What is some music you like?

Here‘s two German songs for you.

 

Yeah, Germans post-WWII have been uniquely lacking in musical competence.

There have been some great visual artists, like Gerhard Richter and Anselm Kiefer. But I actually think this may relate to "German guilt" and an aversion to the Dionysian - loss of self, ecstasy, dance, and music - elements defiled by the Nazis, perhaps beyond repair.

The Apollonian - order, rationality, sobriety, visual art, and sculpture - seems to have remained intact.

Quote

'What power was it that liberated Prometheus from his vultures and transformed myth into a vessel of Dionysian wisdom? It was the Herculean power of music. Music, reaching its zenith in tragedy, gave myth a new, profound significance - a capacity we have already described as music's greatest power." - Friedrich Nietzsche, The Birth of Tragedy

Kraftwerk - the greatest German musical export post-WWII - single-handedly helped revive the Dionysian spirit through techno clubs and underground raves.

Ironically, though, this revival occurred precisely on the fringes of German society, for its outsiders, with a fanatical insistence on individuality and a distinctly anti-fascist aesthetic.
