| the music of russian anthem (soviet union music). red october movie theme was good too. There actually some much less known songs in russian that are only known to russians where musics is very nice and good, but bringing them up would tell little. |

Transliterated Russian:
Rastsvetali yabloni i grushi,
Poplyli tumany nad rekoy
Vyhodila na bereg Katyusha
Na vysokiy bereg, na krutoy
Vyhodila, pesnyu zavodila
Pro stepnovo sizovo orla
Pro tovo kotorovo lyubila
Pro tovo ch'i pis'ma beregla
Oy, ty pesnya, pesenka devich'ya,
Ty leti za yasnym solntsem vsled
I boytsu na dal'nem pogranich'e
Ot Katyushi pereday privet
Pust' on vspomnit devushku prostuyu
Pust' uslyshit kak ona poyot.
Pust' on zemlyu berezhot rodnuyu
A lyubov' Katyusha sberezhot.
Rastsvetali yabloni i grushi,
Poplyli tumani nad rekoy
Vyhodila na bereg Katyusha
Na vysokiy bereg, na krutoy
And in english this is what it means:
Apple trees and pears were in blossom
On the river hung the morning mist
Young Katyusha stepped up on the high bank,
Of the river steep bank in the mist.
On the bank Katyusha started singing
Of a proud grey eagle of the steppe,
Of the one Katyusha loved so deeply,
Of the one whose letters she has kept
Oh, you song, you bright song of a maiden
Fly you by the sun, fly like a bird
To the soldier on faraway border
From Katyusha bring a greeting word.
Let him think of simple native maiden,
Let him hear Katyusha's clear song
He will guard the land of dear homeland
And their love Katyusha will keep strong.
Apple trees and pears were in blossom
On the river hung the morning mist
Young Katyusha stepped up on the high bank,
Of the river steep bank in the mist. |

Dmitri Shostakovich is my favorite of the Russian/Soviet orbit. Also worth mentioning are Mikhail Glinka, Alexander Dargomïzhsky, Alexander Borodin, Modest Mugorgsky, Mily Balakirev, César Cui, Sergei Prokofiev, and Nikolay Rimsky-Korsakov.
I have deliberately ommitted the derrivative Piotr Il'yich Tchaikovsky, as I feel his works hardly deserve attention. |

| Apart from Soviet tunes, I occasionally listen to Russian punk bands like Grazhdanskaya Oborona (Civil Defence). |

Bah to TATU and all the other Popsa! :down:
I hardly ever listened to Russian music (surprisingly) until about a year ago. After that, I've become a big fan.
Nowadays, I listen to tons of Russian rock bands. By and far the favorite of them is DDT: http://ddt.ru/eng/25/history.html
(hooray to them for recently being named "Band of the Year" and "Live Band of the Year" yet again by Russia's premiere rock magazine!)
Others include Akvarium, Arsenal, Korol' i Shut, PilOt,Kukryniksy...
There is lots of talent in Russia. I know this as my father is a professional musician himself, and ran several rock and blues bands (I've met some DDT members personally thanks to that, for example); but it's very difficult. And the dreaded Popsa - manufactured vanilla pop from large music companies - only makes it more difficult.
Here's a good article about DDT and Russian rock: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/music/3568405.stm |

By the way, for those curious about DDT and/or Russian rock to any extent, how about some videos (from an unofficial site run with the band's blessing, and frequently promoted by users on their official forums):
[url=http://ddt-msk.kladzvezd.ru/video/klip25.htm]????????? ? ???? ("Born in the USSR")[/url]
- a quintessential rock anthem of more than one generation!
[url=http://ddt-msk.kladzvezd.ru/download/video_download/klip.htm]??????????? ?????????? ("Shot with the Dawns")[/url]
- very characteristic of Shevchuk's milder, more philosophical material
[url=http://ddt-msk.kladzvezd.ru/video/klip18.htm]???? ?? ????? ("Heaven on Earth"[/url]
- amazing little short artistic movie, a completely true metaphor of what is wrong with Russia
[url=http://ddt-msk.kladzvezd.ru/video/klip12.htm]????? ???? ("White Night")[/url]
- another trip into Russian history, this time into the darker corners of St. Petersburg. Very moving, for me.
[url=http://ddt-msk.kladzvezd.ru/video/klip17.htm]??????????? ????? ("One-Time Life")[/url]
- (maybe better translated as "non-reusable life") - I just like the funky but true setting of rotting St. Petersburg back-alleys, but with a twist
[url=http://ddt-msk.kladzvezd.ru/video/klip22.htm]??? ("She")[/url]
- an example of their softer material
[url=http://ddt-msk.kladzvezd.ru/video/klip24.htm]?????-????? ("Rat-Spring")[/url]
- an example of their odder and more modernistic, even slightly rap-influenced material
[url=http://ddt-msk.kladzvezd.ru/video/klip21.htm]????, ??? ???-?-???? ("Mama, this is Rock-n-Roll")[/url]
- an example of their live material
[url=http://ddt-msk.kladzvezd.ru/video/klip01.htm]? ??????? ??? ???? ("I Received This Role")[/url]
- an example of Yuri Shevchuk's solo work and searing intensity. Quite old.
And,
ROK GRUPPA - POPSA - an all-star cast of rockers belting out a tune against the Popsa.
Check them out if you got time and bandwith!

I find Lordi's music incredibly boring. This so called "hard rock" is music for sissies. When I need energetic music I listen to extreme death metal bands such as Brujeria.
The uproar is just hype the pathetic tabloid newspapers have created trying desperately to increase their sales. Almost 50 percent of the voters voted for Lordi and only half a dozen (religious) people are against it here in Finland. The band is just playing along, talking about low self esteem and stuff, and trying the get as much attention as possible, positive or negative (personal opinion). The whole uproar thing started when some greek restaurant society stated aloud their concerns and finnish tabloids reported about it and then the snowball just started rolling.

You gotta love those Euro contests, football, singing and stuff.  |
So your contester is performing in english too. Well that sucks. I think every country should use their native language only, like it used to be at some point. |

There is something about the style of the music form Russia or so glad they now use the original national anthem now. |
To Dmitri Shostakovich  My favourite of his would have to be the 11th Symphony "The Year 1905". The recordings of Shostakovich by the Gothenburg Symphony Orchestra conducted by Neeme Jarvi under the Deutsche Grammophon label are all fantastic. |
