Bah to TATU and all the other Popsa!

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/entertain...ic/3568405.stm
