This article somehow forgot to mention their influence in the most commercially successful German rock band of all times: Rammstein, which made a cover of their song Das Modell.

Edit: As pointed out the english-singing rock band Scorpions from Germany is far more popular.

Scorpions are far more successful by an order of magnitude.

Oh didn't know they were German, due singing in English I always assumed they were... English.

> didn't know they were German

Drummer Herman Rarebell's solo album "Herman Ze German" was a good clue :-)

> most commercially successful German rock band of all times: Rammstein

s/German/German-singing and you might have a point.

-I think it is hard to rank bands like this, but surely Einstürzende Neubauten could give Rammstein a run for their money?

(Or is Rammstein a much bigger and the Neubauten a much less significant act than I think? ;))

Have a look at what it takes to physically set up a Rammstein show, and I think the answer will be clear.
