Oh dear: not a clue how I pulled that one out - I rarely watched it but have seen it on the odd channels , Forces TV I think, or some such.
Rammstein are the only one with their roots in East Germany - all the others are West German bands ?
Alas that's because I'm unaware of any other "East" German bands.
Cheers Fez - the East Germans (of a certain age group) all had Russian at school. The lack of English teachers there meant that Russian was still being taught up to 10 years after the reunification. So it may be that Rammstein simply don't feel confident in English.
You're on the right track with the music but there is a much more solid connection - to do with a voice.
All yours Frenchie. The singer of the folk rock band Trees, Celia Humphris became the ''voice'' of british rail and the London underground roughly 20 years later. Trees were active from about 1970 to 1973 in a similar style to the earlier Fairport Convention. She later became Celia Ford Drummond (married to Pete Drummond) and was known to millions as the voice behind ''Mind the gap'' and ''Please disembark here'', the train stops at.......... and so on. So she was a singer who was known by millions but not in the way she originally intended. Unfortunately she died of Covid 19 in France two years ago. Not quite in the class of Sandy Denny but a great singer nonetheless.One of the singers was a station announcer at one time
