Right, all the modern stuff is out of the way, here’s some of the best of the classics.
Firstly, the (in)famous Herbert von Karajan conducting the Vienna Philharmonic at a New Year’s Concert quite a few years back, with possibly the most well known of all Strauss waltzes.

Here’s the last bit of pop music from Austria.
Firstly, the good, nay, fantastic Ausseer Hardbradler live in concert with "Hoamweh nach BA"
Next, the bad, nay, horrendous. Sadly this song actually sold more copies in the UK than Falco. Shame on you all.

Actually, I’ve always viewed this song as illogical. I mean, if Meatloaf already knows that he won’t do "that" for love, why is he singing "I would do anything for love". Surely given that he is already aware of his personal opt out, he should sing "I would do almost anything for love".
