All Russian groups and performers. These musical groups are recognized as the best in the world
A rather popular group with Eva Polna at the head, immediately won the wide love of the public with their good arrangements and quickly riveted a lot of catchy hits that girls tearfully sang in almost all discos of the vast Motherland. Songs such as "Dislike", "Run from me" and, of course, "Love me in French" became integral compositions in the playlist of any self-respecting bachelorette party of the 90s and 2000s.
2. Disco Crash
Even the most inveterate rapper and the most hardened metal worker, no, no, and even remember the incendiary motives of this group, well, “Drink beer - eat meat” sounded from every iron at one time. Disco Crash, having gone through the death of one of the participants, actually created a lot of very good different songs about love and friendship and aram-zam-zam there too. Crowned by their creativity New Year rushing towards us, everything will happen soon ”- known from the first chords and recognizable by absolutely everyone.
3. Ivanushki International
The epic boy band of our country, where the members of the group have already become practically grandfathers, still continues to sing songs about unhappy girlish love. In the turbulent nineties, there was Poplar Fluff, and Bullfinches, Clouds, Dolls - it was on these hits that the all-Russian popularity of one redhead and two non-redheads was won.
4. Lyceum
Darling girl group, changing soloists like gloves. Well, and whoever didn’t do this, you can remember, for example, such a crazy group as Strelki, where there were about 20 different girls on vocals and backup dancers, replacing each other regularly once a month. “Lyceum” against their background with the permanent Anastasia Makarevich was just a model of stability, and their “Autumn-autumn, the years have cooled down and shed their leaves” and “And I am a winter girl” have firmly and permanently ingrained in the brain of all our compatriots.
5. Mirage
The mastodons of this list, who started back in the USSR. A large number of squads and girls who grew up into independent stars such as Vetlitskaya, Ovsienko or Saltykova, who traveled around the country in the 90s and collected entire stadiums. It was they who massively brought electronic music to the country, and I still remember very well how my parents lit up under "Music connected us"
6. Hands Up
Another epic and most popular mega-project named after Sergey Zhukov. If the progressive youth listened already to the Western clubbing, then the Russian youth in the outback came off to the frantic rhythms of the Hands Up. “Ai-yay-yay girl”, “I’m already 18” and others, still rattles at all sorts of discos of the 90s and regularly gathers halls.
7.Tattoo
Our "European breakthrough", lesbian image and incredible drive, of course, did their job and "tattoo" became popular not only in Russia. At first everything went well, really strong albums and hits - "They won't catch up with us", and at concerts they were laid out every time like the last one. Then the rehashing of Western hits began, songs in English, and the Russian audience began to slowly leave, and with it, popularity also waned.
8. Technology
The Technologiya group at one time claimed the laurels of the most advanced electronic disco group in young democratic Russia. Copying the then insanely popular Depeche Mode, the group with their hit "Press the button - you get the result", managed to break through to fame and popularity and gathered at the Luzhniki arena, which at that time were rented to anyone and anything, a record 70 thousand Man, those were the times.
9.On-on
Perhaps the first sane boy band brought to our country four smiling guys who sang cute, meaningless songs about “Hat Fell, Fell to the Floor” and gained immense popularity among young and not so girls. They say that the group is still alive, and this is almost 20 years old, and still performs on tour somewhere abroad.
10. Inveterate scammers
Reckless and hooligan recitatives from Amoralov and the company, of course, remember all the "clear boys" of that time. The first bright hoodies, saggy pants and glasses of unimaginable shapes, as well as uncomplicated texts about how to glue a girl, don’t worry and score on study and ancestors, of course, found their way into the minds of young people after straight, like a stick, doctrines Soviet Union. Such was the time - every innovation was accepted with a bang, and each, even the weakest and most obscure of their albums, had some success.

10. One Republic
American rock band One Republic known to all for its melodic songs that the whole world listens to. Probably, there is no such person who was indifferent to their songs.
Roman Litvinov, better known as Mujuice, is perhaps the most notable performer electronic music in Russia in the last decade. The artist has more than a dozen full-length releases, the smaller part of which was recorded with live vocals.
The last such album was Amore e morte, released last year. Release lost in the stream new music and did not become as successful as, for example, Cool Cool Death!, released ten years ago. Despite this, Mujuice is still popular today, musicians such as Zemfira Ramazanova do not hesitate to collaborate with him, and the performer himself is a welcome participant in major Russian and foreign festivals.
2. Antokha MC
"Antokha MC" - a musician from Moscow, who started with training in music school in the "Pipe" class, and now one of the most promising Russian hip-hop artists.
In Anton's work, you can find echoes of 5'nizza and Mikhey, but in general it is quite original - it is not hip-hop in the classical sense of the term. The music is influenced by funk and reggae, and the accompaniment is an additional highlight, which in some songs is played by a trumpet.
3. Medzhikul
The absence of the St. Petersburg group "Medzhikul" in the rotation of radio and TV is quite possibly a temporary phenomenon. Their debut album “All About Martha” has everything to please almost any listener: you can dance to the songs of “Medzhikul” both incendiary and slow dancing, they want to sing along, while the music itself is very far from pop music that has set the teeth on edge.
"Medzhikul" is perhaps the first band in Russia that performs music in the rhythm and blues genre of the 70s - the so-called Motown Sound. Petersburgers skillfully combine the features of this genre with modern musical techniques and funny lyrics in Russian, as a result, their compositions sound fresh and familiar at the same time.
4. Harajiev Smokes Virginia!
A group from Kazan, which started in 2009 with downhole mat-rock, now performing indie rock with elements of pop music. The group has six full-fledged releases, each of which, probably, forever settled in the memory of my smartphone.
There are only three people in the group, the main instrumental backbone is drums, bass, guitar and vocals. Other instruments are used in HSV recordings, but this minimum set is enough to perform songs at concerts. If you like perky and romantic guitar music, do not understand English lyrics and have no prejudices about high male vocals, then Harajiev Smokes Virginia! you will like it.
5 Motorama
Rostov-on-Don gave fans of hip-hop "Casta", and fans of modern independent music - a couple of Vlad and Irina Parshin, who stood at the origins of the Motorama projects, "Morning" and "Bergen Kremer" ("Summer in the City"). Motorama is considered to be the main project of the musicians: the band's discography includes four full-length and two mini-albums, and the tour map extends far beyond Russia.
Motorama's work is usually classified as post-punk and twi-pop. Simple progressions and melodies, 4/4 time signature and minimalist accompaniment make Motorama's music simple and enjoyable.
6. Thank you
"Musical group from Moscow" is full text annotations in the "Thank you" community "VKontakte". The members don't try to trump with a variety of style tags and don't compare themselves to genre hegemons. The band's style is really hard to describe without resorting to boring musical terms. talking in simple words, "Thank you" - perky and sometimes experimental guitar rock with intelligent lyrics in their native language.
7. BCH
BCC is a project of the Moscow musician Viktor Isaev. It all started with the album "Mignon", released in 2014, unusual both in form and content. High-quality R&B and soul are not very common in Russian music, and BCC not only became a good alternative to James Blake, but also released an original experimental release. "Mignon" is the album where very un-Russian music is combined with the most Russian lyrics - poems of poets of the Silver Age.
The latest release of the BCC "Hellenic Secret" was already recorded with the author's texts. The music itself has also undergone changes: the songs are different from each other and combine echoes of many directions - from trip-hop to retrowave.
8.Pinkshinyultrablast
Pinkshinyultrablast is a shoegaze band from St. Petersburg and the only Russian band that Pitchfork likes to write about. Shoegaze is an alternative rock genre that originated in England in the late 80s. The music of this style is characterized by specific work with guitar effects and the detached behavior of musicians on stage, absorbed in this work.
In Russia, the shoegaze music boom of the 80s and 90s went unnoticed, so this genre is still not popular with a wide audience. Pinkshinyultrablast do not count on success with the Russian listener: they give concerts abroad much more often than in Russia.
9. On-The-Go
A group from Tolyatti, which started in hometown from downhole dance rock and later changed both genre and place of residence. After moving to the capital of Togliatti, he took Xuman Records under his wing, and the very first release of In The Wind marked the beginning of the group's work in a new style. Now On-The-Go is a Moscow-based indie-pop band that doesn't sound Russian at all.
10. Sirotkin
Moscow bard Sergei Sirotkin proves year after year that in Russia one can become popular artist just playing beautiful music. The pursuit of fashion, the desire to turn creativity into bold experiments - this is not about Sirotkin. Here - only a guitar and a young man with a beautiful voice.
Modern domestic show business is a special world, in some way separated from the rest of civilization, in which slightly different people live, with their own worries, deeds and quirks.
