I know none of these except for one (TaTu), which I can safely agree with.

Based ranking. This also reminded me to listen to Сокол. I wish they had more music ))

I spent the whole day listening to older Би-2 songs today, because the Russian language radio station was playing a 90s and 00s pop music marathon (Ирина Салтыкова [a.k.a worst casting in Brother 2], Максим, etc.) and I wanted to get away from that music. There is a time and a place for that music (I enjoyed a song like that was at a party when a Глюкоза song was playing [nobody knew the singer, though]), however...

today was not the day. Might I ask, do you plan on reviewing Russian-language albums? I would be interested in hearing you weigh in on the best and worst singers and bands as well as their music.

Би-2 is great, and jfc I will never forgive Balabanov for letting Irina be in Brother 2. Now that you mention it I never realized I hadn't yet reviewed any Russian music albums, which I definitely now plan to do.

All of my personal favourite Russian music is pre-2000s although there's many great lesser known bands that are more "current" such as Состояние Птиц for example. My least favourite singers though are any of the ones that come from Tik Tok (and Алексей Воробьёв).

I was half expecting Irina to be your least favorite. Honestly, Kino (and most 1980s underground and 1990s bands) rules, T.a.T.u drools.

A lot of people think I am harsh, but I do not like their discography and would sooner listen to classic pop (Eduard Khil, Igor Kutoy, et al.) than their stuff.

It isn't that I enjoy her music, I just hate Tik Tok kids more )) And I entirely agree on both Kino and T.a.T.u. I never understood the hype around T.a.T.u. even among western music fans. Classic pop is way better, and I'd even prefer someone like Dima Bilan over them ( who I must admit - has some banger songs).

Funny how you mention Алексей Воробьёв, I didn't think he would be relevant enough to be mentioned in 2023 on a 99% western social hub ))

Haha I forgot about him until recently – I guess the only thing that keeps him relevant is my undying hatred for his music

I admit that I like some of Oleg Gazmanov's newer songs too, but I cannot stand Алексей Воробьёв or Pierre Narcisse (I will never forgive Союзмультфильм for using one of his songs in Ну погоди!).

I think I should create a chart for Russian music, I will share it with you in a bit.

volk: Saltykova's (admittedly indulgent) inclusion was a concession that Selyanov and Balabanov probably couldn't resist, especially considering the sweep of Balabanov's ambition, and likelihood that CTB presented him with an ultimatum.

Hi! It was so nice to receive your comment, I didn't know you were reading : D I just burnt out a bit, then dropped out of all online chatter to live a bit more IRL and recalibrate. Feel terrible about vanishing just like that but it's been good & I'll get back onto Neocities soon.
