There are some recommendations on my blog http://learninggerman.posterous.com/pages/deuts...

I really love Christina Stürmer and would also recommend such bands as Wir sind Helden, Juli and Silbermond.

Wolfsheim is one of the best bands ever! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sGzEthjTKy4

German music is very popular at the Goth nightclubs in Perth, Australia. Some of the favorite German songs here:

Künstliche Welten by Wolfsheim: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Kd3fePdNpI (with lyrics)
Panzermensch by And One: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fziTZ3m-khE
Computerliebe by Kraftwerk: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dMxrOOG6jAY

And lots of songs by Oomph, who created the hard-rock genre "Neue Deutsche Härte":

Augen Auf: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x26CGwlyahs
Gott Ist Ein Popstar: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bs8AOWMRL98 (with lyrics)
Sandmann: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2k4Xgm9dDMg

I've also heard that Jan Delay is popular in Germany, he performed at Eurovision 2011 in Düsseldorf:

Wow, that's crazy, I don't know any of these groups. Never even heard of them lol. I guess I'll check out the Austrian group first ;-)

I know most of the groups the other posters mentioned. Generally speaking I have to say I do not recommend listening to German rap music (like Bushido etc.). Of course, that is mostly a personal preference but I don't see any possible benefits in listening to their "lyrics" unless you want to impress whoever you talk to with an endless list of swear words and enjoy listening to people talk about how cool it is to be violent.

Some of Bushido's lyrics are just outrageous in my opinion. Young language exchange partners keep asking me how to translate these songs which I respectfully refuse. To each his own I guess. If you like it, go ahead and listen to it but I doubt you will make any progress linguistically speaking (well, of course, you will gain some expertise in swearing and threatening people verbally and after all that is part of a language too; still I can do without it).

My personal preferences aside, I'd say listening to music is always a nice way to immerse yourself in a language.

Music sung in German that I like (not all of these bands are from Germany): Kraftwerk, Can, Tangerine Dream, Faust, Neu!, Die Fünf Freunde, Einstürzende Neubauten, Young Gods.

One that i love is Outbreakband :)
