Das Radio

I have always been a huge fan of music, really all music! This is a good thing, because here in Deutschland the radio stations play a variety of music! It's not you American variety "Now playing hits from the 90's and Today," or your typical "80's Lunch Hour." No, in Germany radio is more of a smorgasbord.

This morning has I got "Jiggy With It," (thank you Will Smith for this timeless piece) I thought it is time to share my love of German radio with the world! Yes, German radio has to all. However, as much as this will disappoint most American's I have yet to hear anything by David Hasselhoff (The Hoff).

Here you can tune in (my favorite is Energy 100.7)to any channel and during any one hour hear Adele, Pink, Linkin Park, Snoop Dog (old school), Time Bendzko (German artist), Elton John, Richard Marx, and Survivor. My personal favorite is the daily parade of Phil Collins hits, who knew the man had so many! There is also the collection of I can't believe they still play that song; Hangin Tough, Blame it on the Rain, and I'm too Sexy.

For an American it almost feels like a daily "This is your life" compellation. Start your morning with a little Boss (Bruce Springsteen, for the younger generation), Wham, and John Mellencamp. Then while cooking you can mix it up with a little bit of Pat Benatar, Phil Collins, and quickly moving into Sarah McLachlan, N' Sync, Maroon 5, Train, and the ever random rap artist (I am out of touch here). And by the evening you have heard a song from just about every year since 1985.

Music is truly an international language that reaches to the far ends of the earth. Music last a life time and affects some people differently. In the case of German radio music is timeless, and enjoyed by generations to come! So if your online (listen on the web) or over sea's and looking for a new experience tune in.

Btw: I also love a couple stations out of the UK, and Australia so if you have some free time check them out!
