Nina Hagen

Underrated. The queen of mockery in rock and a master of a musical Burlesque cloaked in a strong theatricality masterfully fused with rock, punk, and a touch of electronics. A rough and unique voice. Even Madonna and Cindy Lauper have admitted to being inspired by her in terms of look and musical-crazy attitude. The self-titled debut and "NunSexMonkRock" are her best albums. But "Unbehagen" and "Angstlos / Fearless" are also of very high quality. Noteworthy is also the latest work published so far, "Volksbeat."
