Sorry, Uwe, never heard of Billy Mo. And John Kay's hits were in English.
I knew of Gus Backus because he had a couple of country releases in English in the early 60s. And he was already known as a member of the original Del Vikings.

I'm going to fire all of my guns at once this Saturday at the American Legion in Bedford MA. Lots of bikers at the show and you better believe Born to be Wild is on the set list. A good chance to use the Sunn and the EB1!

With all due respect to the often great SAHB, but their take is too slow and Ted McKenna doesn't groove one bit on it. This is how it's done (Grabber content):
Of course, for all you Yanks, Dr Feelgood (except for a Mötley Crüe album and song title) means nothing to you, but the HBO series buffs among you may have a faint recollection of the young telecaster wielder in the vid.

Who said something against Kraftwerk? They are the Chuck Berries of electronica.
This haunting piece is a classic too.

I can't imagine Kraftwerk sung in any other language except Japanese. The remix
NEU! Was probably my all time favorite Kruartrock band, because they used guitar bass and drums.
Also let's not forget about Ashra which gave us Trance
German rock has influenced so much of modern music

OK then, I'll admit that I would like to see them if they are in the neighborhood.
Nobody has mentioned BAP yet, this is IMHO one of the greatest German songs ever. Atmosphere, lyrics, great buildup, this one has it all.

I thought the height of German opera was the Bugs version of the "Ring"....
Or there's the 2.5 minute rundown on Wagner's Ring...
