Away from strange Czechoslovakian covers of popular western hits, the DDR turned out some pretty good bands. You might recognise some of these if you've watched Deutschland 83. The lyrics to the first two are pretty relevant even today:

I'm a bit of a fan of Karat, sort of Camelesque prog. Their lyrics seems a little opaque, but that's because they had to get past the censors. Their most famous song is "uber sieben Bruecken", clearly a protest song dressed up in a ballad. And more recently given an excruciating cover treatment by Chris de Burgh, who seemed to have used Google Translate in failing to convey any of the meaning or sentiment.

That's really interesting about Über Sieben Brücken. I've only ever known the Peter Maffay version released the year after Karat, so didn't realise it was a cover and it's origins. It just seems like a fairly inoffensive ballad, so I'd never really paid much attention to the lyrics.
I have always been curious about how slavishly the Soviet Union/Soviet States denounced all US culture and yet slavishly followed/imitated it....their cars from 50s and 60s could have rolled off the end of the production line in Detroit not Gorky, their music is just a direct copy
I will drop this in...from Balkans, an examination of the joys and perils of emigration

Ought to be banned under the Geneva Convention..(now they were a good band...)
Just one small problem; sell their houses to who, Ben? Fcking Aquaman?

One of the most overlooked prog rock bands is Ancient Platypus.
