Germany is big, but I think a good one that ruffles no feathers is Santiano (a sea-man shanty like band), though obviously Ramstein is bigger, but some people think that they are nazis (which they aren't, they are provocative)
Given that recent scandals and Lindemann, right wing connotations are the least of their worries.
For the uninformed: he allegedly used the backstage area as a sex dungeon, including drugs, minors, rape, etc.
Santiano is not universally loved. They're too close to Schlager for that. And the issue with Rammstein isn't really alleged nazism (which only came up briefly when they used Leni Riefenstahl's footage) but rather their singer's alleged backstage raping.
So far, I haven't met people who hated Herbert Grönemeyer, Marius-Müller Westernhagen, Jan Delay, Nina Hagen, die Ärzte, die fantastischen Vier or Reinhard Mey. A little more recent music that I have rarely seen associated negatively would be by Kraftklub, Peter Fox or Deichkind. None of this is particularly progressive, but it's decent stuff that is so universally liked that e.g. weddings often rely on them to get people to dance.
Just realised that this isn't just about music. Those were all musicians or bands, but Germany of course has people from all trades.
To universally loved artists I'd count
Ich bin Schnappi, das kleine Krokodil.
My personal suggestion list would be:
What about Kraftwerk. They’re so influential and iconic.
Another Idea I had is The Sandmännchen (A berry young kids show that runs every day since 1959) there almost no talking so you could say that "your kids love it" or something
How about Kraftwerk?
Interesting! I knew the French version of this song by Hugues Aufray, which happens to be the inspiration for this band's name. Although, Aufray's inspiration is the sea shanty Santianna referring to the Mexican General Antonio López de Santa Anna, which has many variations.
