AUSTRIA 🇦🇹 Austro-Pop

Jaaa... die Ösis. The Aussies of Europe. Down Under from a German POV. Country shaped like a chicken wing. And guess what... they make music there.

Enjoy this little list of songs that are mostly about Vienna and being from Vienna and influenced by having been to Vienna once or twice, sung in a Viennese dialect... except when they're not.

I fear the only Austrian musician not from Wien is Andreas Gabalier. I joke... unless?

1. VIENNA CALLING - FALCO

Falco. The other Austrian that Americans might know.

2. BUSSI BABY - WANDA

This song is NOT about mpreg. You wish.

3. WIEN WORT AUF DI - GRENADA

Me when I'm German Billy Joel.

4. MASCHIN - BILDERBUCH

Perfect for a Indie-Pop jerk off sesh.

5. I AM FROM AUSTRIA - REINHARD FENDRICH

Debatable how proud Austrians should be... as a whole. Have some shame.

6. BA-BA BANKÜBERFALL - EAV

NDW rep.

7. HULAPALU - ANDREAS GABALIER

Ja, komm. Jaaaa... Ho di oh di oh di eh. Ja.

AustroTOP – Die 100 wichtigsten österreichischen Popsongs – The Gap

50 Jahre läutet Marianne Mendts »Glock’n« nun schon 24 Stunden am Tag. Circa 438.000 Stunden sind das hochgerechnet bis heute. Gefühlt genauso viele Songs sind seither in Österreich geschrieben und produziert worden. Österreichischer Pop hat viele Gesichter und Geschichten – welche davon sind die wichtigsten?

Years of blogging about the Austrian music scene prepared me for this: I was recently part of a jury consisting of The Gap journalists who, in the first lockdown weekend, voted on the 100 most important pop songs from Austria. And then I wrote about one fifth of them. It was so much fun, plus it got me through the first days of Corona Ausnahmezustand. Read it here if you’re interested!
