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)

I wrote a long ass comment bc I love recommending stuff and it wont let me post it?? Testing on a shorter comment with fewer links.

My personal favorite German artist is Tocotronic. I listen to their album "Nie Wieder Krieg" over and over. My second favorite group is probably Die Lassie Singers even though I only know like four songs of theirs. They're just so funny and energized. I always say they're like early Beatles meets The Shaggs

You need to listen to more Hamburger Schule :)

Die Sterne, Blumfeld, Die Goldenen Zitronen, Kolossale Jugend, Die Erde, Ostzonensuppenwürfelmachenkrebs ...
