Deutscher Poll

Sorry Olaf, I am abstaining from voting cos I can't decide. They all seem to put some effort into what is after all a marketing exercise, and they all sound good. I had no idea the Man in Black was also Die Mann in Schwarz.

I would go for the Beatles, purely cos of their pre-fame links to Germany, but I think the other 70s/80s stuff suits German vocals more.

But they should all try harder. Robyn Hitchcock has done stuff in German, and also Swedish.

Sounds like he used Google Translate, but I like it.

No problem. According to the extremely humourless but very efficient Deutscher Poll rules, your vote will go to Phil Collins.

I mean, duh (Visage a close second).

Actually Martin Gore was a late add-on to the list, as I had almost forgotten about that song. But it's a great cover, glad to see it's getting some love.

Me too. He has a strong love for Germany and Berlin in particular.
