German songs I like

I love songs from Marianne Rosenberg, Andy Borg, Nena, and many others. But I confess that my tastes are well within the Maria & Margot Hellwig, Gitte, Heino, classic traditional German folk music and yodeling.

ABBA and Agnetha also recorded songs in German.

I also love a great deal of the songs from Holland (Netherlands) like Ciska Peters, Imca Marina, Bonnie St. Claire, and many others.

Andy Borg? :omg:
Heino? :omg:

Well...Are you from Germany or why do you know 'em?
 
I'm of some German descent, but never been there. I grew up with that music as we travelled around the USA. I just had an affinity for foreign and cultural music, ethnic music and languages. I love that stuff!
 
I'm half German; my mother is originally from Nuremberg. She came to Australia with her parents in 1960.

I would to go there one day; it looks like such a beautiful city. I don't know any German songs but I like the German version of David Bowie's Heroes.
 
I first heard that version in an excellent German film called Christiane F. (Wir Kinder vom Bahnhof Zoo)
 
I've never seen it, but I love David Bowie and I have the English, German and French versions of that song! They're in decent sound quality. The French one being a little more rare it's a bit less clear than the other two.

I hadn't seen 'Labyrinth' until like 2003 and it just confirmed my affection for David Bowie. I love soundtracks and Labyrinth is just awesome!
 
Alright, so we have some people here with a certain relatedness to Germany, that's good to know.

Dr. Hasslein, do you partially understand German?

If you're planning to go to Nuremberg one day, I recommend going there in November/December and visiting the Nuremberg Christmas market (Nürnberger Christkindlesmarkt).

I spent three years in Germany (Spangdahlem) when I was younger. Beautiful country.

I know very little German, just a few phrases.

Those photos are beautiful. I have some old photos of that very same part of the city from when my Mum went back there for vacation.
