Not exclusively Russian, but orthodox lithurgies like they are done in slavic countries can be wonderful sound and music, same is true for Gregorian chants that also are done in the slavic culture. I also like some of the music by Russian soldier chorusses and that kind of music program. these chorusses truly have full and sounding - and male! - voices. Should make many so called popstars and pop-wannabe-singers ashamed of every dollar they earn by selling their albums with their strange and queer sounds. No way I will ever accept a squeaking, puffing thing like Prince as a member of the human race.
Hm, the title music from Red Octobre and the soviet national anthem also are sounding great! So do parts of the russian classical composers. Rachmaninoff: 3rd piano and Prokofiev: 1st violin concert and Tschaikowsky's Four Seasons are some of my favourites in the field of classical music. |

I've always liked "Kalinka" and "Varshavianka" - incidentally, I think the latter sounds very similar to the music that plays at the beginning of Red October. I'm very willing to be corrected on that, though. |

If I would have to choose I would choose Warszawianka (??????????) since it's Polish Originaly it's not a socialist hymn but a great Polish battlehymn first written in french.
http://www.chambre-claire.com/PAROLES/La-Varsovienne.htm(French version)
English translation*
Today is a day of blood and glory,
That it be a day of resurrection!
Gazing at France’s star,
The White Eagle launches into flight.
And it, inspired by hope,
Calls to us from on high,
"Arise, oh Poland, break your chains,
Today is a day of victory or death!"
Hey, whoever is a Pole, to your bayonettes!
Live, freedom, oh Poland, live!
Let this worthy battle cry:
Sound forth to our foes!
Sound forth to our foes!
Oh Frenchmen! Are our wounds
Of no value for you?
At Marengo, Wagram, Jena,
Dresden, Leipzig, and Waterloo
The world betrayed you, but we stood firm.
In death or victory, we stand by you!
Oh brothers, we gave blood for you.
Today you give us nothing but tears.
Hey, whoever is a Pole, to your bayonettes!
Live, freedom, oh Poland, live!
Let this worthy battle cry:
Sound forth to our foes!
Sound forth to our foes!
*Non-socialist version
Those where the days, when honor, value and manhood really ment something...

Hey, thanks, Polak - didn't realize "Varshavianka" was Polish! It is good to learn more about what I've been listening too. I studied Russian for a year at school but I've forgotten so much my translation is miserable (and don't know any Polish at all). |

I do not listen to Russian songs, Joe Satriani is pretty much the only thing I listen too.
However, I have to admit I like the Red Army's Choir "There march the soldiers". A Very profound and powerful melody.
Occasionally I play it loud and clear; my neighbors must be wondering if I am Italian as I pretend to be… or maybe an Italian Socialist… nah! :8 :dead: |

Very funny, the video of the German band Dschinghis Khan, that made 4th place at the Eurovision Song Contest 1979 in Jerusalem/Israel with the song “Dschinghis Khan”, a masterpiece like “Moskau” and “Hadschi Halef Omar”, their other hits.
What do you think about the heavy metal monster-band “Lordi”, that will represent Finland at this years Eurovision contest and about the uproar they have caused in Finland?

"In Finland, we have no Eiffel Tower, few real famous artists, it is freezing cold and we suffer from low self-esteem," said lead singer Mr. Putaansuu, who, as Lordi, has horns protruding from his forehead and sports long black fingernails.
We come as Texan Cowboys to the contest this year. Germany will be represented by "Texas Lightning":

"It is not a joke. It is Country".
You gotta love those Euro contests, football, singing and stuff. |

You can not beat the Russian classical music top of my list would be Dmitri Shostakovich. Followed by Prokofiev and Kalinnkov there are other composers from Russia I got. There is something about the style of the music form Russia or so glad they now use the original national anthem now. |
