No, not from what I've heard, unless you really, really love Kraftwert. Metronome Jones might want to chime in at this point.
While spending a week in Austria/Germany I've learned two things:
1. Germans really love bad American songs like techno versions of "Hey Baby, will you be my girl?" which supports point 2.
2. They can't get enough techno (I think it fits their mechanistic lifestyles)
Just because the music isn't good doesn't mean they don't like to party. They party harder because their music is so awful, and it leads to poor dancing. And in Austria when you party with your friends it involves skiing into the outdoor bar and then having to ski down a mountain plastered. (see picture below, excuse the blurriness)
Songs for your ears (I won't describe any because I can't understand what they're saying):
Olaf Henning - Cowboy und Indianer.
Grauzone - Eisbar
Roland Kaiser - Joana (search for a techno version)
Steinwolke - Katharine Katharine (one of the best 80's songs I've ever heard)
That might be enough. That was really German wasn't it.
In the alternative, there is some good Rap that comes out of Germany. McGroto informs me one possible reason is Deutsche is overwhelming with mad rhymes.
2 artists of note:
Die Fantasischen Vier
Fettes Brot

Hello. This post is likeable, and your blog is very interesting, congratulations :-). I will add in my blogroll =). If possible gives a last there on my blog, it is about the Estabilizador e Nobreak, I hope you enjoy. The address is http://estabilizador-e-nobreak.blogspot.com. A hug.
You sure have an interesting view of Germany here...but anyway Austria is not quite Germany itself and apparently you got into the hardcore scene of "Après-Ski"-music which is like the worst type of music you'll be able to hear and VERY common down there... As to why "Germans" listen to "great" American songs...weeeeeeeeell we usually do not understand what the singer is singing or we don't care cause it's not our mother tongue...not as if most of you guys would be able to understand our lyrics :D...
But still, your blog is very amusing.
