Practically Impossible German Music Challenge

[jakarta]

Can? Neu? Faust? Tangerine Dream? None of them sound like Oasis, mind. That's largely exhausted my krautrock knowledge.

It doesn't help the OP but can I just say that You Sir, have impeccable musical taste when it comes to Krautrock!

 

[Bry Nylon]

Stasi on 45 ?

 

[Miximate]

Raus Trap - Boomtown Rats

 

[Pavilionaire]

Fuch Der Polizei by RummeNiggez With Attitude?

 

[HovaGirl]

Kraftwerk?

Swot I thought.

 

[SouthCoastOwl]

How about Cologne's very own BAP?

[Hotchilidog]

Guano Apes?

 

[The Fifth Column]

Lady JaJa?

These...and most definitely this...

Amon Düül II ?

If the question was 'What are the best Krautrock bands?'


Amon Duul ii may be your answer OP - they've had many styles and line ups spanning the decades.

 

[Herr Tubthumper]

Def Leppard - Rock of Saus-Ages?

Cheers mate - will try and crack through as much of their stuff as possible while at work today.

 

[Herr Tubthumper]

Nazi Z Top?

Die Totenhosen?

Yeah someone else I know suggested them so I went through their entire back catalogue. Close but no cigar.

This is unbearable.

Hmm, I was about to suggest Die Totenhosen. I did a German exchange once, and the guy I stayed with was obsessed by them.

I'm going back through them now - partly because they sounded so close & partly cause I liked them.

Me too ! How about Die Krupps ?

 

[Smirko]

I wonder if Charlie VATTS IST YOUR NAME is the drummer?

Genius sir!

 

[Herr Tubthumper]

Are your going to Peter Broetzmann, who this thread's title might have been devised for?

Hello mate. It's on my radar for sure. I'm going away the next day so not sure how the evening will pan out. I will let you know though.

 

[Vegas Seagull]

Something like:

"Himmminon bitte
Himmminon bitte
A simminon mitte
anja boisin FITTER"

Thanks for all the suggestions. Closest so far is probably Bonfire, but I don't think it's them.

It's definitely not Heino, but he seems like a decent sort. Looks like a Gerry Anderson puppet of Andy Warhol.

It's not German at all, it's a WSU chant :

Harvey's Bitter
Harvey's Bitter
A sip of bitter
Makes us Fitter

Brown Girl in Goering

Belsen Sebastien ?
