No guys the "Big In Japan" song is from "Alphaville". Great hit back on eighties and hit till now. I have the first 7'' vinil record they made on 80s. Collector <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" />
Falco was also very famous for the song Der Komissar back on 80's.
Nena made a translation to 99 red baloons back then. She was very popular.
@Al
I don't have a link. We were talking with my boyfriend but I can write the list here. I hope that it is ok with everybody else. If not pm me and I will edit my post. So here it goes.
*Great German Groups that we listen to in Greece (And they are hits trust me)*
Group and the most popular song :
- L'aime Immortelle - Life will never be the same
- Einstuerzende NoiBauten - Feurio (Two live perf. here)
- Wolfsheim - ALL THEIR RECORDS (Most popular "Once in a lifetime" We will see them live on May 9th on Elfendanz (SP?) Festival)
- Diary of Dreams - ALL THEIR RECORDS (Most popular "June" Two live performances here)
- And One - ALL THEIR RECORDS (one live per. here)
- Lights Of Euphoria - True Life
- De/Vision - ALL THEIR RECORDS
- Wumpscut - Thorns, Angel
- Rammstein - ALL THEIR RECORDS (At the moment very popular Du Hast and Strip)
- Camouflage - The Great commadment (An 80's super hit. We listen to it till now) (One live per. here)
- Kraftwerk - The Model (An 80's super hit. We listen to it till now)
- Das Ich - ALL THEIR RECORDS
- City - Can not write the name of the song. It was a great hit back in 79 and all 80's
- Nina Hagen - She does not need any intro. She is the best lady. New York is my fav. (Btw if someone from Germany can find me the cd that has that song I pay a lot of money seriously). (One live perf. on the First Rock in Athens. I was fourteen. She was a goddess)
- Funker Vogt - ALL THEIR RECORDS
- The Eternal Aflict - Von Der Amut
- The Merry Thoughts (That is nice gothic <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />) Pale Empress
- Toy - Welcome to space radio
This is all I can think up till now. It is a small amount of German Groups that I personally love. And they are very popular here. There are many more that I am not familiar yet or I forget them. I have told in the lyrics thread that Germans have music diamonds lying beside them <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
EDIT : I forgot STOA. Greek Goths just kill for their cds. Very rare. This is music that you will really like Al. Check Stoa - Porta VIII album and STOA - Urthona album. You will like them. Trust me on this.
