The best rock bands of the nineties and naught

Most young people, especially in the West, even from the distant "acid" seventies answered questions about happiness, a simple and concise phrase: "Sex, drugs and rock 'n' roll." Rock has become an integral part of world culture. The best rock bands are erected in the face of saints and are untouchable, while others ingloriously earn money by playing on the feelings of people. After all, as Lisa Simpson said: "There is nothing easier than to drive a teenager into depression." It will be just about this galaxy of "holy rockers", although to call them righteous and sinless hardly anyone will turn their tongue.

When "Pepsi" and "Kola" forced the young people to take everything from life, and "Nike" demanded "just to do it", a lot of musicians appeared on the stage. Like a kaleidoscope, the best rock bands in the world were poured with different sounds, themes, extreme images. Separately, I would like to single out two groups: "Nirvana" and "Radiohead".

Autistic and depressive soloist of "Nirvana" Kurt Cobain popularized a new direction in music - grunge. He delighted the ears of young listeners with his protest, melancholy, minimalism and "dirty" guitar sound. Famous hit Smells like teen spirit is still present in the playlists of many teenagers. The best rock bands in the grunge style of that time are also Smashing Pumpkins, Sonic Youth and Pixies. A little later, in the mid-nineties, On the scene appeared no less talented music experimenters from England - Radiohead. At the moment the band has already released eight albums. Three of them received the Grammy Award in the nomination "Best Album of the Year". Their music is distinguished by depressive and philosophical notes with magnificent instrumental and electronic accompaniment. The song Paranoid Android can fully be considered the anthem of the generation of "zero", entangled and attacked with advertising slogans and smiles, consumer ideology and a vain search for the meaning of life. Their god, like the god Nietzsche, died, the "big brother" is defeated by Gorbachev, and his parents still live in times of a "red" ideology. Unfortunately, for Russian fans, the probability of an eminent group's arrival is reduced to zero, as musicians refuse to go to Russia because of the authorities and state policy in relation to nature.

Among the heavy music and hard rock are the best rock bands such as Metallica, Slipknot, Limp Bizkit, Marilyn Manson, Pantera, Korn, System of a Down and many others.

But rock is not just a protest and an aggressive reminder that life is far from working in the office, cinematic episodes, loving reciprocity and honest power. His well-deserved recognition was also received by pop punk. For pop punk, all life is a road from one get-together to another. On the way, sad, lyrical moments can also come across, but in general all this turns into one big party. The best rock bands of this direction are Offspring, Green day, Blink182 and Sum41. Female audience with the sound of guitar distortion and love lyrics is pleased with Avril Lavigne and Pretty Reckless.

It is difficult to list all the best rock bands, because they are incredibly many, they all made a significant contribution to the development of musical art. Their songs are replayed by orchestras and amateur musicians, their music illustrates films, their statements are quoted in blogs, and names are perpetuated on T-shirts and tattoos. And rock itself is not just music, it 's a lifestyle!
