Austrian Pop - Still popular in Austria

When I was in college, I enjoyed a group called STS.  We went to their concernt and really enjoyed the music and the fans.  They were all so well behaved, I couldn't believe it.

Here is the STS Fan page. 
http://www.sts-page.com/

Here is what they look like to day:

Here is "Kalt und Kaelter":

Here is what they used to look like when they were young.  "Grossvater" is a heartfelt song.

There is perhaps their most popular song.

Here is another singer, but with a similar style.
Rainhard Fredrick: Traenen Trocken schnell (Tears dry fast).
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ci5ol7GCd1g&feature=related

By the same artist:  I am from Austria

Here is another style, especially for those who like "Skifoan" (Skifahren) by Wolfgang Ambros
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QJ4nzSY0f8c

George Danzler sings this song in der Hochsprache, so you may understand it better than the others.
Title: Du fehlst Mir so.  (I miss you so.)
