In the 70s of the 20th century, a genre such as hard rock and its heavier variety, called metal, became widespread. The latter subsequently gave rise to many varieties. Hard rock originally emerged in the 60s. The most famous representatives of this genre can be considered such foreign rock bands as Deep Purple, Led Zeppelin. It must be said that technical limitations at that time did not make it possible to create a truly high-quality overloaded sound of guitars, so for a modern listener, songs of this genre written at that time are unlikely to seem heavy compared to those recorded later. However, even then the main features of this genre were formed. Such as a dedicated rhythm section and 4/4 riffs.
But the real heyday of the genre came precisely in the 70s. Then a countless number of performers of this genre appeared. If you list them all, you will get an extremely impressive list. If you are just interested in music of this kind, we recommend that you start getting acquainted with the best popular rock bands of the 70-80s. Many of them are still listened to all over the world, and some continue to release albums and give concerts even today. Most of them come from Britain or the USA.
Queen
This group is truly considered one of the greatest groups in history. even today their records sell in huge numbers. The main years of Queen's creativity fall on 1970-1991, i.e. from its founding until the death of group leader Freddie Mercury. The music of this band can hardly be considered heavy, and therefore suits a very wide range of listeners. Many of their songs have been known to us since childhood.
This English rock band is the founder of the genre of heavy metal. Their work was revolutionary for its time in many respects. Firstly, it is a denser and heavier sound of heavy riffs using the fuse effect. Secondly, dark lyrics that were not typical for the music of that time. Subsequently, the group replaced several vocalists who, upon leaving the group, began a successful solo career (Ozzy Osbourne, Ronnie James Dio). Despite such instability, the group still continues to exist, and the last album was recorded in 2013 and was accompanied by a very successful world tour.
Judas Priest
Just like Black Sabbath became the founders of the Heavy Metal genre. Moreover, it was in their performance that it acquired a modern sound. The first albums of the group were more of a hard rock, but later the sound became denser, and the songs themselves more energetic and fast. Many of the group's songs can be considered the founders of new directions in the genre. Thus, the composition Exciter is considered the first speed metal song in history. Many heavy metal bands subsequently borrowed both the sound of Judas Priest and their style (leather clothing and accessories).
This band is perhaps the most successful among those performing music in the style of Heavy Metal. They began their career just at the time of the greatest popularity of this genre of music. To date, they have written a lot of songs, including a large number of hits. In the 90s, after vocalist Bruce Dickinson left the group, it lost its former glory. This can be attributed to the release of albums that have a different sound than the band’s fans are accustomed to. Also, the new vocalist Blaze Bayley was objectively inferior to his predecessor. but after reuniting in 2000, their business began to pick up again. Currently, the group has no plans to stop, continuing to release new albums and making large-scale tours in support of them.
AC/DC
This Australian band is considered one of the favorites among hard rock fans. He is distinguished by his signature sound, which was subsequently imitated by many other performers. An important factor in the success was the eccentric appearance and behavior of the musicians on stage. Currently, the band's music is found everywhere as soundtracks to films, television shows and computer games.
Metallica is the founding band of the thrash metal genre. They are also the most commercially successful metal band in history. Throughout their career, they have greatly changed the style of their work more than once. Currently, the group has returned to its traditional sound. typical for albums of the 80s.
The Scorpions are among the pioneers of hard rock. Among groups from non-English-speaking countries, this group is one of the most successful. Despite the fact that the group has a large number of fast songs. Her acoustic ballads became the most famous. At the moment the group continues its activities. It is worth noting that the band's vocalist Klaus Meine, despite his age, has preserved his voice well. Therefore, the band sounds no worse live than 20 years ago even now, unlike many other veteran bands of the rock scene.
This group performs music in the style of glam rock. They have currently sold over 130 million albums, making Bon Jovi one of the most successful rock bands in history. Compared to the traditional sound of hard rock, Bon Jovi's music has a softer sound that should appeal to those who avoid excessive heaviness.
