Tokio Hotel

For the uninitiated, otherwise known as the blessed, Tokio Hotel are a terrifically awful German teen angsty emo band that apparently are trying to conquer the world.

I say this because currently they are a trending topic on Twitter -- I suppose this is in connection with promotion for their newest album, Humanoid, released recently.

The prospect that the entire world is duped into believing that the the extent of German music is Rammstein and the Tokio Twerps causes me great concern.

For the record, then, there is a lot more that German Language music has to offer. Point your browser at one of the following which should be enough to convince you:

Silbermond

Wir Sind Helden

Xavier Naidoo

Still not convinced? OK, OK, here's a classic:

Nena - 99 Luftballons

The most happy song in the world? Probably...
