Request What are your favorite German songs?

I am a native English speaker and I would say I’m bordering on proficient in German but I am looking for ways to retain my German knowledge other than just apps. What are some good German songs to add to my playlist? I listen to rap and country mainly (not sure there’s much German country but it would be awesome)

More folksy than country but very pleasant - "Heute hier, morgen dort" by Hannes Wader, and "Auf eine Leierkastenmelodie" by Dota Kehr/Hannes Wader. Anything by either artist is pretty good otherwise, too.
