I certainly hope these guys get in, I have followed them since they made it big in America. And they always have one of the best concerts to ever attend. Sad that they probably won't but if you look at any of their videos other than du hast each one is amazing.

I know this conversation is old, but Rammstein is miles better than Scorpions. Du Hast is better than Scorpion's entire discography. Whenever someone mentions Germany and music, Rammstein instantly pops up in my mind.

Spotify: Most Streamed Albums of 2001

10. RAMMSTEIN – MUTTER

Mutter, Mother in English, is the 3rd studio album from German Industrial/Hard rock masters Rammstein.

Released in April 2001 it found instant success in continental Europe, hitting #1 in Austria, Germany & Switzerland and going top 10 in Sweden #2, Holland #4, Belgium #7, Finland #7, Spain #9, as well as in Australia #10.

It didn’t fare quite as well though, in either the UK #86 or the US #77.

The album has seen an unprecedented 6 singles released form it, by far the most of any Rammstein album to date. Lead single Sonne, was a German #2 and a top 10 in Austria #5 & Finland #9. It stands on 80 million streams to date.

Next up was Links 2 3 4, which records 35 million streams on Spotify. Back then it didn’t quite replicate the success of Sonne, managing only one top 20 placing, in Finland #15.

Third single Ich Will is at 57 million, it went the same way, securing only one top 20 placing, again in Finland #19.

Mutter, recording 28 million streams, was the single #4 and performed poorly everywhere except, yes you’ve guessed it, Finland, where it reached a commendable #7.

Their 2nd most popularly streamed track from Mutter is their 5th single Feuer Frei! at 63 million. It pretty much failed on release with a highest placing of #28 in Belgium.

The 6th single Mein Herz Brennt was released over 10 years later in 2012, to promote their upcoming video collection Videos 1995-2012 and returned them to the top 10 in Germany #7, their last single to do so anywhere. It continues to be widely popular with 50 million streams.

All these singles added to consistent album cuts add for a total of 356 million streams, enough to make Mutter a surprising #10 among most streamed albums from 2001.

To haters out here, Scorpions were rockin' since like 60s, Rammstein only made it big in Germany and Europe in early 00s, so of course they are outshadowed. However Rammstein could be considered as influental as Scorpions, because they fused so many genres in their music. So in the end both are great on their own and Kraftwekr are indeed influental but overlooked, because they didn't make any big hits. Simple as that...

Whilst I would like to see them get in I'm not sure Rammstein would give a shit either way. Too busy out there being the greatest thing to come out of Germany ever.

Rammstein should be in, but sad to say there are so many others that are still not even in yet. I read an online story that said that as each decade passes, fewer of the earlier greats are even considered anymore as nominees. Rammstein endures and with their original lineup still impresses fans. Would also like to see them perform at a half-time Superbowl. More people would then see that Rammstein has more than "Du Hast" as a song.
