Cult group. These musical groups are recognized as the best in the world

19.02.2019

A lot has been said about rock music. How does she instill freedom what it will be in the hearts of feelings. Much has been said about the performers. About them tragic stories, enchanting ups and downs, about their hits and soaring albums, or failures and songs that no one remembers for a long time. As for rock music, you can scratch your tongue for a long time and with pleasure. The conversation about rock bands will drag on for a longer time.

But! For some reason, it is customary to bypass the question: “Who is better?” Really, who?! Having asked this question, we begin to furiously scour the Internet in search of decent ratings. Opinions are many, diametrically different. Crowds of delighted or indignant fans appear around each list. Everyone wants his idol to take the honorary line. Yes, and evaluation criteria - more than enough. On what basis to evaluate? By the number of fans - it's too difficult to count them. In terms of the number of records sold, happiness is not in money. In general, each new rating generates a new srach. We do not want to offend anyone, we do not undertake to authoritatively draw up our own ratings.

Today's conversation will be devoted to the already existing rating of the authoritative magazine "Hit Parader". It is one of the few magazines that has dared to create a list of this kind, not being afraid of the seething opinions that this very list can generate. Here we will not scrupulously consider each position and explain the reasons why this or that performer takes this particular position. Our review will include the most famous rock artists, perhaps the best modern rock groups(relatively young bands), as well as we will not deprive our attention of the 10 best rock bands in the world, according to the list.

So, having set all priorities, a review of the Hit Parader magazine version “The best rock bands in the world” rating starts right here. Let's go!

Starts the hit parade of the world's best rock bands german group “Accept”. The 100th line is, of course, not the best result, but this is a list of the best performers from the whole WORLD, which means that getting into it is already an honor. So, German virtuosos and their "Teutonic metal" open the list.

The next on the list made me happy Lordi. To be honest, until 2006 I did not know about this Finnish masquerade at all. However, when they won the you-know-what contest, the costumed monsters quickly became super-famous and popular. Meanwhile, during the existence of the group (since 1992), they managed to sell more than 40 million copies of albums. This is quite an impressive figure, so the 98th position behind them is absolutely deserved, in my opinion.

And now the first rotten tomato will fly at me. Famous all over the world Rammstein- only on the 96th position. One of the most famous rock bands in Germany and only 96th line. Let's not guess why - so decided the critics of "Hit Parader". We express our sympathy to Rammstein fans, and we ourselves move further down the list.

Black Label Society- 89th place. A reliable friend and comrade of Ozzy Osbourne, Zach Wylde, did get his place in the list of the top 100 rock artists in the world. BLS have released 11 albums since 1998.

American "Scandinavians" with their true metal'om (true metal, as they call it) go to 82nd place. During its existence since 1980, lovers of Scandinavian mythology have accumulated an impressive discography: 13 albums, 8 video albums, 4 collections. With so much variety, it's no wonder they made it into the top 100.

New York anthrax Anthrax ranked 76th. Founded in 1981, the group managed to change the repertoire from heavy metal to rzhp metal and even groove metal. Among other things, the musicians have spawned a dozen other successful musical projects. On account of five gold albums out of 14 (including compilations and live albums) records. Now also 76th place in the list of the 100 best rock bands in the world.

Immediately under Anthrax settled down P.O.D.. and it's a little weird. Their belonging to this list is, to put it mildly, incomprehensible to me. There are, say, christian rock. But I couldn't imagine Christian rapcore or Christian metal. In any case, P.O.D. sold over 13 million copies worldwide. And it means at least something in the world.

Italians Lacuna Coil go to 72nd place. Obviously "gothic metal" means something if Hit Parader decided to place them that high. They have 10, no .. already 11 albums (they recently released Broken Crown Hero).

68th place in the list of the best rock bands in the world given to Limp Bizkit . Despite the fact that the group has almost completely ceased to exist since the period 2005-2009, "sticky cookies" once again delight fans with their new products. Well, Limp Bizkit has 40 million albums, tons of music awards and Wes Borland, appearance which can scare children. 68th place? Let it be.

Dave Mustaine was fired from Metallica still managed to get into the top 100 best rock performers on the planet. Megadeth - 66th. 14 studio albums and 38 million copies worldwide deservedly speak of such a high position.

Bon Jovi- line at number 53. Despite the fact that in 2013 Bon Jovi became the most commercially successful band, having earned more than $ 100 million, they sat in the middle of the hit parade of the best rock bands in the world. Honor and respect!

Evanescence. Although they took a sabbatical of 5 years (I would like that), for past services to the whole world, Hit Parader placed Amy Lee and company in 52nd place. The achievements of Evanescence are obvious, they do not need additional advertising. 52nd line. Let's go further

I tried so hard, and got so far - line from the song Linkin Park . They tried so hard and climbed so high. 49th place. Two "diamond" albums ("Hybrid Theory" and "Meteora"), the circulation of each exceeded 20 million copies. A bunch of awards and an army of fans guaranteed them a place in the middle of our star list.

The concentration gets thicker closer to the leaders. Pink Floyd in 42nd place. The giants of rock music have existed for almost 30 years. More than 300 (!!!) million Pink Floyd albums have been sold worldwide. Pink Floyd is whole era and therefore the 42nd place behind them is counted without a doubt.

Old people who don't age. Do you know who it is? red hot chili peppers . No one would think, but the group has existed since 1983 and has been playing for over 30 years. 60 million copies worldwide, 10 studio albums. The eleventh is being prepared for release. What about RHCP - 41st place.

One day, Pete accidentally broke his guitar neck on the club's low ceiling. The audience and the musician liked it so much that breaking the equipment became a tradition. Guess what I'm talking about? The Who - one of the oldest rock musicians in the UK. The Who's discography would be enough for a dozen bands: 11 studio albums, 11 live albums, 26 compilation albums, 58 singles, 6 video albums and 4 soundtracks. 38th place - The Who.

Motorhead! Lemmy can't go on tour, but past accomplishments lead motorhead to 32nd place. March or die! - so invitingly says the motto of their logo. Homemarched to 32nd position. With which we congratulate them.

The anniversary 30th place of Hit Parader is given to the Armenian guys from System of a Down. What about 5 platinum albums, inviting lyrics, your own style. Well deserved.

Ozzy Osbourne outweighed Zach Wilde by as much as 60 lines. 29th place! I think Osborne is so famous that there is no need to describe his achievements.

19 studio albums, 34 live albums, 20 compilations and 15 live DVDs. Who else can boast such a discography? Only Deep Purple. The group has existed for more than 40 years, and its composition has changed so often that it is now customary to mark the compositions with numbers. In total, 14 people participated in 10 (ten!!!) different combinations in the group. I think now no one has any questions about the honorable 27th place in the list of “most best rock world groups.

26th place goes to the group "Pantera". Among other things, the Group was ranked 45th in the list of “100 Greatest Performers hard rock” according to VH1, and #5 on MTV's list of the "Top 10 Heavy Metal Bands of All Time". The band's discography includes 9 studio albums. And although only the last 5 brought them fame, the eighties albums also helped the guys from Texas to get to 26th place.

Top Ten:

Opens a list of ten leaders Marilyn Manson. Manson? In the list of top 100 rock music artists? You must be joking. But no! Brian Warner is known not only for music, he also has many works in films, and more than 150 watercolor paintings. Multifaceted talent, do not say anything. Well, since Hit Parader placed him in 10th place, so be it.

ninth place Motley Crue. The indestructible core of glam metal, Creates from 1981 to this day. 9 studio albums.

If you, looking through this text, were perplexed (yes, it’s a sin to hide something here, I myself am in shock) about where are THEY? Here! Metallica- eighth place. Everyone who has eyes and ears knows about Metallica. Over the past 32 years, the band has managed to develop a discography of 9 studio albums, 4 live albums, 5 mini-albums, 46 singles and 24 video clips. The number of awards does not know the score at all. It's not for nothing that Metallica, Megadeth, Anthrax and Slayer are called the "big four of thrash metal"

Seventh place - AC/DC. The most popular band in Australia and one of the most popular around the world. Over 200 million albums have been sold worldwide. The album "Back in Black" has sold around 64 million copies worldwide. Just unbelieveble!

slipknot- sixth place. There are no comments here. I don’t know what the critics were guided by, but this is already too much!

On the fifth line - queen.“One time pop”, as Freddie Mercury himself called his music. I don’t know how disposable it is, but the fact that Queen songs have changed the world is for sure.

Fourth place gets Led Zappelin. And no wonder. The world circulation of albums is even greater than that of Pink Floyd. Among other things, according to the rating channel VH1, Led Zappelin take first place in the list of "100 Greatest Artists of Hard Rock", and Rolling Stone magazine recognizes them as the "Best Band of the 70s". Impressively.

Guns'n'roses on the third place! During the existence of this team (since 1985), its members visited total 22 people. Perhaps even VIA “GRA” did not change the composition so often. 6 studio albums, 17 music videos, 21 singles. Sold over 100 million copies worldwide. There is something to be proud of.

In second place Van Halen. Over the 40 years of its existence, the group recorded 12 studio albums, traveled the whole world and became the inspiration for such giants of rock music as Pantera and deep purple. Edward Van Halen was recognized in 2012 the best guitarist of all time (according to Guitar World magazine).

Well, the group heads our list KISS. Over 45 gold and platinum albums and over 100 million albums sold. 40 years of active concert activity, thousands of performances. 19 studio albums, 32 video clips, 10 live and 14 video albums. For 40 years, KISS have done as much as probably no one else could. Perhaps that is why Hit Parader placed them in the first place.

Finally, a question. Where is The Beatles? No, I'm serious. Of the 100 positions of the best rock bands in the world, there was no place for The Beatles? It's not even funny.
Well, we already knew that Hit Parader is a very subjective publication and oriented towards metal fans rather than classic rock music. Personally, I was extremely surprised by this position of the performers in the list.

However, no matter how these top 100 are shuffled and in what order, they remain the best. If you are looking for the most best rock bands planets - just try something from this list.

This is the top 10 popular rock bands according to Hit Parader magazine. Hit Parader magazine specializes in hard rock and heavy metal news, so you can trust it.

Concert performances the bands have also been acclaimed as some of the brightest and most significant in the history of rock.

They touched the strings of the soul, played on the nerves, on emotions, on feelings. They sang with anguish about the eternal - oh immortal love, about friendship, about finding yourself, your place in the world, about the fact that in the end you never need to give up, but the show .. The show must go on!

But what is all time? And is it that easy to find out? Music magazines and other media have repeatedly compiled their lists of the 10 best rock bands of all time. They included a limited number of performers. So they later expanded to become the top 100 rock bands of all time. But sometimes it seems that this is not enough.

Why is it so interesting?

Rock music is an amazing layer of audio art. So many words have already been said about what freedom it generates in the soul of the listener, what a storm of emotions you can experience when listening to a hit. In addition, rock musicians themselves are quite interesting personalities - their biographies are full of myths and legends, they are full of retellings about the ups and downs of geniuses. Alice Cooper, for example, himself wondered how the presenters wild life rockers could compose something so heartfelt? Scandals associated with them - do not list. And representatives of especially heavy genres, in principle, scare some people either with their appearance or antics.

Are there good ratings?

The question of who is better, of course, is always put squarely, but it is at this moment that it is, I must say, quite acute. History has more than one or two bands that deserve the title of "the best rock band of all time." By what criteria to choose? It is not known how much effort was spent on this, but at one time Rolling Stone compiled several such lists. Having achieved wide distribution and fame, the magazine is the first to come to mind when talking about all kinds of large-scale music ratings. Let's start with him.

According to Rolling Stone

The famous music magazine loves to delight fans with all sorts of ratings. On his account, not only the list of the best rock bands of all time, but also the best rock guitarists (by the way, it was headed by Jimi Hendrix), and 500 of the best songs, were Rolling Stone and the list of the best films about rock bands. And, of course, the magazine annually publishes a list of the best, in its opinion, albums. More global ratings (some of which are listed above) are usually assigned to some significant date, anniversary, jubilee. They can contain from 10 to 500 positions.

So, the best rock band of all time according to the magazine is the incomparable The Beatles. And who's to say that these geniuses of rock music do not deserve a high title? What is true is true - the magazine compiled a list not only of rock bands, but also of performers in principle, which, by the way, is also significant - since music of this particular style turned out to be in the first place. The British had a huge impact on the development of rock and forever remained the pioneers of the genre.

By the way, when choosing the best among progressive rock bands, Rolling Stone especially noted Rush, a trio from Canada, and John Astville, in his opinion, became the best bass player (voting was conducted among magazine readers). You can list the rest of the leading positions in the ratings of this magazine endlessly - many of these lists have been released there.

According to Hit Parader magazine

Compiling a list of the top 100 rock bands, hardrock and heavy metal magazine Hit Parader declared KISS the best rock band of all time. Glam rockers, apparently, quite impressed the editors with their talent, and at the same time with their memorable appearance.

The top three also included Van Halen and Guns`n`Roses, second and third respectively.

Led Zeppelin and Queen are fourth and fifth. AC/DC and Metallica can be seen in seventh and eighth - surprisingly they were overtaken in sixth place by Slipknot.

The list abounds as already become legendary bands, and well-known modern ones - for example, Evanescense, whose soloist Amy Lee cannot but be remembered for her magnificent vocals, took the 52nd place.

What is surprising?

Evanescense in the eyes of Hit Parader turned out to be so good that they overtook them by one position. A controversial decision - both are quite talented and have a huge number of fans, and John's much earlier fame, as we see, did not help him gain an advantage over Amy.

In turn, she took 10th place thanks to the multifaceted creative nature of the vocalist. The musician is known not only as a colorful participant group of the same name but also as an amazing watercolor artist. Merlin's amusing achievements were appreciated by Hit Parader, allowing Manson to be ahead of Ozzy Osbourne and Deep Purple by many positions. Apparently, the glam performed by Marilyn Manson impressed the magazine more than the scandalous episodes with Ozzy's participation and his heartfelt ballads. However, the fact that the latter was on the solo list does him a great honor.

According to Classic Rock

Classic Rock approached the issue more creatively than its predecessors, and in 2009 published a list of the best vocalists in rock bands. The rating includes fifty lines, which housed the best of the best. The leader in it is the legendary Freddie Mercury, allowing Queen to call the title of "the best rock band of all time" rightfully theirs.

Opinion Classic Rock

By the way, Classic Rock named Angus Young (AC \ DC) the best rock band guitarist.

The best drummer was named from Led Zeppelin.

According to VH1

The music channel VH1 could not pass by such a huge layer of talents, opportunities and masterpieces, and therefore immediately presented its rating to the readers and fans. The title of "best rock band of all time" went to Led Zeppelin.

The list starts off pretty old school, with Black Sabbath in second place, Jimy Hendrix in third, and AC/DC, Metallica and Nirvana in the next three positions.

How fair are the ratings?

Of course, every fan will stand up for their favorite artist. Nobody argues with this.

It is easy to see that some of the groups in a different order always end up at the top of the lists. It is customary to call them "the best rock bands of all time". The Beatles, Queen, AC/DC, Led Zeppelin, Metallica are guaranteed to be among them. But speaking of the old school, which has been making music happy for a very long time, and, most likely, will please the same amount of time with long-released albums (considering that some of the "oldies" are still in great shape, and just recently released a couple more hits), it is worth mentioning the classic rock ballads Scorpions and the unfairly relegated ratings of Bon Jovi. Among those recognizable by their name alone are the Sex Pistols, Ramones, Pink Floyd and Red Hot Chilli Peppers.

And The Doors and Steppenwolf released hits that are heard even by the regulars of pop radio stations and not fans of hardrock at all.

What about modern?

It can be seen that some of music magazines, while compiling their ratings, leaned in favor of rock, already time-tested, and some were happy to include new projects, somewhere even noting their advantage over the "good old". Already separate popular groups delight with quality music and dare to give hope that they will remain in the hearts of fans for a long time, and perhaps become legends just like their predecessors. After all, right, fans, which include up to three generations, cannot but admire idols.

Who knows, maybe in fifty years 30 Seconds To Mars, My Chemical Romance will still be appreciated, green day, The Pretty Reckless, The Rasmus, Linkin Park. Some of them have already celebrated their 15th anniversary, others have ceased to exist, and still others are completely green, they are no more than five years old. All of them are associated with the rock idols of the new time, new trends, new ideas and solutions. Perhaps they are worth mentioning, if only because they have to compete with the legends.

This compilation contains the most popular music groups and foreign performers, whose performance is better to hear and see live. Nowadays, special technical devices and voice editors can improve the voice of singers to such an extent that it is virtually unrecognizable. Therefore, it is the live performance, the diligence of the performers, dancing, lighting, improvisation and other features that make the musical group truly popular. Keep in mind that the list only includes musicians who are playing live at the moment.

U2

Legendary rock band Needs no introduction - with guitar by The Edge, vocals by Bono, bass by Adam Clayton and drums by Larry Mullen Jr., U2 is one of the most popular bands in the world.
