year.


who said that they were the german muse?
ther´re good, no doubt...but so good like muse?! I don´t think so.

yeah, no one is as good as muse
i only know rammstein and kraftwerk

We forgot another band. The Guano Apes. Maybe I forgot them because they've broken up.

they didnt say they were as good as Muse but sounded like them.

Do you like Guano Apes? I dunno, they re pretty teenyish, not as bad as Silbermond though. I mean you cant compare them ^^

I don't know them really, but my brother listens to them all the time so I hear them sometimes and I like some songs.

What's about bands like Ton Steine Scherben (Rio Reiser's band), CAN or Neu! ? Someone knows them?

lol, i do ^^.

I just wondered... I think the Mooney Suzuki got their name from CAN

I don´t like the apes, I never did. so it doesnt bother me that they´re breaking up after their tour.

another one: do you know Pelzig? they´re allright.
what a great name. imagine them standing on stage like:"hello we are Pelzig" . hilarious

haha. ^^
No, I dont know Pelzig.

I really like die Raketen. 'So fuckin yeah' is so cool as are all their other singles - i still havent got their album

yeah...me too. but it´s the only song I know. *shame on me*

ive heard about pelzig but i dont know a song. do you know "die stars"? i only know some songs but these are good! and i like "eiszeitclub" (cool name btw), maybe you remember them as "peppy jones"

i dont know them what is their music like?

die stars or eiszeitclub?
its both hard to describe, sounds pretty... indie
my cousin worked for die stars some months ago thats why i know them

also:

> Faahkaan Vaahnkez (melodic indie-pop)
> Urahtoz Zer (Rammstein-esque)

? are you kiddin?

Er..no, why?

me? ich mean, i dont really know them, i just know theier music. my cousin is... well... tonmensch halt

Well, to sum it up - which bands have I to look out for in '05?

definitely:
Beatsteaks (awesome band, great singer, and english lyrics , check them out)
4 Lyn
Slut
Die Ärtze
Die Toten Hosen
Winson

the "most important ones" in my eyes

die ärzte? really?
i would add the donots, wir sind helden (they make theier 2nd album) and sportfreunde stiller

Die Ärzte are important, Im just no fan of them... i dont know, everyone listens to them.

But Im getting into the Beatsteaks, they rock

you gotta look out for

TOCOTRONIC!!!

tocotronic, right. i got one song from theier new album, "mein prinz". typical tocotronic song but ok.
and i think its nothing wrong to be ot a fan of die ärzte. sometimes i hate them. and then i love them. crazy.

yeah i know what you mean.
I sometimes listen to lets say 'schrei nach liebe' and i think its sooo good, other times they really really drive me crazy.

I wouldn´t say that I´m a fan of Die Ärzte. but they are one of the biggest bands over here, and songs like Schrei nach Liebe, or 1/2 Lovesong are amazing. on the other hand Monsterparty and stuff like that drives me mental as well sometimes.

oh...and I´d recommend you to check the band Mia. out.

sometimes i like funny songs from die ärzte too. "buddy hollys brille" and of couse "zu spät" are very good, also some more serious songs like you said and "mysteryland" or "rebell". but there are always songs on the albums that really suck. especially farin urlaub writes them. i cant stand some of his songs. and when he writes a lovesong and you asks him about that, he says, "yeah of course i know such feelings but i did this song just for fun and i just thought it was time for a lovesong and bla bla bla" this really annoys me because then i think that he isnt honest in this song.

i know what you mean... i dont really like him much though he sometimes says some pretty cool stuff. I guess ill never really can decide about them.

Yeah, Mia. is nice... but i just heard Kante again on the radio and thought it was soo cool and beautiful.

I saw Winson last week in a small one night festival in a little town called Olpe, they were great. I didn't know they we're that popular... popular enough to appear on a Vines forum, I mean. I also like Slut, Mia., Schrottgrenze, Kante and Beatsteaks.

Oh, thanks. Actually these are the bands I'm paying attention to anyway. Except maybe 4 Lyn - they are really good? I don't know much about them. (And I do actually live in Germany - - - - as I'm German BTW ) What you say about Mia & Wir sind Helden, I don't like them that much - they are good yes, but - I don't know, I'm missing sth. 'bout them.

they re nice good bands i think, but im not going to be a big fan of them. I almost bough the WSH-album but didnt in the end.

Ive frogtten to ask you about Olli Schulz und der Hund Marie

Does anyone know Beatsteaks?

yeah sure we do, they re fuckin great (my point of view)

@Headless_Nic: what a freakin great nickname

Oh yeah, Beatsteaks are grand!! -> I'm so proud to be a "Berliner", for - by now more than 6 month - because of this band.... ;o)

Who is Olli Schulz & Hund Marie?

@Headless_Nic: what a freakin great nickname

[/quote]

Do you think?? Thx

yeah 4 Lyn are more than that. Neon is a great record.
you´re from Berlin?

Mia. are really nice. especially live. but I don´t like WSH that much.
