Rap exactly ain't my thing, but if you wanna get a glimpse of what is listened to (aka if you're not disgusted by mainstream bullshit, cause you just wanna learn German) go listen to "Bushido" or "Sido". I recommend the latter, don't rly like both tho. Rock is problematic, cause we had one great band which seems to be afk since quite a long time, all the members doing solo projects or just spending the money they made. Beautiful and hilarious songwriting, extremely catchy, you might strongly identify with the lyrics if you are under 20. I'm talking about "Die Ärzte" of course (don't miss the 2 dots on top of the A, if you don't have them on your keyboard, copy it from here). You can rly listen to anything by them. Hope that helped. | ||

I'm also a student of German, and I'd recommend Blumfeld as a good band for listening experience. They generally speak pretty clearly and the lyrics are more interesting than "DU. DU HAST... etc" | ||

Die Ärzte (german) Die Akokalyptischen Reiter (german and english songs) Knorkator (german) Falco (english and german) Ton, Steine, Scherben (german) In Extremo (german, english, latin, old high german) Should be enough for a good time  | ||

not really music, but I thought that this would help more than how to say "suck my dick" in german. if it needs to be music, try this: or this: http://www.myvideo.de/watch/5459868/Karaoke_Mia_Tanz_der_Molekuele I am also suprised that the saddest song that was ever produced hasn't been linked in this thread: I am not sure if music really is helpful. In my opinion german only works somewhat good in music, but most of the time you have to sing text in a totally different way. This is one of the reasons why most lyrics are so awful. I would recommend literatur, but of course the really interesting stuff is also very difficult. | ||

This thread looks to be the opposite of exemplary to me tbh, but maybe it's just me. | ||

You certainly didn't understand the meaning. The singer isn't even german, by the way, he's iranian iirc. And One like provocation, but they're certainly not a nazi band. Do some research. | ||

"Viele Texte der Band lassen breiten Spielraum zur Interpretation. Im umstrittenen Lied Steine sind Steine ist die Aussage „Deutscher, sei stolz“ enthalten. Ob darin ein Aufruf zum Patriotismus beinhaltet ist oder nicht, ist Gegenstand kontroverser Diskussionen. In dem Song heißt es unter anderem auch „erst kommt Stolz, dann kommt dein Land“. Der Sänger der Band hat sich dazu im offiziellen Fan-Forum geäußert, vertritt aber auch die grundsätzliche Haltung, seine Texte nicht selbst zu erklären. Hinter dem Lied stehe die „Wut auf alles, was den deutschen die Freude am Nationalstolz nehmen will“ sowie die Einstellung, dass jeder Mensch stolz auf sich selbst sein solle." | ||

I've been listening to And One for years, I've seen them live several times. Trust me, they are very, very far from being nazi or even right-wing oriented (just as I am - so don't worry, I'm not voting NPD). Their fanbase is overwhelmingly politically neutral or left-ish (industrial/gothic scene). There are so many interviews with Steve (the singer) were he's asked about the more controversial songs and he's either bothered by the thousandth time he's questioned about his political orientation, or he just laughs at it. There's another side to national pride than just skinheads and nazis, please realize that - and that's just what that song plays with. You say it's "clearly" not to provocate; I ask you where you take the certainty from to say it's "clear". It's not. Feel free to visit And One at one of their live shows, have a chat with Steve (I did) and you'll see that your interpretation is wrong. | ||

And One apparently played at an MTV event called "Stimmen gegen Rechts" (Voices against the Far/radical-right). (source) Say what you will, this discussion doesn't belong here and obviously at least MTV does not agree with you. Also, this is an international forum with rules establishing english as the official language and if you must post something in another language then it is asked to at least also translate it. | ||

Yes okay, they are not a Naziband, but you have to agree that "Steine sind Steine" doesn't sound like that. And my german statement was a quote, I had no time to translate it. Sorry. | ||
