It is well known that the appearance in the West of such groups as the Beatles, the Rolling Stones, the Scorpions had a huge impact on both world and domestic pop music culture. The difference lies in the fact that Western bands, starting their careers, started to float freely, choosing the recording studios that suited them the most. In the USSR, the situation was much more complicated. The legendary Russian rock originates in the late 60s and early 70s and becomes almost a dominant trend. Almost every school, both in large and small cities, has its own rock band or vocal-instrumental ensemble (hereinafter VIA). The most talented of the guys receive a good musical education and dream of starting a professional career. This is where the difficulties begin. The fact is that official VIAs have the opportunity to record discs at the Melodiya monopoly studio, give concerts, and participate in television programs. But they have no right to perform own songs, if they are not members of the Union of Composers. Rock bands sing whatever they want, but do not get venues for performances and are forced to release their music as samizdat, give concerts in apartments and in provincial clubs remote from cities. Such well-known rock bands as "Time Machine", "Slavs", "Scythians", "Skomorokhi" went through this. The censorship was the strictest. You could easily fall under the article, for unauthorized concerts. No matter what, musical groups in this difficult time for Russian music are growing like mushrooms. There are such truly wonderful teams as "Gems", "Ariel", " Funny boys”, “Flowers”, “Earthlings”, etc. The lyrical compositions of these groups are amazing: they are simple and at the same time piercingly melodic. No wonder they are loved and remembered to this day. So in the 70s VIA and rock bands exist in parallel, whose members often run from one camp to another and back. The 80s are famous for the fact that at that time 1 rock club appeared in Leningrad and even real rock festivals began to be held. The purpose of these events is a kind of streamlining of the rock movement, which at times is really out of control. The TV show “Musical Ring” appears, in which some rock groups are allowed to perform. The second powerful wave of Russian rock is rolling in: the rock Olympus of the Kino, Alisa and others literally blow up. The style of their performance is defined as “new way”. "Agatha Christie" begins to play its famous psychedelic music. At the peak of popularity - "Nautilus Pompilius" and "Zoo". Time runs, the order in the country is changing. Rock musicians even manage to take part in the filming of films, which, by the way, are very good and later became cult (“Needle”, “Assa”, “Burglar”). Separate VIA and rock groups are still successfully performing, gathering large halls. They also perform new compositions, talented and professional. But for some reason, the frantic delight of the audience is already a million times listened to songs. It seems that all the best musicians created in the Soviet era.

Soviet singer Polish origin. The peak of popularity was the 50s - 60s. Her song "Lilies of the Valley" is still loved by our grandparents. During her creative career, she sang songs to the verses of many famous poets, including deep patriotic works.

- Soviet singer of the 60s Jewish origin. Gained fame thanks to the song for the movie "Thirst". The first performer of the famous song "Tenderness".

- Soviet singer of the 60s - 70s. After international festival in Sopot gained fame in the USSR. Her songs "Solar Circle" and "Black Cat" are still covered by modern pop stars. In the early 70s, Tamara was blacklisted by performers, which crossed out her further solo career.

- Well, who does not know Lyudmila Markovna? And she started her career as a singer. Glory to Lyudochka came after the premiere of the film "Carnival Night". After the song "5 Minutes" was performed, the whole country fell in love with this girl with an aspen waist. Lyudmila Gurchenko sang songs, acted in films and played in the theater until her death.

- Soviet singer of Polish origin. The unusual accent of the singer attracted with its unique charm. Edita Stanislavna literally burst onto the stage with the song "Red Bus" in a foreign language (for the first time). For a long creative activity, Edita Stanislavna recorded a large number of songs that are very popular among the people.

- Soviet singer and actress of the 60s - 70s. The party leaders of the country were literally in love with the singer. Her beauty and unique singing style played an important role in the success of the gifted singer. Olga's popularity came with the jazz orchestra of Anatoly Badkhen.

- Leading Soviet singer of the 60s. "Moscow windows inextinguishable light", "It's good that there is in the world" was first performed by Irina with her permanent ensemble "Spring". Creative activity the singer stretched for 35 years, during which many popular and beloved songs were recorded.

Speaking about the songs of the 2000s, one cannot fail to note the main, and perhaps the decisive role of popular music in shaping tastes and music lovers. It's hard to believe, but popular music is much more influential than it seems: for a successful hit, many factors must be taken into account - both relevant in this moment trends that have become classics of the canons of past years. How else to explain the ever-increasing number of songs that focus on the use of samples - small fragments of golden hits of the past?

This was fully manifested in the work of Madonna ( Madonna), in 2005 with the release of a new album, once again changed her image and turned into a disco diva. The title track Hung Up meets two pop eras at once: a golden classic from ABBA and the trendiest sound of those days. The interweaving of popular music at its best with new trends, successful stylizations and imitation is one of the defining trends in musical creativity in these years.

The beginning of this musical era began with a craze for everything Latin American - in the wake of success, such performers as the brilliant guitarist and composer Carlos Santana ( Carlos Santana), Spanish handsome Enrique Iglesias ( Enrique Iglesias), Puerto Rican sex bomb Jennifer Lopez ( Jennifer Lopez) and her compatriot Ricky Martin ( Ricky Martin), as well as the notorious Christina Aguilera ( Christina Aguilera), who repeatedly turned to her Ecuadorian roots to conquer a Latin audience.

African-American music is also on the wave: hard hip-hop, sensual soul, groovy rhythm and blues. Alisha Keys becomes key figures ( Alicia Keys), Kanye West ( Kanye West), Eminem ( Eminem), Beyoncé ( Beyonce) Rihanna ( Rihanna). There is also a flourishing trend of mixing genres: popular music and, for example, rhythm and blues. Among the most successful combinators: groups Black eyed Peas and The Pussycat Dolls.

Popular music in its purest form is also in constant demand: Britney Spears ( Britney Spears ), Justin Timberlake ( Justin Timberlake), Mariah Carey ( Mariah Carey), Katy Perry ( Katy Perry), Kylie Minogue ( Kylie Minogue) and debuted in 2008 Lady Gaga ( Lady Gaga) are the most successful performers in this regard.

One should not, however, forget about rock, although not so popular, but still having its undeniable importance. This genre is mostly represented by groups green day , cold play, U2, white stripes, Nine Inch Nails and Bon Jovi. It is worth noting that in the 2000s there were very few new rock bands that would become universally recognized world stars, the most popular bands of these years were formed in the 90s, 80s or even in the 70s (for example, U2).

In Russia, at this time, graduates are capturing the stage " Star Factory": groups" Factory "," Silver», « Tootsie" and " Roots», Natalia Podolskaya, Nikita Malinin, Yulia Savicheva. Of course, there are also groups that made their way without the help of this TV project: the group " Uma Thurman», « Beasts", not losing popularity" Diskoteka Avaria", singer MakSim. Nevertheless, the most popular new performer can rightfully be recognized as the winner of Eurovision Dima Bilan. You should not write off the performers of the older generation: Valery,Alla Pugacheva,Philip Kirkorov, still releasing successful albums and gathering full halls of fans.

Songs of the 90s: eurodance, pop ballads and unforgettable rock

In music, it rarely happens that a certain era is literally embodied in everything: in rhythms, arrangements, melodies, lyrics, even voices and the performers themselves. The nineties in music - in their own way great period who gave us many great performers and many great songs.

Unfortunately, it is the nineties that are so famous for the so-called one-song singers, or simply speaking, one-day singers, and this situation is developing both on the Western and on the Russian stage. It is unlikely that such names as Haddaway will say something to anyone now ( Haddaway), John Scatman ( John Scatman), Group Snap!, but, nevertheless, everyone from the first notes will recognize the songs What is Love?, The Scatman's World, Rhytm Is A Dancer and other hits of any discos.

The real embodiment of the pop music of the nineties, especially at the beginning of this decade, was such a genre as eurodance - it seems to be popular music, it seems to be hip-hop, it seems to be electronic. In general, the combination of these elements gave a simply fantastic result: musicians from all over the world, and especially from Europe, do not stop supplying the world charts with their songs, the sound of which cannot be confused with anything. scooter, 2 Unlimited, Eiffel 65, culture beat, Robert Miles ( Robert Miles) – true heroes this period, almost forgotten now.

In the 90s, touching, tender and romantic ballads are more popular than ever - a genre that fits perfectly into popular music, as well as into soul and rhythm and blues. First of all, female performers win, singers with magnificent strong voices - Mariah Carey ( Mariah Carey), Whitney Houston ( Whitney Houston ), Celine Dion ( Celine Dion), Toni Braxton ( Tony Braxton), Patricia Kaas ( Patricia Kaas ). Do not lose relevance and singers, such as Bryan Adams ( Bryan Adams), George Michael ( George Michael, Elton John ( Elton John ), Michael Bolton ( Michael Bolton), Eric Clapton ( Eric Clapton).

In the second half of the 90s, pop idols of a new generation appeared - groups N'Sync(and subsequently separated from them Justin Timberlake ( Justin Timberlake)) and Backstreet Boys, pop princess Britney Spears ( Britney Spears) and Christina Aguilera ( Christina Aguilera). Continues a mega-successful career and Madonna ( Madonna), who concedes to no one the throne of the queen of popular music and the trendsetter of all fashionable musical trends. Michael Jackson's career is taking shape Michael Jackson ): incredibly popular in the first half of the decade, the singer is clearly losing ground by the early 2000s.

Rock music remains, as in all other times, in demand: chart, tour and, of course, the commercial success of bands such as U2,R.E.M.,Nirvana,Duran Duran,Bon Jovi,Aerosmith,Red Hot Chili Peppers, speaks for itself.

In Russia, this musical period became one of the most interesting: after the collapse of the USSR, a stream of new music poured into the country, a completely new sound, new trends, new performers, genres and styles. Memories of the popular music of those years now bring a smile, but in general the result was far from worse than that of Western performers. Both songs and videos were created with great imagination, which made Russian music peculiar and interesting. Valeriy Meladze,Angelica Varum,Philip Kirkorov,Irina Allegrova, « Ivanushki International» ,"Bravo","Nancy" and "White Eagle" become the main performers of this decade on the national stage.

Songs of the 80s: glamour, disco and synth-pop

Some music critics associate the eighties with bad music which is fundamentally wrong. Of course, from a position modern man some techniques, arrangements, rhythms and voices that were popular at that time may seem naive and in some ways even funny, but this time invariably causes nostalgia, which is most clearly manifested through the wonderful songs of those years.

Of course, the most successful genre of the time was undoubtedly popular music. However, it is safe to say that there have been so many popular offshoots of pop in any musical decade.

First of all, the eighties are associated with disco, the performers of which come mainly from Europe. Legendary Swedes ABBA, French pop duo Ottawan and a singer named F.R. David, Germans Modern Talking and Goombay Dance Band, Englishwoman Kim Wilde ( Kim Wilde) and her compatriots Culture Club- these names and groups can be listed endlessly, because everyone will remember at least one hit from their repertoire.

Creativity occupies a special place in the structure of disco. Italian performers, incredibly popular in Europe and, of course, in the USSR. by the most famous performers italo disco areas become a trio Ricchi and Poveri, duo spouses Al Bano ( Al Bano) and Romina Power ( Romina power), Gazibo performers ( Gazebo), Toto Cutugno ( Toto Cutugno) and the incredibly charismatic singer and actor Adriano Celentano ( Adriano Celentano).

Performers from the UK enrich the genre of popular music with new trends: there are such types of it as Hi-NRG (the main characters of this direction are the band Dead or Alive), new wave (represented by groups Adam And The Ants and vision), and, of course, synth-pop. Subsequently, this genre will have a great influence on the formation of such trends as electroclash and synth rock. The main teams working in this direction are Pet Shop Boys, Depeche Mode and Eurythmics.

However, in the 80s, heavier genres were also popular: rock and even heavy metal. Hits are songs from groups such as Queen,Status Quo, Genesis, Scorpions, Dire Straits, Def Leppard and many others.

On the domestic stage in those years, they mostly shone Alla Pugacheva together with Yuri Antonov, and in the late eighties - Vladimir Kuzmin, Igor Talkov, Alexander Serov, the group " Mirage" and " Tender May". Various vocal and instrumental ensembles are also popular - “ Verases», « Flowers», « earthlings», « Funny boys», « Bravo», « Yalla", as well as rock bands" Movie», « Nautilus Pompilius», « Agatha Christie».

Songs of the 70s: rock, rock and more rock

The seventies in music can easily be called the "golden age of rock" in all its variety of genres. In many ways, of course, glam rock is leading here, led by David Bowie (David Bowie), with their androgynous image and excellent creativity, which broke the usual ideas about music. It is impossible not to mention such British teams as T. Rex, Sweet and Slade and about the American Suzi Quatro, whose songs made up a large part of all the glam of the seventies.

It was at this time that "heavy" types of rock were more popular than ever: hard rock, heavy metal, as well as thoughtful and quirky progressive rock. English teams are also at the forefront of these genres: deep purple, Uriah Heep, Led Zeppelin , Nazareth, Black Sabbath. The main performers from prog-rock were Pink Floyd. stand apart Queen, whose work is so diverse that it is simply impossible to drive it into the framework of one genre.

The influence of rock on the tastes of music lovers is also manifested in the fact that British composer Andrew Lloyd Webber ( Andrew Lloyd Webber) writes a rock opera " jesus christ superstar", With resounding success held at many concert venues around the world.

In the 70s, there are two tragic events. Two legends are dying out: one figuratively, and the other literally. It's about about the breakup in 1970 of the group The Beatles and the death in 1977 of the King of Rock and Roll Elvis Presley ( Elvis Presley). Nevertheless, the Beatles should be given their due: none of the musicians retired, but only with new force began to create, giving the world many more beautiful songs.

In 1974, such a genre of popular music as disco was born - some count this musical era with the victory of the Swedish quartet ABBA at the Eurovision Song Contest with the song waterloo. Accelerating more and more over the years, disco really blew up the music world in the eighties, changing towards a harder electronic sound, then intertwining with popular African American music, then returning to the classic pop sound. Talking about the disco of the seventies, one immediately comes to mind such performers as Boney M., Donna Summer ( Donna Summer), Eruption and Bee Gees.

He is fond of the world and the exotic sound of the music of the Caribbean Islands (primarily reggae, presented by Bob Marley ( Bob Marley )), the same African American (soul, blues, rhythm and blues, partly jazz), as well as Latin American music.

In the USSR, the main themes from films become the most popular. The creations of vocal and instrumental ensembles from all over the Soviet Union are known and loved. The main star of domestic popular music lights up - Alla Pugacheva. Singers from republics friendly to the USSR are not forgotten: for example, Poland ( Marylia Rodovich) and Romania ( Dan Spataru). European - French are also loved (Mireille Mathieu ( Mireille Mathieu), Michel Sardou ( Michel Sardou)) and Italian (Adriano Celentano ( Adriano Celentano)) performers.

Rock and pop, or the best songs of the 60s

So, left in the past. No, it cannot be said that he was completely forgotten - he simply ceased to be a banner for the youth and a “red rag” for the older generation. They got used to it. Of course, the best compositions created by Chuck Berry and Little Richard, still collected full halls Elvis Presley, but new unusual intonations and rhythms have already begun to appear in the general song-sound mass of the early sixties. It is noteworthy that this time the source of innovation was Europe, not the United States. Europe, or rather, one European state, Great Britain, began to set the tone in popular music.

Liverpool rock band The Beatles first moved to conquer America - and conquered the whole world. Within a short time, both Old and New World were engulfed in Beatlemania. But what is so special offered by self-taught musicians to listeners spoiled by impressions?

The "British Invasion" gave a powerful creative impetus to musicians from all countries and continents, and as a result, today we can enjoy the most diverse rock music: classic rock, hard rock, surf rock, punk rock, folk rock, baroque rock , psychedelic rock and dozens of derivative genres.
One of them, the so-called "garage rock" is the music that was originally played by backyard rock bands. Just going to teenagers, young people, and played for fun. Some researchers attribute this kind of rock to the folk music of the 20th century.

Starting from the mid-60s, rock bands began to form in the Soviet Union, mainly among students. From such a school-student VIA subsequently "ripened" one of the most famous Soviet rock bands Time Machine.

In parallel with all kinds of rock in the sixties, another very popular direction was rapidly developing: pop music. Its origins are in the distant past: it is folk song, a medieval ballad, an urban romance, later a musical and a musical show. Vocal, human voice- that's the main thing for this style. Musical instruments, whether it be a modest ensemble or a whole orchestra, only accompany the singer. Since one of the sources of pop music is folklore, pop standard songs often have a strong national flavor. Sometimes such music is simply called pop music. The best pop songs of the 60s were performed Frank Sinatra and Louis Armstrong(USA), Salvatore Adamo and Mireille Mathieu(France), Muslim Magomayev and Iosif Kobzon(USSR) and many more wonderful musicians in different countries peace.

The best songs of the 50s: under the sign of rock and roll

The fifties of the last century entered the history of popular music as the period of the birth and heyday of a new style, rock and roll.
In America, the unstoppable rise of this "youth rebellion" music came in the mid-fifties. By the end of the decade American rock and roll somewhat matured and settled down, but by that time Europe had already taken over the rock baton. In the sixties, it is the Old World that will give rise to that multifaceted and multi-valued phenomenon in musical culture, which will be called the short word "rock".

Musicians who managed to find the right intonation became idols younger generation fifties. Most of them had no professional musical education: the best songs of the 50s in the style of rock and roll were composed and sung by self-taught. Here they are, these worldwide famous heroes Great American Generational Confrontation:

Elvis Presley: a white boy from a poor family who made friends with teenagers from the "black" neighborhoods, and from them he also adopted the style of performance and style of dress. 1954 - the year of the appearance of his first hit " That's All Right Mama».

Chuck Berry: Negro musician, one of the few who dared to mix intonations of "black" blues and "white" country in his songs. His 1958 super hit " Johnny B. Goode was subsequently called the gold standard of rock and roll.

Bill Haley(white guitarist and vocalist) and his group "Comets": composition " Rock Around the Clock”, recorded by them for the soundtrack to the film “School Jungle” (1955), paved the way for rock and roll to the European listener.

Little Richard: black singer and pianist; his excited and even somewhat hysterical manner of performance gave rise to a lot of imitators, on the one hand, and on the other hand, became the reason for the appearance of a huge number of parodies. His most famous single is " Tutti Frutti"(1955).

The Platters: a group of three young men and one girl, all African-Americans. They worked in the style of doo-wop (vocal rock and roll). Aria " Smoke Gets In Your Eyes» performed by the Platters quartet in 1959 broke all records of popularity.

Rock and roll quickly broke into the measured, well-fed life of post-war America, revived the musical atmosphere of Europe, but, of course, did not replace all other musical genres.

At the end of the fifties, both in the New and in the Old World, the exotic music of the distant oceanic provinces gained particular popularity. The sounds of the ukulele and ethnic percussion instruments made the listener dream of virgin jungles and Pacific beaches.

In the same years, the whole world learned and fell in love with the Peruvian Imu Sumac. From nature, she inherited talent, an independent character and a truly unique voice: deep, strong, beautiful, with a very wide range. Her work is difficult to attribute to any style (although “mambo” is most often mentioned). The one and only - you can’t say more precisely about this singer.

The audience has always liked Italian and Latin American tunes. Perhaps the best songs of the 50s in the Latin style are " Volare" and " La bamba».
Song " Volare"performed by the Italian Domenico Modugno in 1958, she earned several international awards, including American Prize Grammy. Mexican Folk Melody La bamba” arranged by Ritchie Valens was included in the list of “100 best songs rock 'n' roll."

The World Festival of Youth and Students, held in Moscow in 1957, allowed the Soviet public to get acquainted with new trends in popular music, including rock and roll. However, the festival died down and ended, and the policy of the party and government remained unchanged: the Soviet people no need for unhealthy sensations. The cultural officials had no doubts that temperamental and eccentric music combined with "obscene" movements is an unhealthy phenomenon.
Rock music will still find its way to the land of the Soviets, but this will happen later. Much later.

The best songs of the 40s: film and TV screen music

Video materials that allow us not only to hear the music of the 40s, but also to see the best performers of this decade, are technically imperfect. However, they are documents of the era, with their help you can feel the special atmosphere of those years.

The beginning of the 40s is, of course, the Second World War. The strengthening of patriotic sentiments led to the appearance in 1941 of peppy march songs: We are masters of war" (USSR), " thank you america"(USA).

The best Soviet songs of the 40s related to the theme of the war are the harsh heroic " Holy war"and lyrical" Dark night».

Meanwhile, even in those formidable forties people tried at least for a while to “switch off” from worries. Comedy films, lyrical songs and even comic couplets were unusually popular.

1944 German film Girl of my dreams" With Marikoy Rökk in leading role went around all the screens of Europe, and after the war it was shown even in the USSR. True, in the Soviet Union, “obscene” episodes were cut out of this picture, including famous song“There are no lonely people at night” (“ In der Nacht ist der Mensch nicht gern alleine»).

After the war, America began to explore new genres in cinema. If in the thirties short musical films appeared on the screens, then the forties were marked by the birth of the genre of "ultra-short films" - soundies. These progenitors of music videos migrated from cinemas to television screens by the end of the decade - after all, it was then that regular television broadcasts began in the United States. The best songs of the 1940s, the best compositions performed by the most popular pop and jazz orchestras became available literally “with home delivery”. Every viewer could see beautiful eyes Deanna Durbin, dazzling smile Louis Armstrong, incendiary step Fred Astaire and dexterous fingers of a baby pianist Frank Robinson.

Western Europe and Soviet republics, badly affected in that bloody war, still had to go this way.

The most popular songs of the 30s: cinematic music

As always, music helped to distract people from anxieties and worries. However, all the best, all the most beloved songs of the 30s came to the audience not from the stage, not from the stage, as it used to be before, but from the movie screen. In the 1920s, cinema was nicknamed "the great mute". In the 30s, he ceased to be "dumb", sang, spoke, and gradually turned into an independent branch of the entertainment industry.

America has led the way in transforming film production into a film industry. Comedy, drama, sketch - any play could be turned into a movie, and even better a movie musical. Composer names Irwin Berlin, Jerome Kern, Cole Porter, especially distinguished in the field of musical cinema, by the mid-30s, all moviegoers knew.

"Old" Europe, not wanting to give up its position as a stronghold of world culture, tried its best to keep up with the young and energetic overseas neighbor. It was in the thirties that the formation of national cinematographic schools began, it was then that the most popular actors began to be called "stars". The gramophone records, on which the most popular songs of the 30s were recorded, brought to us the voices of the "stars" of that time: Marlene Dietrich(Germany), Edith Piaf(France), Jan Kiepura(Poland).

The best songs of the 30s, created in the USSR, were also part of film music. Composer names Isaak Dunayevsky and actresses Lyubov Orlova appeared in the credits of almost all the iconic Soviet films of that time.

And, of course, jazz! The music of the 1930s is largely jazz. In the Soviet Union it is "song jazz" Leonida Utesova, in America - instrumental ensembles and orchestras, vocals and dance. The most important figures in jazz music – Cab Calloway, Benny Goodman, Louis Armstrong- declared themselves precisely in the thirties of the last century.
