Eighties for Russian show business very interesting period. Soviet foundations gradually ceased to operate, and extraordinary and talented young men - singers of the 80s, Russians - appeared on the stage. The list can be continued almost endlessly. It is also interesting that real masters and representatives of the new stage often met on the same stage. Also during these years there was a flourishing of rock culture, which had previously been within strict limits.
Legends of the stage
The founders of modern pop music were the singers of the 70s and 80s (Russian). Their list includes well-known names:
- Vladimir Presnyakov (senior) in the late 70s did a dizzying career in the group "Gems". In 1987 he left big stage to help his son take his first steps in show business.
- In the 80s, Valery Leontyev dressed more modestly, but he was already famous thanks to his collaboration with Raymond Pauls. At the end of the decade, sales of Valery's sound carriers broke all records.
- The peak of Lev Leshchenko’s career was the closing of the Olympics in Moscow. Not many singers of the 80s (Russian), the list of which is almost limitless, can boast of such an honor.
Other worthy performers of that time can be included in the same list. Joseph Davydovich Kobzon, for example, by the eighties had already become a vocal teacher and was releasing records with recordings of retro songs, but the peak of his career came in the seventies.
Forgotten Artists
Some Russian singers of the 80s, a list of which will be given below, are now unreasonably forgotten:
- In the late eighties, the USSR was shocked by a group in which a pupil of the orphanage, Yuri Shatunov, performed. His colleague Andrei Razin competently promoted the project, using rumors, doubles and other techniques. Many years later, Yuri was never able to repeat his former success.
- Viktor Saltykov performed as part of the Electroclub group in the eighties, but he is more often known as the father of Irina Saltykova.
- Sergey Minaev became the founder of discos and club movement, few people remember him today.
These performers were consigned to oblivion only because of the rapidly changing stage of that time. The Russian singers of the 80s did not expect such a fate. The list of forgotten stars of the 90s will be much longer, since many then performed one hit and disappeared. Now stars of the 80s and 90s often perform on national teams nostalgic concerts dedicated to that time.
Representatives of rock clubs
The singers of the 80s (Russian) are not all forgotten. The list of men who performed in the rock music genre consists only of cult personalities who are still active on stage:
- Vladimir Kuzmin began his career in the late 70s in the Carnival group, but reached the peak of popularity in the 80s with the Dynamik group. He began to be recognized in every home in 1986, when he performed in a duet with Alla Pugacheva. In 2017, he presented the album “Roker-3. Closing of the season."
- Valery Kipelov began his career in the group “Leisya Pesnya” in 1980. When the team didn't pass state program and closed, he was invited to the group “Aria”. Since 1985, he performed there. In 2017, he performed at “Invasion” with his own group “Kipelov”, which was created in 2002, when Valery left his previous team due to disagreements.
- Yuri Shevchuk became famous thanks to his hits “Rain”, “Autumn”, “That’s all...”. Since 1980 he has been the leader of the DDT group. He is distinguished by opposition views and does not accept any government. In 2017, he became the headliner of the “Invasion” festival, performed for 2.5 hours and was well received by the public.
- The following singers of the 80-90s became an unusual phenomenon for the stage. The list of “Russian cult rockers of the 80s” is completed by two performers: the Samoilov brothers - Vadim and Gleb. Not long ago, their creative paths diverged, Gleb became the leader of the Matrixx group and in 2017 will delight the public with a new album, and Vadim is the President's Plenipotentiary Envoy. He regularly performs at Russian venues and has participated in concerts in Syria and Donbass. In recent times, the Saimolovs performed in the style of “rock decadence”, which is why they differ from those listed above.
The eighties became a golden age for Russian rock. Most of the idols of even modern fans of this genre came from this period. The list of singers can include Grebenshchikov, Shklyarsky, Makarevich, Kinchev and many others.
Lost Talents
The listed lists cannot be considered complete, since they do not contain two surnames - Tsoi and Talkov. Probably, these singers would be more popular than others, because now their songs are remembered with special warmth. For many fans of their work, it is sad that both performers died tragically at the height of their careers. Viktor Tsoi died in a car accident, and Igor Talkov was shot backstage concert hall in the early nineties.
Tsoi was known as the herald of perestroika. His songs became iconic for many; indeed, the youth of the USSR wanted “change.” Igor Talkov was also a singer of perestroika; his songs were performed during the GKChP putsch. They were more lyrical than Victor's. Talkov’s most famous songs are “Chistye Prudy” and “I’ll be back.”
Unlike its foreign “brother”, Russian rock did not develop so rapidly. On his way, he encountered misunderstanding, rejection and even prohibitions. Despite this, it was possible to form a fairly powerful movement that unites freedom-loving, bright and extraordinary personalities.
Reasons for popularity
Today, Russian rock of the 80s is loved and popular among our compatriots. This kind of music carries a special energy. It is noisy, loud, aggressive, and sometimes, on the contrary, melodic and peaceful. Rock goes beyond the generally accepted canons, breaks the rules and gets rid of stereotypes. It is quite difficult to characterize this musical direction in a few words, because at a certain stage of development and penetration into the masses it turned into a subculture, a certain worldview, a line of behavior, thinking and life. Fans of rock music often dress uniquely and look a little different than everyone else. Do you want to download for free? new collection Russian rock? There is something interesting on our portal! Here you can listen to your favorite compositions online, download new releases and hits of past years, and get acquainted with the masterpieces of beginning performers. Russian rock of the 80s is presented on our music resource with compositions by the best bands, such asFrom the author: “In the second half of the 20th century, rock music began to be played in the USSR. Due to censorship, the few groups of that time were underground. By the eighties, unspoken rock movements began to form.”
Already in the late nineties, Russian rock became an integral part of Russian (I don’t like this word) culture. Here are the best, in my opinion, rock bands in our country.
At the beginning I will try to formulate a definition of Russian rock, although no, not a definition, but what?
Russian rock is a special direction in Russian (Soviet) rock music, which has acquired an appearance completely different from the rock of all other countries. Why? Perhaps the reason was some isolation of the performers from the rest musical world, or maybe national mentality, or maybe the CIA - Seva Novgorodtsev and Co. - but in the end, Russian rock became what it is (then, of course).
What are its features?
He is antagonistic to the existing government. The concerts were held secretly, and the recordings were recorded on home tape recorders. It was easier to get a rare “homemade” cassette than to buy an album of your favorite artist in a store. Basically the 5th column...Russian rock was greatly influenced by Western rock music, however, it did not completely determine its appearance. The main differences are that in Russian rock main role the text plays (protest text), and not the music at all. It can be said that Russian rock generally has little in common with rock music, as it is usually understood. The lyrics tell about Russian reality, these are high-quality lyrics, and they are very poetic. There is virtually no sex or frivolity typical of Western rockers. Russian rock is not even the first, but the second derivative of Western rock.
Well, here's an example. There was no more social (rather political and material) antagonism in the understanding of the old “Soviet” rockers - there were no more rockers. Makarevich only confirms the rules, although why talk badly about a Komsomol member treated kindly Soviet power about a ruble (in the USSR) millionaire.
Well, at the end of the preface, we can say that in the area of text, Russian rock inherits not Western models, but domestic poetry, only this happens in a depressive environment, where musicians are forced to hide underground. They do not dream of popularity; the main thing for them is to sincerely express their position. All this leaves an imprint on the very essence of Russian rock. This is why many music lovers say that today Russian rock no longer exists, because the conditions that defined it are a thing of the past. Modern rock performers in Russia are closer to Western rock than to Russian. This does not mean that Russian rock is worse or better than Western rock, it’s just different.
It is interesting to note that “real” Russian rock is listened to almost only in Russia. It has always been this way: and in times Soviet Union, and after it. The fact is that from a musical point of view, it really is not always something interesting. And only this very soul can understand the texts containing the inconsistencies and features of the “mysterious Russian soul”. Abroad, fans of Russian rock are, for the most part, immigrants.
The most famous and classic performers in Russian rock include Viktor Tsoi, the DDT group, Mike Naumenko, Egor Letov, Yanka Diaghileva, Boris Grebenshchikov, the Alisa group, Andrei Makarevich and others. Some generations in Russia literally grew up on this music, so Russian rock is often perceived as a special phenomenon of Russian culture, which is too deeply “ingrained” into people, just like, for example, the poetry of the Silver Age...
Let's start… Alice
In 1983, the Leningrad rock group “Alice” was created. In 1985, the group "Alice" released its first album, "Energy". Already in 1987, the team recorded the popular album “BlokAda”. Throughout its history creative path"Alice" has released 17 albums. These days, the band is working on recording new songs, and actively performs as a headliner at various festivals.
Movie
In 1981, under the leadership of Viktor Tsoi, Oleg Valinsky and Alexei Rybin, the rock group “Kino” was created. Over nine years, the musicians recorded more than 100 songs, as well as an incredible number of unofficial bootlegs. The albums “Blood Type” and “A Star Called the Sun,” released in 1987 and 1989, gained particular popularity. After sudden death Viktor Tsoi was released in a car accident last album“Black Album”, after which the group ended its existence.
DDT
In 1980, Yuri Shevchuk created the rock group “DDT” in Ufa. He is the constant leader of the group and the author of most of the songs. The group's name comes from chemical substance dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane, which is used in the fight against insects. The entire creative path of the group is divided into two stages. In 1980-1997, the group worked in such genres as hard rock, Russian rock and folk rock. Since 1987, notes of industrial rock, indie rock and alternative rock have increasingly been heard in the works of DDT.
Agatha Christie
The founders of the rock group “Agatha Christie” were V. Samoilov, A. Kozlov and P. May. Dramatic delivery and decadent lyrics distinctive feature team. In their musical compositions the group combined various musical styles, such as gothic rock, alternative rock, post-punk and art rock.

The group has won numerous awards, and the words from their songs are still quoted in literature and cinema.
Time Machine
In Moscow in May 1969 (I highly doubt it) the legendary Soviet rock band “Time Machine” was created. At its origins were Sergei Kawagoe and Andrei Makarevich. In their music, the group combined several genres at the same time: blues, rock and roll, rock and art song. During its existence, the band has released 11 official albums, 7 live albums and 11 singles, shot 28 video clips, and also received many prizes and awards. “Time Machine” is one of the few groups that has managed to maintain its popularity to this day.

From the beginning of its foundation until today, the Chaif group has released 15 studio albums, 5 acoustic and 4 live albums, and their videography includes 22 videos. Today "Chaif" is one of the most popular and famous rock bands from the former USSR.
Aria
In 1985 in Moscow, V. Dubinin and V. Kholstinin created a new rock group “Aria”. The newly formed band immediately attracted the attention of many listeners with a new and unusual genre - heavy metal. For all my musical history"Aria" released 11 studio albums. It was “Aria” that became one of the few domestic rock bands, which managed to gain recognition even abroad. In 2007, the group won the Fuzz Award.
King and the Clown
In Leningrad, Mikhail Gorshenev founded the group “King and Jester” (1988). The highlight of the group was the unusual presentation of their works - fabulous, historical, mystical images were reflected in the following styles: horror punk, folk, hard rock and punk rock. During their creative journey, the group has released about 20 video clips. The image of the group rested on its founder and leader M. Gorshenov, who died in 2013, after which the group ended its creative journey in 2014.
Resurrection
In Moscow in 1979, under the leadership of A. Romanov, the rock group “Resurrection” was created. Musical works The bands are a mixture of blues, rock, art rock and country. But since 1983, after the release of several successful albums, the band took a ten-year rest and reappeared on stage only in 1994. In general, over the entire history of the group, 5 studio albums were released. And the songs of “Resurrection” were repeatedly performed by other artists.
Crematorium
In Moscow in 1983, Armen Grigoryan created popular group"Crematorium". The group gave their first concerts in small clubs and private apartments. The group gained popularity in 1985 with the release of their first studio album. The Crematorium group skillfully combines various musical styles: folk, blues, art rock, rock and roll and psychedelic rock.

The group performs its works in such styles as thrash metal, speed metal, crossover thrash. During their entire creative journey, the group released 15 studio albums.
