I gotta agree with the NIN peeps, but can't choose them as my fav. That spot is reserved for Rammstein. Most people only know them as that German band that did "Du Hast". Well it's awesome that people recognize them, but I wish it could be for all of their work. And as for extreme, just give "Buch Dich" (bend down), "Küss mich (Fellfrosch)" (kiss me furry-frog[slang for vagina]), "Der Meister" (the master), and the latest "extreme" song "Mein Teil" (my tool[slang for penis]) a try.
They, like NIN, have done a lot for electronic and industrial music. They also put the German music scene on stage for the world to see. Bands like OOMPH!, In Extremo, Stahlhammer, and Megaherz would not have the international fan base they do if not for R+.
P.S. - Check out the new videos from Rammstein: Mein Teil and Amerika
