I think that's my favourite Jam song. Or When You're Young. Or about 100 of them. What a great band.

Weller is a legend.

I'll split it up in sections: German lyrics, English lyrics, "other".

German:

Subway to Sally - Sieben (live & acoustic) A German band playing what has been characterised as "folkmetal", but really is more like gothfolkmetalmedievalmix. Yes. Nobody here have heard of them, I take it? My fave band.

Subway to Sally - Where is Lucky? this one's in English, and a lot more folkrockish. No, it's not the same lead singer, it's hard to sing and play the bagpipes at the same time.

Wolfsheim - Kein Zurück The lyrics are just fabulous. The voice is amazing. Synthpop.

Letzte Instanz - Rapunzel (live). Folkmetal, crossover, with cello and violin. They have a new singer now. Watch the violinist as he jumps about! Great song to headbang and mosh to.

Die Ärzte - Schrei nach Liebe Nazis are only nazis because their mums and dads didn't love them enough, their combat boots really yearn for some tenderness.

Rammstein - Ich will Cool vid 8)

In Extremo - Vollmond My "gateway drug" into the obscure world of "medieval metal". (Bonus: Villemann og Magnhild (A Norwegian folk song. Micha's Norwegian isn't too good.)

Konstantin Wecker - Weiterhin verwundbar German singer/songwriter. I know... not many people my age like him, but he really is a force of nature.

E Nomine - Wolfen (Das Tier in mir) Uhm. Darktechno with vampire tendencies? Silly lyrics and video, really, but oh so catchy!

Paul van Dyk and Peter Heppner - Wir sind wir Great video, summing up the German post-war history. The singer of WOlfsheim and the world #1 DJ. Live with full orchestra.

English:

The Pogues - A rainy night in Soho Changed it to "Rainy Night" instead... Shane MacGowan is a wonderful lyricist and singer.

The Pogues - Streams of whiskey More typical Pogues. Weeeeeeird video, including Shane and Jem Finer nearly starkers.

The Levellers - One way More folkrockpunkish. There's only one way of life, and that's your own!

Wolfsheim - The sparrows and the nightingales Kitchily cute eighties video. The voice...! Synthpop.

The Waterboys - Fisherman's blues (live 1986) From their folky period. The audience is just lame :/

Skyclad - Building a ruin (live) (with Martin Walkyier). Wish I had seen them live back with Martin... More folkmetal.

Coppelius - I get used to it Chamber metal on clarinets, cello and double bass, in 18th century costume style. The vocals take some getting used to, took me a couple of years, but these guys are really absolutely great live! Not their best song, but Youtube offers little.

Crüxshadows - Winterborn I prefer one of the remixes, but still. Folktechno?! Dunno.

Schiller feat Peter Heppner - Leben... I feel you The singer of Wolfsheim. Beautiful video, filed at Rügen in the north of Germany.

Deine Lakaien - Into my arms German EBM.

Chumbawamba - Tubthumping Ok, this song is a tad overplayed, but Youtube... Chumbawamba is so much more!

Fiddler's Green - Tarry trousers (live) From their 1000th concert. "Irish speedfolk" they label themselves. (You can actually see me in this video. Providing you know what I look like *fg*)

Bryan Adams - Summer of '69 I wasn't even born, but still!

Chris Isaak - Wicked game No comment! *grins*

New Model Army - 51st state Still relevant...

R.E.M. - Radio Free Europe Their first telly appearance on David Letterman 1983. Stipe with hair *gg*

Other:

Imperiet - Fred (live 1985) Swedish progrock. The amazing lyrics were written by Mikael Wiehe;

Wiehe & Björn Afzelius - Det räcker nu! (live 1985) (the eighties! yaaaay for "da looks")

Apocalyptica- Path Cello metal can be done. This is an amazing song and a very good video.

Ebba Grön - Staten och kapitalet Swedish punkrock just ROCKS.

Lumsk - Allvis Norwegian viking / folk metal, but of the quiet and relaxing kind.

Lumsk - Trolltind Fairytale-style lyrics and great violin playing!

Gåte - Sjå attende Norwegian folk crossover. I love the fiddle parts! Too bad they are no more, the concerts were fun!

Manau - La tribu de Dana I hate not understanding the lyrics. Hate it. Crossover rap and folk.

Die Höhner - Viva Colonia Op Kölsch. Da simma dabei, dat is prima! Kölle alaaf! It is after all Karneval season! (Sadly I couldn't find a vid for "Superjeile Zick" by Brings.)

Pohjannaula - Ei ole tapana Finnish folkrock. No idea what it's about, but the fire juggling is cool!

Just thought I'd say that I have updated my first post with quite a few videos. Man, youtube is seriously addictive. So much music, so little time
