But there are special names forever inscribed in the history of music - these are rock legends. The list of the best representatives of this includes those performers whose songs excite the minds and hearts of listeners so far.

Where to look for origins?

Rock music took its beginnings from such a direction as rock and roll, the origins of which stem from the blues. During its development, this direction has undergone many changes and combinations with a variety of areas: jazz, symphonic, Latin, Indian music. But, one way or another, all these directions were developed precisely in the West, from where rock began to conquer the planet with leaps and bounds. So it is worth paying attention to

Black Sabbath are another Brits who have developed and enriched the rock direction. In particular, they are the founders of heavy metal. Their music also gave rise to doom metal.

All over the world

The legends of foreign rock are not only the British, although they own the palm, and they have made a significant contribution to the development of this direction. Americans, Canadians, Australians and Germans brought in new touches and sounds, creating new directions and enriching the music.

AC/DC is the only band from Australia to achieve such tremendous popularity in this direction.

Their songs are still incredibly popular.

Kiss are Americans who are at the origins of glam rock and captivate the audience with unusual stage make-up and a grandiose pyrotechnic show at their concerts.

Among the legendary musicians and bands, it is simply impossible not to mention Van Halen, Scorpions, Guns N`Roses, Bon Jovi and Aerosmith.

Unique Phenomenon

Russian rock was born somewhat later. It has existed for a little over forty years and appeared in the vast Soviet Union as a protest movement. He set fashion, divided society and united like-minded people. This cultural phenomenon marked a whole era in the history of our country, which was unique in its own way. And, of course, we have our own rock music legends, which are not much inferior to foreign ones. Modern bands in our country, they try to look more like their foreign counterparts, but meanwhile, the rock of the end of the last century was incredibly original.

The best of the best

Representatives of a full-fledged rock movement, which took shape in the 80s of the last century, are groups on the songs of which several generations of our fellow citizens grew up:

• "Kino" - a deep text and an unusual manner of performance, as well as the charismatic figure of Viktor Tsoi - and now half of the country sings the songs of this team. A tragic death vocalist elevated "Kino" to the rank of cult groups.

• "Alisa" - the legends of Russian rock, who successfully perform to this day. Over the years of its existence, the band has managed to try out many genres: post-punk, heavy metal, hard rock, new wave and others.
• "Nautilus Pompilius" - amazing texts and the bewitching figure of Vyacheslav Butusov - this is the secret of the team's grandiose success.
• "Picnic" - the rock band of the 80s changed over time, trying new genres, and eventually formed its own unique style, which includes keyboards, symphonic and folk musical instruments.

Unformatted artists in the late 80s of the last century were subjected to pressure, persecution and censure for their views and the semantic content of the lyrics, but at the same time they managed to create amazing music. cult groups that time is not so short. "Auktyon", "Bravo", "Aquarium", "Sunday", "Black Coffee", "Secret", " civil defense”,“ Aria ”- they are all rock legends of our country. Their memory will forever remain in the hearts of many fans.

History of creation:
The exact date of the formation of the LEGENDA group is December 20, 2004, but first, a little history ...
The Legend group was formed as a result of the collapse of the Walls and Storm groups. At that time, the Walls needed a second guitarist, Vitaly Bondar became it. He fit perfectly into the team and, having a very powerful voice, forced out the vocalist Sergey at the mirophone stand.
He immediately became the leader of the team, because in addition to having an excellent voice, Vitalya is also a composer and poet. The name of the group is changed to "Legend". The composition for December 2004 was as follows:

Alexey Sazhnov - bass guitar.
Alexander Balaev - drums.

Then after new year holidays, there was a tense atmosphere in the team. At the end of January 2005, the bassist leaves the band. Andrey "Skull" Shapovalov (ex-"Archive", ex-"Storm") is immediately taken in his place. After that, "Legend" takes on a second wind and begins to rehearse intensively. The composition of the group did not change until December 2005. And remained as follows:

Vitaliy Bondar - vocals, rhythm guitar.
Dmitry Purtseladze - lead guitar.
Ekaterina Gninenko - keyboards.
Andrey Shapovalov - bass guitar.
Alexander Balaev - drums.

With this line-up, after six months of hard rehearsals, "Legend" gives its first concert in the "Alas" club, it took place on May 19, 2005. The following songs were performed at the concert: "Angel of Evil", " White snow”, “Legend”, “Without you”, “Day and night”, “Temples of the gods”, as well as a hit from V. Kipelov “I am free”.
After that, "Legend" gains wild popularity in the city and as a result of this, on August 30, it performs in Stepnogorsk in front of an audience of three thousand at the "4th Republican Festival of Authors", where it takes an honorable 2nd place ... This is followed by an unsuccessful concert in NK "Veranda" on September 17, which forced the guys to reconsider their personal relationships in the team. But the main concert this year was a concert at the Sports Palace "Kazakhstan" as part of the "ROCK FOR Nazarbayev" campaign. As part of this action, the group was given the opportunity to record one thing in a professional studio, for the collection "ROK FOR ...", which included the best teams from the city of Astana. This song was "Angel of Evil".
Then, as a result of an offer from the ZerKalo group, in December, the solo guitarist Dimas left the group. After some time, he was replaced by Rakhat Aubakirov (ex-"PostScriptum"). With the arrival of Rakhat, the sound of the team has noticeably changed, some arrangements have changed, the music has become technically more complex. In February 2006, the group traveled to Stepnogorsk with such a composition.
Then, having settled in the studio, she honed the old ones and composed new things. As a result, having collected a sufficient amount of material, on June 3, 2006, the first solo concert group "Legend". Like-minded people were also invited to the concert. best friends"Legends", namely the group "Sexton". They did a cover together famous song"Will and mind".
After the concert, the line-up changes again, Bogomolova Iya (Dark Dream) takes the place of the keyboard player.
The Legend group on the capital's scene is perhaps the only band that plays classic heavy metal, in the spirit of Aria and Iron Maiden.
The author of all the texts of the group is Vitaliy Bondar, the leader of the group. As for music, her group writes together.

The composition remains unchanged to this day.

1996

The group "Legend" is a group performing their own works in the style of Russian Rock, Bard Rock. The author and performer of all songs is Eduard Golubev. Genres Bard-rock Page address Description The group "Legend" was created on May 10, 1996 in Ulyanovsk on the basis of a team whose name no one remembers now. The name should be mentioned separately. For all their creative ambition, the musicians of the "Legends" of all times and periods are quite adequate, and therefore do not put any special meanings into the name. For us it's easy beautiful word. In November 1996, the group takes first place at the city rock festival, which earns credibility among more eminent colleagues. In the same year, the debut album "Trali-Vali" was recorded. The recording was made on a regular four-channel port-studio at home. The drums were recorded on the basis of the notorious Ulyanovsk band Slippers. The album contains 14 tracks. The album was widely distributed in Ulyanovsk thanks to word of mouth. After the release of the album, the group existed in a sluggish mode of rare performances, skipping rehearsals, loss of interest in the project, a divergence of views on further development commands. In 1999, the Legend ceased to exist. In 2000, the Parallel project was created in Moscow, within the framework of which two songs were recorded: Sky and These Days. In November 2006 "Legend" starts preparing to record a new album with the working title "Millennium". IN this moment The group exists in studio mode. Members Sites

In the new Internet reality of battles, rappers, shows on how to marry a star, and endless stories; it's hard to find music where the meaning outweighs the "trendy sound". Songs that you memorize by heart - so words dig into the heart - you find more and more often in the bygone romance of the 80s, 90s, 2000s. We present a selection of Russian rock legends according to the version.

Even if you have never been fond of Russian rock, have not gone to the Invasion, or are so young that you did not find a disc player, you still heard or watched the films "Brother" and "Brother-2". Here it is - a cult soundtrack, songs of struggle, love, pain and a new world.

And this is the whole point of Russian rock - it is in words, not in music. If American rock bands have been sold in millions of copies around the world for almost 70 years, then Russian rock originated as underground in the apartment houses of the 80s. If you want to understand the feeling of "Change!", watch the films "The Needle" and "Assa". Desire to get out of iron curtain"to become free, to find oneself, moved the young guys when they created a new musical language. guitar music became the main mediator of the generation - you can shout it with a guitar, and now - and under a video on YouTube.

MOVIE

"Tsoi is alive". The phrase will soon be 30 years old, and posthumous concerts with songs by Viktor Tsoi are still held every year. The man is a legend, the group is a symbol, the songs scattered into quotes. From unknown Leningrad boys, the group turned into a cult of worship, they were compared with the "new romantics" of British pop rock. Download any album - from the teenage and awkward "45" to the posthumous "Black Album" - and listen with your heart.

AQUARIUM

"Aquarium" and the permanent Boris Grebenshchikov are even ancient "Cinema". Grebenshchikov is often compared with classical poets, his songs are filled with mantras, and the “Golden City” was even recently mentioned in an interview with Yuri Dudya.

ALICE

Alisa, led by Konstantin Kinchev, is called the most influential group of Russian rock. During their existence since the early 80s, they seem to have played all directions, from rock and roll and punk rock, to heavy and folk metal, and last years the lead singer brought the band's sound to Christian rock. And you must have heard the E95 Highway.

AGATHA CHRISTIE

Do you want to get into a gothic romance where there is a bit of a horror story, a bit of a dark fairy tale, a romantic ballad and even a tantrum? Agatha Christie, which appeared in the late 80s, is perhaps the most suitable of all. The leaders of the group, brothers Vadim and Gleb Samoilov, directed the sound from symphonic, almost operetta to rhythmic electronic. The album "Opium" is considered a classic and a model of their work. Tightens like a web.

KING AND THE CLOWN

If “Agatha Christie” is still theatricality, then for the most real tavern tales, you should go to “The King and the Jester”. The two brothers Gorshok and Knyaz called their style "fables". Mikhail Gorshenev, who tragically died in 2013, was the leader of a group that lost its meaning without him. But the songs remained, so "make yourself at home, traveler."

DDT

Founder and sole permanent member group Yuri Shevchuk is the author of almost all hits. Confess, sing along "What is autumn?".

NAUTILUS POMPLIUS

Butusov's almost lulling vocals are 90% of the soundtrack to the film "Brother". By the way, Butusov himself played the role of a cameo in the episode at the apartment house, when Danila went to work. Butusov is his idol, Danila is trying to get his new discs. The group performs the song "The Beast" with a dedication dead Sergei Bodrov, who, in a sense, in the minds of the generation became Tsoi's double, because it was he who hosted the TV program "The Last Hero".

PICNIC

"Picnic" - real bison. Soloist Edmund Shklyarsky has a unique timbre, and the combination of rock with a symphony orchestra and exotic folk instruments turns the group into the most outlandish of the list.

B2

Well, no one writes to the colonel? Where are you, Barbara? Lyova and Shura may not have an answer, but for many years now they have remained one of the most popular Russian groups. They continue to experiment, making concerts with symphony orchestras and reflecting on the theme of the fall of the empire in the new single "Black Sun". The old duet with Chicherina "My Rock and Roll" is a separate love.

ZEMFIRA

The only woman on the list is here not for the sake of gender equality, but because it is impossible to imagine the rock scene without Zemfira. She was great to scream at 15, listen to the words at 20, and finally feel the full power of the combination of music and words at 25.
