Periodically, there are references to certain groups that supposedly belong to rock, but in fact it turns out that this is a veiled pop music. In addition, the old school of rock is slowly dying out, but the young performers either create a new something or copy the old. Therefore, we will review the most popular rock groups of domestic and foreign production. I offer a list of those who begin to conquer or have long since won the hearts of people around the world.
The most popular rock bands of foreign production
So, first of all, the “world diner” has “dinosaurs” of the rock scene. These include Metallica, System of a down, Queen, Nirvana, Deep Purple, AC / DC, Iron Maiden, Scorpions, Ramstein, Pink Floyd, Judas Priest, Dio, Rainbow, Black Sabbat in general, and Oz the Great and Terrible - in particularly Offspring, Accept, The Beatles. In fact, the list is incomplete. This list was proposed by a number of world magazines, but I would like to add Slipknot, Limp Bizkit, Slayer, Skillet, Three Days Grace, Linkin park, Bullet for My Valentine, Papa Roach, My Darkest Days, 30 Seconds To Mars, Sunrise Avenue, Oomph !, Nightwish, Evanescens.
There are younger and maybe even bands and performers with perspective and charisma , but at times they just want to cry over them , as the songs are clearly coordinated, and mediocre. Some of these groups no longer exist, as the participants retired, created solo projects or simply moved to another world. But their work and work lives out of time, and fans are still ready to defend their magnificent heritage with foam at the mouth.
In addition, the very perception of the word "rock" is changing: frankly pop musicians are beginning to ascribe to it. It is sad, but the fact that the most popular rock bands are foreign, which are popular with young people, have a good appearance, but with the content they are clearly lame, remaining performers for one day. New styles are emerging, however, they just as quickly and go. But while there are "grandfathers" who write songs and just high-quality music, we do not hang our nose.
Domestic production. The most popular rock bands
Grandfathers are also leading here, but if you take into account the fact that domestic rock is somewhat younger than foreign, we list the pioneers and subsequent generations. So let's go! Alice, Picnic, Cinema, Chayf, Night Snipers, Bi-2, Cockroaches, Surganova and Orchestra, Zemfira, Pilot, Lapis Trubetskoy, DDT, Time Machine, Auction, Sunday, Bravo, Metal Corrosion, Aquarium, Accent, Automatic Satisfactors, Nautilus Pompilius, Zoo, Aria, Kipelov, "Grob", Yanka Diaghilev, "Brigade S" and many others.
Many "crap me", but nevertheless, domestic musical creativity remains closer to me, although there are a number of foreign performers who really catch on. In the texts, there is still a certain fraction of the Russian spirit, although recently Westerners have been exerting an increasing influence
on the creativity of our groups. There are those who keep to the last on the same wavelength, but, like abroad, new trends and already soulless, faceless and meaningless songs with similar music capture scenes.
The most popular rock band 2013
Only the section on the popularity of a particular artist can summarize all of the above. Here we will also divide into “ours” and “not ours”. Let's start with the foreign. The undisputed leader is Metallica, which has been scoring hits for more than a dozen years and remains an example for many artists. But in the CIS countries in connection with recent events, the guys from The King and the Fool gained special popularity (and not without that). Very predictable popularity, I must say. In connection with the unexpected death of Mikhail Gorshenev, the group was remembered by everyone who could not even endure them. But to be honest, I am not aware of any other Russian group, in which absolutely every text is interesting and catches not only the mind, but also the imagination. High-quality music, excellent vocalists' voices and a wide variety of themes (coupled with the latest musical) ... In a word, at your own peril and risk they give the palm to the guys from King and the Jester. And Mikhail Gorshk Gorshenev - a special thank you for a beautiful and interesting youth with unusually scary tales.
