All German singers. Modern tendencies of German music

German musical groups protruding in the style of rock, began to appear in the 70s of the last century. The most notable was Ton Steine \u200b\u200bSchreben and Ihre Kinder. From the soloists allocated Udo Lindenberg.

Inglish or Doych

Previously, existing German rock bands that performed songs preferably in English, gave way to representatives of the new wave, the so-called daughter. This style was distinguished by short singles in the rhythm of rock and roll and blues, executed only in German. The texts were unpleasant, and the compositions did not differ in particular complexity. Thus, the German musical groups of the 70s did not cause much interest among the public, although the musicians had a certain number of fans. It was not always possible to find the right way to success. Much depended on the vocal component, German groups with talented soloists were more attractive for fans. Also appreciated guitarists, masterly owned by the instrument.

Conjuncture

It all radically changed when the German groups with a versatile repertoire began to appear, which was included in both Doychok and English-speaking songs. Academicity as a manner of execution moved into the past, and the music of German rock quartets and quintets became more interesting. The musicians quickly understood what to the listeners, and the matter went to the way. Each new album has added popularity and became an incentive for further development. New German rock bands appeared one after another, the beginning of the 80s became the time of their heyday. Popularity contributed to the musical conjuncture of the time when needed new forms of execution.

Famous German groups

Gradually, a community of rock performers was formed in Germany, which consisted of already recognized singers and instrumentalists. German rock bands, the list of which is shown below are the most famous:

• "Ramstein" (Rammsteein).
• "Tokyo
• "Kingdom Come" (Kingdom Come).
• Darkestrah (Darkestrah).
• Head Crash.
• "Disbelief" (DisBelief).
• "Reamonn" (REAMONN).
• "Lacrimose" (Lakrimosa).
• Megacherz (MegaHerz).

Not all German rock bands are given, the list could be continued.

Among the musicians speaking in the style of rock, there are quite a few performers who create work in other genres. German pop groups also enjoy well-deserved popularity in young people. A noticeable performer of pop music is all the same non-sharing parole Lindenberg, which sometimes mixes the rock and pop composition. A good example of the Popsee is a rock band "Scorpons", the composition and professionalism of which allows you to perform music in any style.

"Ramstein"

One of the most famous rock groups of Germany under the name "Ramstein" was formed in early 1994. The musicians immediately made a choice in favor of the style connecting the male and heavy metal. The scenic image of the group was in the impetus of texts and a variety of scenic shows.

After the anniversary of the 1994 debut disk Herzeleid, the producer demanded the recording exclusively in English, since it demanded that after several attempts "Ramstein" managed to record a number of German songs that entered the Album Motor Music, which had a considerable success. In the future, the group adhered to the repertoire made up of songs in the native language.

In 1995, the first tour of Ramstein tour was held, organized in support of the released album. The audience was amazed by a grand pyrotechnic show that the musicians arranged right on the scene. Thanks to the colorful fireworks, the group has gained unprecedented popularity in a short time. In 1997, almost all singles recorded by the musicians entered the top rating of musical innovations and took the first lists of the list.

The next studio album was released only in 2001, and he was called Mutter. The collection was the most unusual and shock songs created by the Group over all recent times. Thanks to this disk and the next round in his support, "Ramstein" has significantly added fans. Meanwhile, work in the studio continued, and by the decade of the group the first DVD was released, which included all the created clips and concert records.

Another album, published three years later, was called Liebe Ist Alle Da - "Love exists for everyone." The group toured a lot and performed at festivals. In 2011, Ramstein was held a foreign tour in New Zealand, Australia and the South Africa.

"Scorpons"

Scorpions is a popular German group, performs lyrical ballads and classic was founded fifty years ago, but still considered one of the most popular and revered in Germany and around the world. During the existence of the group, 150 million plates and disks were sold. On the example of the first discs (Virgin Killer, Fly To the Rainbow), we can conclude that the musicians immediately found their own style - melodious vocals and powerful support. A particularly successful album called Animal Magnetism, released in 1980, is over the years of the group's visiting card.

After four years, the Savish Group recorded the Savage Amusement album, which was a great success and took the first places in European chats. In the US, the disk stood on the fifth position.

1989 became the year of the appearance of the most weak album "Scorpons" called Crazy World. At this, the active creative period of the group ended. The new studio album was recorded only eight years later. It was a double disk called Pure Instinct, which for a long time became an irritant for the American government due to alleged immorality. At that time, the German groups preached some discrepancy on stage during performances, and not everyone liked it.

In the first decade of the 21st century, the group "Scorpions" spent a lot of time in Russia. In 2005, the team participated in the celebration of the Millennium Kazan, in 2009 performed in St. Petersburg. The last album was recorded in the 2010th and called Sting In The Tail. Then the farewell tour of the group was held, the final performance took place in September in Donetsk.

Tokio Hotel.

Tokyo Hotel is a relatively young German rock band, founded in 2001. She very quickly gained popularity, and most importantly, it immediately became known all over the world. In September 2007, the team put a record, collecting about 17,000 people in an open platform. Fans carried from the scene on the hands of the soloist of the group, put in the car and raised the car with him.

In 2009, the next album of the group called "Humanoid" was published. On this occasion, a tour of the disk support was organized. The route passed on Malaysia, Singapore and Taiwan.

Answer from Irina Church[active]
Simple and understandable: Tokyo Hotel. I hate and do not listen

Answer from ^ (O, O) ^[guru]
A lot of such. As already noted, mainly in electronic music.
Two more solid groups, in Strict Confidence and Yelworc, which appeared in the late 1980s in Germany, for a long time in Russia remained well-known in very narrow circles of fans of electro-indistial. Both groups have existed for more than 20 years (Yelworc seems to be broken after 2008), but we started them more "massively" listen only in the late 1990s
Of the younger groups, only now we have the popularity of the overall Agonoize group as a whole, began to come to Russia more often, but again, they are mostly lovers of the respective genres. From a similar area become more popular, including us, the groups of Centhron, X-RX - they have a more dance, club, but dancing under such music - the prerogative of cyberpreges, so these groups are mainly popular with them.
In general, German Electronic Underground is still interesting mainly to confident lovers. Even German rock and metal performers are on average are more famous.
