20. RAMMSTEIN
(Herzeleid, 1995)
Wollt Ihr Das Bett In Flammen Sehen? may have been the first song on Herzeleid, but Rammstein is the first song the band ever wrote. Based on the Ramstein air show disaster from which they take their name, it’s suitably moody, sinister and bass-heavy – it’s a perfect encapsulation of the band’s influences, from White Zombie to Depeche Mode. And no, it doesn’t matter that it’s the second song on the album to feature a hook simply bearing the word ‘Rammstein’. It sounds ace.
19. PUPPE
(Rammstein, 2019)
Till Lindemann suffers for his art. He’s what your aunt would call ‘a character’. This is the man who drilled an actual hole in his cheek to achieve that illuminated mouth effect in music video, yet is Till pushing further than he’s ever gone before. Backed just by crashing cymbals through the first chorus, he screams, and it is utterly unhinged. Primal. Sure, he did’s but nothing like this. It’s bloody raw, and marks the tipping point in Rammstein’s seventh album: the first five tracks were just non-stop bangers, then turns up to the party, unplugs the sound-system and starts weeping. Actually nightmarish.
