Almost 40 years old and not a bit tired! Die Toten Hosen are the punk phenomena of Germany. For decades, the Düsseldorf musicians have thrilled the masses with their unmistakable mix of Campino's vocals and intelligent lyrics, guitars and hammer melodies. The trousers always manage to reinvent themselves and then return to the roots. How many albums have Die Toten Hosen sold? Attention, these numbers can cause dizziness. Die Toten Hosen have sold around 15,000,000 records in Germany so far. In Switzerland there were around 400,000 and in Austria 200,000. The Düsseldorfers are thus one of the most successful German bands of all time. Die Toten Hosen fans know this: Everyone has their own favorite album. This one disc that you can just listen to over and over again and sing along loudly. Many Hosen fans have developed an almost anthemic love for individual songs that accompany them throughout their lives.
Not only a must for fans!
The band's almost 40-year history has been marked by indexing, separations and comebacks. During this time, countless studio albums, compilations and live albums with at least 368 songs released have been created. A lot of material to collect. Because only a complete collection is a good collection. As a real fan, you know your way around, of course, but do you already have all the Die Ärzte albums?

Whoever says Die Ärzte must also say Die Toten Hosen. Since the beginning of the 1980s, no German teenager has been able to get past these two bands. The songs of the Düsseldorf band are thematically broad and deal mainly with social or political topics. The band around frontman Campino sings critically and satirically about xenophobia, friendship or even football. Musically, Die Toten Hosen originally come from the punk movement, but over the years they have also experimented with elements from jazz or reggae.
Surely you know Bommerlunder, Hier kommt Alex, Alles aus Liebe, Bonnie & Clyde, Zehn kleine Jägermeister, Schön sein, Tage wie diese, Wannsee or Alles passiert. The hits of the Toten Hosen cover everything. From cover versions, to drinking songs to instrumental versions of their old hits - there is something for every taste. Well over 360 of their own compositions and almost 170 cover versions have been created in the almost 40 years of band history.
