Paradoxically, the British, known as a model of restraint and conservatism, do not adhere to absolutely any rules in music. English singers are always outrageous in their purest form, which at first in the eyes of the public looks too bold, and then becomes an icon of generations. The kings who blew up the world with their sound, rebels who were forbidden and impossible not to listen to, are all English singers, the list of which is headed by the Liverpool four Beatles.
It all started with the Beetles
Today, creativity is engaged only in one of the musicians - 74-year-old Paul McCartney. In the early 1960s, a garage group played at small-town concerts, but it soon became clear that the band could show the public something other than covers. Paul McCartney is the author of most hits from the first two Beatles albums. In 1963, after performing in the Royal Variety show, these English singers woke up famous.
Classical rock, art and pop rock - the group has won an extensive niche in world music, and McCartney was not only the author of the immortal Hey Jude, Yellow Submarine and Yesterday (the world leader in covers), but also a performer of various musical parts from bass to recorder .
Outrageous King - Mick Jagger
English rock singers should sing loudly - as Michael once decided in his childhood. An enthusiastic teenager tried so hard to sing like a star that he once bit off the tip of his tongue during a song.
The legendary band The Rolling Stones was founded in 1962. English singers Jagger and Richards met as teenagers on the playground. Later, the already played group took over Brown Jones. Over the next 20 years, Jagger held on as the frontman of the group. The audience noted the breadth of the musical range, and the unusual voice, and its groovy energetic and fearlessly sexual movements. Jagger's dances became a legend along with his songs, they demonstrate the multifaceted character of this musician - an eternal child, to whom childhood seems to be permanent.
David Bowie is more than an artist
The artistic career of this hero is 50 years of impeccable style. Bowie’s music was inextricably linked with the external component. Insinuating voice, intellectual puzzle songs, stage experimentation, scandalous androgynous images. Many English singers say that it was Bowie who influenced their style. The composition Space Oddity, released in 1969, became the hallmark of the singer. The songs Let's Dance and Modern Love were included in the list of 500 greatest songs of the world, and the musician was put in 23rd place in the hundred of the greatest vocalists of the world of all time. Without ceasing to create, Bowie died in 2016 at the age of 69 from cancer.
Alpha Male Hard Rock : Lemmy
Many English singers paid great attention to their own style, but Ian Kilmister is not one of them. Kilmister is a classic example of an alpha male on stage in heavy music. The English singer, composer, commonly known as Lemmy, was born in 1945. Replayed a bunch of genres from classic rock and roll to punk and psychedelic.
Lemmy Kilmister devoted half his life to Motörhead and Hawkwind.
The brutality, heavy vocals and the equally thunderous sound of Lemmy's bass made him a cult personality in hard rock and adorned the career of a dozen bands that were lucky to collaborate with him. The career of a musician started in 1965. Wild, rampant, uncontrollable, Lemmy was a headache for Hawkwind musicians. Despite the fruitfulness of the collaboration, he was expelled from the team due to addiction to drugs. However, in 1975, Lemmy proves that it is too early to give up on the bass addict - he founded his own Motörhead band, which wins the status of the main British hard rock band and is part of the British hard-n-heavy gold fund.
He threw lovers and children, wandered around the world, despised material values - in general, as often happens, he was a real monster for loved ones, and an idol for the whole world. This man died, like a boy, playing a video game. As it turned out, he had progressive cancer, which Lemmy ignored.
This is a very mysterious person. Some interesting facts about this person. The music industry paid tribute to Kilmister by creating an unusual documentary called Lemmy. For 3 years he starred in Hollywood in the house of the musician himself. Also, the work took place on tours in all corners of the world.
