They drew thousands of people at concerts, won the hearts of fans around the world, drove crowds of girls crazy, they are the kings of rock. Some of them did not live to this day, others still delight their fans with new albums and concerts, but their names are forever inscribed in the history of music.
Masters of Outrageous
Members of the cult group Queen are one of the greatest and replicated performers of the 20th century. They declared themselves in the early seventies and for forty years occupied leading positions in the charts. Throughout their history, they have released five live and fifteen studio albums.
How brave, ambitious and ingenious do you have to be to name your band Queen (queen), create your own logo similar to the coat of arms of the Queen of Great Britain and proclaim yourself the kings of rock? Just such traits had the leader of the group Freddie Mercury - one of the brightest and best soloists in the world of music. To the song "God Save the Queen" at the end of any concert, he invariably went on stage in a crown and mantle, and then threw them at people. The crowd cheered, and the press for ithated, calling such behavior blasphemy.
Sweet King
Elvis Presley is a poor boy from a small town in the south of the United States, who in an instant turned into a superstar. Before him, we can say that rock and roll did not exist. A legendary man who has not received a musical education, but has his own unique style of performance, such that it touched the living. Elvis enjoyed the stage and the audience, appearing at concerts in chic, sparkly outfits and his signature hairdo.
He was nicknamed the "King of Rock 'n' Roll", often shortened simply to "King". To this day, his albums are being reissued, and the number of copies has already exceeded one billion.
Kings of Russian rock
Despite the fact that Russian rock originated under the influence of foreign performers, it is still full of unique, brightest musicians with their own original style of performance and lyrics. Among them, it is difficult to single out one performer or group, because each is exceptional and unique in its own way.
It is worth to name the most outstanding rock musicians who became the kings of Russian rock:
- Kino group (Viktor Tsoi) - legends, idols of several generations. Almost everyone knows the lyrics of their songs by heart. And on the walls of houses in any city in the country you can find the inscription "Tsoi is alive."
- Alisa (Konstantin Kinchev) is one of the oldest rock bands in Russia. The activities of the team coincided with a difficult time for the inhabitants of the country. Perestroika had an impact on songs,music and character of the members.
- Aria (Valery Kipelov) is a commercially successful, popular Soviet and Russian heavy metal band.
It is worth mentioning such groups as "Nautilus Pompilius", "Aquarium", "DDT", "Civil Defense", "Auktyon", "Picnic" and "Zoo".
