AUSTROPOP - Everyone here in AUSTRIA anxious to be at least half-cool avoids any context between him or herself and the term AUSTROPOP.
So it's more than about time to pay homage to this disdained genre having such an impact on Austrians in our youth.
May I direct your attention to this personal randomize selection of AUSTROPOP-Songs from the 70teis to the 90ties.
As a starter here is a short clip showing Marianne Mendt, Andrè Heller and Wolfgang Ambros back in the early 70ties issuing a proclamation about the need of using viennese dialect in the local pop-culture that time, which was rather unusual thitherto.
Ambros with an early song
"Wie wird des weitergeh'n"
Ludwig Hirsch - " I lieg am Ruck'n"
Georg Danzer-Die Moritat vom Frauenmörder Wurm
Maria Bill - I mecht so gern landen
Hansi Lang - Josefine
Mordbuben AG
Chuzpe - Die guten Kräfte
Falco - Ganz Wien
EAV - Tanz Tanz Tanz
DÖF - Codo
Hubert von Goisern & Alpinkatzen
Wolfgang Ambros - Es lebe der Zentralfriedhof
Kottans Kapelle feat Johann K.
Drahdiwaberl - Die ausgeflippten Lodenfreaks
And because Drahdiwaberl rocks just another one featuring Biolek (and without fucking on stage as usual during this hymn)
One of my all time favourite Falco songs is
Wiener Blut
Also an Austropop - Classic
STS - Großvater
