1990s

Rammstein is undoubtedly the best German band of all time, by a streak, but that's an odd choice to me. Still, you could argue for it.

Amazing how all foreigners seem to love Rammstein.

Definitely the most recognised abroad especially in USA (my personal favourites are hands down Guano Apes, Die Fantastischen Vier, The Scorpions;

Because Rammstein combined heavy 90s riffs with industrial techno music with grotesque BDSM visual artistry.
Anyone who saw their music videos or has been to their concert will understand what I mean.

1997 - Guano Apes, Open Your Eyes

I actually liked that one.

Not in the UK, in my experience. I'd go for Kraftwerk.

The videos are brilliant -- I'm not a concert type -- but I don't think what I value in Rammstein is what many other foreigners do, especially if they don't know German. If I didn't understand the words, I probably wouldn't take much notice of them.

Interesting, I would never expect Kraftwerk to gain popularity in UK.

1996 - Heike Makatsch - Stand by your man (Maennerpension OST)
The cover is good. The film itself was good. Til Schweiger is good actor.

 

[Etaoin Shrdlu]

Don't know how popular Kraftwek is, but it's recognised. When I discovered Rammstein around 2012 or so, I thought I was very late to the party, but found that most people hadn't heard of them.

The name rang a slight bell, so I looked him up. The only thing I recognised was Der Bewegte Mann. I didn't expect much of a comic book -- or is it graphic novel? -- turned into a film, but it was actually funny.

He's pretty well known in Germany, but probably not outside (although he had some Hollywood roles as well).

It's a comic book.

Ralf König is brilliant, and Google tells me there are translations, but I don't know how well-known he is here.

 

[Adrian]

a bit harsh opinion.

I must check him out then


1995 - Die Fantastischen Vier - Sie Ist Weg

He drew a lot of gay comics (if not exclusively), but they're quite funny, especially in the context of the late 80s and the 90s. I read the comics "The killer condom" and "To the bones" (I think I bought them at an airport somewhere) and they are quite humorous.

I saw a short interview with him once. He was asked if he had never got into trouble for drawing too much nudity. He replied that people had tried that, but that they had no chance as long as keeps his characters' noses bigger than their penises.

Knocking on heaven's door (1997)

I actually enjoyed that movie.

Trois Couleurs: Bleu / Three Colors: Blue (1993)

À mon avis, ce film est l'un des meilleurs films européens des années 90.

Believe it or not, I saw that in the GFT way back. I had a friend who was going through a cultural phase at the time, and he dragged me along. I was bored so ......... I didn't need to crap for a month.
