The people who think this correspond to those in the U.S. who listen exclusively to phony "Country" Music. Every nation has its share of those, but anybody over here with a bit of taste hates Hasselhoff as a Musician (and as an actor I might say). Same goes for "Modern Talking" (aaaarrrrgggghhhh), and most of the "successful exports" such as The Scorpions. Urgh. The real all-time top acts over here are Die Toten Hosen, Die �rzte, and Herbert Gr�nemeyer, all eminently listenable. For some decent newer stuff check out Wir Sind Helden. For raw musical power (though questionable lyrics) try the old Ton Steine Scherben stuff, and for a taste of GDR "East Rock", try "City". Stonk! -- Linards Ticmanis

They got 2 mentions by Fred on Micro Live, what more could they expect, damned foreigners.. -- Blast off and strike the evil Bydo empire! http://youtube.com/user/tarcus69 http://www.flickr.com/photos/tarcus/sets/

I know, it's terrible! Richard Branson invites us over for the weekend and sends a plane around to pick us up, which is fine, but then we run into all those people and it's off to the races again...
