Here is a list of some of my favourite bands. It is not complete at all, but perhps you can get an impression.
A nice feature: my charts

 

KLEE
A very nice band from cologne. I'm in love with them... momentarily I could listen to their music all day. Soon I'm gonna see them live for the 5th time ;-)
a nice forum: forum.kleewiese.de
The Dresden Dolls
Hard to describe their kind of music... something between 1920 cabaret style and punk. Found out about them not so long ago and I was lucky to visit a concert in March 2005. Very great!
Moloko
They are one of my classics. After i heard "time is now" in 2000 I wanted to check out the rest of their songs. At first I thought "wow, whats goin' on?" but then I bacame a Trip-Hop and especially Moloko fan...
Wir sind Helden
already saw them live when they were only playing in front of about 150 people... very excellent!
Franz Ferdinand
Bloc Party
Laub
That's really weird! If you wanna make people run away you should play this ;-)
But check it out, it's really cool.
Mando Diao
The Killers
Angelika Express
A really good german punk-rock-pop (or whatever) band
Kosheen
Placebo
Planetakis
This is the solo project of Robert Drakogiannakis, the singer of Angelika Express. Some really cool electro-punk-pop.
