Foreign rock groups of the eighties. Foreign rock groups of the eighties Rock group of the 90s

At the end of the last century, rock music reached a high level of development, which contributed to a rich stylistic diversity and division into subgenres. Back in the 1980s, many subspecies appeared in the rock direction, the performers of which reached their highest rise only in the 90s. And more and more bands of grunge, heavy metal, alternative metal, nu metal and other varieties of rock appeared in the list of foreign bands. In the first half of the 1990s, punk rock underwent a renaissance, splitting into three main groups. Britpop also flourished during this period.

Alternative rock

After Nirvana's astonishing breakthrough and the unexpected spread of grunge, in the 1990s, alternative rock entered the mainstream and became popular. The list of foreign bands of the 90s that got into the favorable stream of the rock industry, becoming a colossal commercial success, becomes quite long. From the beginning of the 1990s, the biggest record labels actively courted such bands: Pearl Jam (founded in 1990), Alice in Chains (founded in 1987), Dinosaur Jr. (1984-1997, 2005-present), Firehose (1986-1994) and Nirvana (1987-1994), signing multi-million dollar contracts with them.

Alternative rock pioneers R.E.M. in the early years of the 1990s become the most popular in the world. And the RHCP team with the album "Blood Sugar Sex Magic" takes on a special significance, contributing to the growth of alternative rock and drawing the attention of the whole world to this genre.

Combining funk rock with other sub-genres, the Chili Peppers achieved mainstream success with their climactic album Californication. The most popular bands of the 90s in the list of foreign musicians of alternative rock are mainly represented. Some on the list appeared much earlier, but the peak of their success came in the 90s (the year the group was founded is indicated in brackets):

• Creed (1994);
• Foo Fighters (1995);
• Californians Weezer (1992) and The Offspring (1984);
• Goo Goo Dolls (1986) from Buffalo;
• Matchbox Twenty (1996);
• Soundgarden (1984) from Seattle;
• R.E.M. (1980), Soul Asylum from Minnesota (1983);
• singer Liz Phair from Connecticut (on stage since 1991);
• Live (1984) from New York;
• Counting Crows (1991);
• The band's last album, Sublime (1988), brought them unprecedented fame in the US after the band's breakup.

alternative metal

With the beginning of the 90s, a new style of rock music emerged that combined elements of alternative rock with heavy metal. This genre, called "alternative metal", is considered the forerunner of the nu movement, which emerged in the last years of the last century. The style was typical of Helmet, Jane's Addiction and Tool groups. Other foreign bands from the 90s list, mixing elements of funk and hip-hop, created Alternative metal subgenres - funk metal and rap metal.

grunge

Since the early 1990s, grunge bands have gained popularity in the alternative rock subgenre. The music, especially influenced by Nirvana's "straight, unpolished" rock, contributes to the emergence of a grunge youth subculture. The very same variety of this alternative music was born in the Pacific American states of Washington and Oregon in the 1980s. Pearl Jam, Soundgarden Nirvana, Alice in Chains brought alternative rock into 1991, and some of them were quite hostile to the very grunge label they had imposed on music.

Among the voluminous list of foreign bands of the 90s, it is enough to note several of their most important albums:

• Pearl Jam with their first studio album Ten;
• Nirvana with their second and third studio albums Nevermind and In Utero;
• Alice in Chains with their second studio album Dirt;
• Soundgarden with their fourth studio album Superunknown.

The list of foreign groups of the 90s of the grunge sub-style by the middle of the decade had significantly decreased. Some teams broke up, others became less significant and noticeable. The death of Nirvana's Kurt Cobain in 1994, as well as Pearl Jam's touring troubles due to Ticketmaster's highly publicized boycott, marked a decline in the genre's popularity.

Post-grunge

The term post-grunge describes artists who were followers and imitators of grunge. Their music was largely focused on commercial success and euphony, calculated for radio broadcasting. The most successful post-grunge bands in the 90s were Creed, Live, Matchbox Twenty. The Foo Fighters, led by their founder Dave Grohl, a former Nirvana drummer, helped popularize the genre in 1995. It has become one of the most famous rock bands in the US, especially after airing on MTV.

The genre would have another wave of success that came in the mid-nineties. (1995), 3 Doors Down (1996) and others achieved their biggest commercial breakthrough at the very end of the 20th century.

Indie rock

After the general acceptance of alternative rock in the 1990s, the term indie rock became associated with groups and genres that remained underground, that is, opposed to the mainstream and popularization of rock. In the 90s, the list of foreign indie rock bands was headed by Sonic Youth and Pixies. They were followed by: Sleater-Kinney (founded in 1994), Built to Spill (1992) and others.

Ska punk, skate punk and pop punk

Punk rock underwent a resurgence in the 1990s. During this period, ska-punk performers stand out and achieve commercial success: Reel Big Fish (founded in 1992), No Doubt (1986), Sublime (1988). At the end of the decade, interest in these groups wanes.

For a long time, punk rock wasn't commercially viable, so major labels weren't keen on signing punk rock. Until a number of independent record labels appeared, created with only one purpose: to capture their own performance and the music of their friends. Thanks to this circumstance, in 1994, the stunning breakthrough of the Californian skate-punk band Green Day took place. Her album Dookie (released 1994) sold 10 million copies in the United States, with another 10 million sold worldwide. After that, punk rock gains popularity.

In the same period, the album Smash by the skate punk band The Offspring was released. The album set a record for independent label production and sold over 14 million copies worldwide. Until the end of 1994, the albums "Duki" and "Smash" were sold in millions of copies, and the commercial success of these two musical products attracted great interest from the largest labels in skate-pop-punk. Bands like Bad Religion and Blink-182 were offered incredibly lucrative deals by well-known record brands to keep their independent labels.

In 1999, Blink-182 made its breakthrough with the release of Enema of the State, which sold over 15 million copies worldwide. The performers topped the list of top bands in the 1990s with overseas bands achieving multiple platinum status in the US, Canada, Australia, Italy, New Zealand and single platinum status in the United Kingdom. Blink-182 was a huge influence on later artists.

Other varieties of rock music

The list of 1990s foreign rock bands that played subgenre music developed outside of the commercial mainstream should go on. In the early 1990s, thrash metal gained recognition, thanks to the huge success of the Metallica album. It was released by the band of the same name, after which for the first time thrash metal hit the mainstream. This was followed by the explosive Megadeth Countdown to Extinction (1992), a double platinum album by the Megadeth team. Thrash metal bands Anthrax and Slayer, groove metal band Pantera cracked the top 10, followed by albums from regional bands Testament and Sepultura that entered the top 100. In the late nineties, industrial metal became popular. The biggest bands of this sub-genre of the 1990s were Marilyn Manson and Fear.

Each period leaves a special trace in history. So the 90s will be remembered for a long time by musical groups that will remain forever in the memory of the youth of those years.

“The smoke of menthol cigarettes…” and “She has a granite pebble in her chest…” literally all the girls sang. The songs of the groups "Nancy" and "Ladybug" were at every disco, regardless of the age of the audience. The girls wrote many letters with declarations of love to members of male groups, such as Ivanushki International, Tender May, Na-Na, Inveterate Scammers, Hi-Fi. Memories of first love, of course, are accompanied by the memory of the groups "Demo", "Virus", "Guests from the Future", "Brilliant", "Arrows" and "Paints". The first kisses, the first dance, the first relationship - each of these periods had its own unforgettable music, which even after many years will return to the memories of those events.

It is impossible not to recall the cult group "Hands Up". Hundreds of songs about love, clips that you couldn't stop watching, and a whole youth built on the lines of songs. For more than 20 years, the team has been pleasing fans with their work. Soloist Sergei Zhukov is still the main star of the concerts of the 90s.

If the girls squealed from pop groups, then the boys preferred rock. "Cinema", "Chaif", "Time Machine", "Agatha Christie", "Sunday", "Alice" - no doubt contributed to the development of music. Viktor Tsoi remained a rock legend even after his death. Personal attitude to the changes in the country and the people around him are the main themes of his work. It was for freedom and honesty that he received recognition from millions of citizens.

Posters of the bands "Spice girls", "Nirvana", "Scorpions" were a mandatory attribute of the room, depending on the gender of the teenager. Everyone tried to imitate the movements of Michael Jackson - they were so famous. "Backstreet Boys", "Nsync", "Aqua" - began their ascent to the top of the fans' love. Mariah Carey, Britney Spears, Natalia Oreiro and Christina Aguilera have become the standard of female beauty.

Music has been given a special place in the heart of any teenager. Everyone tried to write down the words from their favorite songs in a notebook and learn them. These notebooks were kept very carefully. Boys and girls even changed them and rewrote the texts for themselves.

The disco of the 90s is certainly a popular event now. Dozens of idols gather together and delight the audience with their works. Unfortunately, some of the performers of that time are no longer alive, but it is the songs and videos that make them immortal.
