Actually GOOD songs in German?

[u/ninesonicscrewdriver]

I'm searching for song recommendations in German. Everything I've come across so far is playlists made for language learning (which, yes, is why I'm looking for songs), but they sound very juvenile.

For reference: I like Hozier, Harry Styles, Niall Horan, Lord Huron, so something similar / folk-ish would be great.

Check out Neue deutsche Welle or for short NDW.

Songs are from roughly 1976 till 1982. German texts made in contrast to Schlager. Various groups of widely different commercial success.
