ARNO JORDAAN - ROBBIE WESSELS - RAY DYLAN - NICHOLIS LOUW - ANDRIETTE NORMAN - LEAH - JAY DU PLESSIS - WILLEM BOTHA - KARLIEN VAN JAARSVELD - KURT DARREN - NADINE - ELIZMA THERON SINGERS FAN PAGE SOUTH AFRICAN MALE & FEMALE SINGERS FANPAGE ARNO JORDAAN ARNO JORDAAN SINGER Read More Arno Jordaan, a South African singer and performer, began his educational journey at Hoërskool Framesby and Hoërskool Brandwag. Initially passionate about rugby, he represented his province in the prestigious Craven Week competition. His musical career took off in 2003 when he participated in the reality television show kykNET Zing on the Afrikaans-language TV station kykNET. Partnering with fellow contestant Susan, Jordaan finished as the runner-up and was subsequently signed by the EMI label. Their debut album, Vir altyd in jou drome, was a collaborative effort that marked the beginning of his professional music career. Jordaan released several successful solo albums under EMI, starting with Altyd. He has performed alongside renowned South African artists such as Steve Hofmeyr, Kurt Darren, Dozi, and Pieter Smith. His album Ek wil jou hê achieved platinum status. He has also sung the South African national anthem at various international rugby events and released the soccer-themed single “The Time Is Now.” His performance at the 10th anniversary of Huisgenoot Skouspel in Sun City and multiple appearances at the Innibos Nasionale Kunstefees festival have cemented his popularity. Jordaan enjoys a significant following among the South African diaspora in Australia, the UK, and the United States. His fourth album, Gee my, was nominated for the South African Music Awards (SAMA) in the “Best African Dance Album” category and also went platinum. His most recent album, Stukkie van my hart, was certified gold. Arno Jordaan, our esteemed ambassador of the Princess Charlene of Monaco Foundation South Africa, took center stage, performing the Irish national anthem at a significant event where KB Motsilanyane delivered a stirring rendition of South Africa’s anthem during the opening ceremony. Jordaan’s participation not only highlighted his deep love for rugby but also underscored his commitment to fostering unity and mutual respect between nations through the universal language of music. His connection to rugby is matched only by his dedication to uplifting the youth of South Africa. As an ambassador for the Foundation, Jordaan exemplifies the values of hard work, dedication, and perseverance, promoting water safety, education, and sports among young South Africans. Additionally, his significant contributions to fundraising efforts for Lifesaving South Africa, including his participation in last year’s Sun City Water Bike event, have raised vital funds to support lifesaving initiatives across the country. ROBBIE WESSELS ROBBIE WESSELS SINGER Read More Robbie is `n kunstenaar eie in sy soort. As akteur, sanger, liedjieskrywer en filmmaker kan hy jou laat lê van die lag, maar jou ook dieper laat delf in die dinge van die lewe. `n Grapjas is hy beslis, maar dis ook daardie ander sielvolle kant wat hom oor die jare `n groot gunsteling onder Afrikaanse aanhangers gemaak het. Oorspronklik, humoristies, diep. Dit is die drie woorde waarmee Robbie Wessels se werk beskryf kan word. Robbie is as Vrystater gebore en het op ’n plaas buite Kroonstad groot geword, as Kapenaar gematrikuleer, en as Gautenger het hy sy diploma in Drama by Tshwane Universiteit van Tegnologie gewerf. In 2002 het hy bekend geword as die karakter Poena in die gewilde TV-reeks Gauteng-alêng-alêng en in 2005 verras hy die land met sy talent as sanger en liedjieskrywer met die album “My Vissermanvriend se Pa”. Hierdie album het 120 000 kopiee verkoop. In 2005 word Robbie by die Huisgenoot Tempo-toekennings as gunsteling nuweling aangewys en in 2006 word sy tweede album, Halley se Komeet, by die KKNK vrygestel.Die reuse trefferliedjie “Leeuloop” word deur Vodacom gebruik vir hul advertensieveldtog en skielik weet die hele land wie Robbie Wessels is. Hierna het Robbie nie opgehou met sy kreatiewe produsering nie. Opvolg albums is,“ Afrika Sonsak“ in 2009, „“Kaalvoet“ in 2011 asook “Als wat ek het“ in 2014. Treffer liedjies op hierdie albums is, Hou Vas Jou Matras, Waar Lê Jy Vanaand? Verbode Vrugte, Leeuloop, Asseblief my lief, Die Coach se Speech, Asetileen en Suurstof, All Blacks teen die All Blacks en vele meer. Al Robbie se liedjies is oorspronklik en word uit persoonlike ervaring neergepen. Met sy lewenspad kruis Robbie baie interessante mense, wat toevoeg tot al die stories wat hy met soveel deernis vertel deur sy musiek. Robbie het ‚n unieke aanvoeling vir die wereld se dinge en sy mense, dit word duidelik gesien en gehoor deur sy werk en gee hy slegs die krediet aan sy Skepper wat hom hierdie geskenk gegee het om mense te kan vermaak. "Ek is 'n rustige ou wat lief is vir my land, my familie en 'n glasie rooiwyn so nou en dan," sê Robbie."Afrikaanse musiek is nog een van my liefdes en ek hoop dat ek 'n bydrae kan lewer. Dit is 'n plesier om vir die land en sy mense op te tree." Gepraat van sy vele talente, Robbie en sy broer Hamilton het saam hul eerste draaiboek geskryf genaamd “100 Meter Leeuloop“ Hierdie skreeusnaakse film is tans beskikbaar by dvd-winkels en het sy verskyning op die groot skerm gemaak in 2013. Met die groot sukses hiervan verseker Robbie en Hamilton dat daar wel uitgesien kan word vir nog films in die toekoms. Robbie se liefde vir teater word ook nie opsy gesit nie, in 2013 maak Robbie sy verskyning in die Jesus Musiekblyspel as Johannes die Doper by die Staatsteater, onderleiding van Deon Opperman. Hierdie rol het vir Robbie baie na aan die hart gele. Robbie is tans te sien in die plaaslike sepie Binnelanders.

RAY DYLAN RAY DYLAN SINGER Read More Ray Dylan (born 15 August 1978) whose real name is Jacobus Frederick Jersich is a South African singer who sings in Afrikaans and English. Read more https://wikisouthafrica.co.za/ray-dylan/ | Wiki South Africa Jacobus Frederik Jersich, also known as Ray Dylan is a musician from Odendaalsrus,a small town in South Africa.Dylan is a singer in South Africa and most of his songs is in his native language, Afrikaans, but some is in English. In fact, his debut album was called "New Kid in Town." Ray was born on August 15, 1978 in a small town in South Africa and grew up in the North West area of the country.Dylan kicked off his career by performing in clubs and bars, he performed with fellow South African stars in South Africa. Dylan sings a lot of ballads, and incorporates electric guitar into most of his hits “The singer I am referring to is Ray Dylan. He sings mostly in his mother tongue, Afrikaans. His real name is Jacobus Frederik Jersich. I read that he is known as ‘Jaco’ to his family and ‘Jakes’ to his friends. I have also noticed in the media that some fans address him as 'Raytjie,' a diminutive form of Ray. Ray Dylan, Born on the Anniversary of the Death of Elvis, Developes a Fascination with the King Recently, a local news magazine ran an article about Ray Dylan and featured him on the cover. I thought he looked a bit like Elvis Presley, and when I read that Ray has a near-obsession about Elvis and that he was born exactly one year after Elvis’s death, I started wondering about the possibility that he could be a reincarnation of Elvis.From that point onwards, every time this magazine had a feature on Ray Dylan, there was also an article on Elvis Presley elsewhere in the magazine—for example an article about a lady in England who has a very big collection of Elvis memorabilia. These synchronicities went on for some time. Then a popular Afrikaans TV show featured an interview with Ray Dylan–barely a week after Oprah Winfrey’s famous interview with Lisa-Marie Presley was broadcast on TV in South Africa. I was pleasantly surprised when I watched the TV interview with Ray. He is very charming and has an endearing personality. He is also a very, very talented singer and guitar player (apparently Ray has 41 guitars at home). He produces music too.There seem to be many parallels between Ray’s and Elvis’s lives. Ray struggled at school and did not enjoy it very much. All that he wanted to do was to work in the music industry. Ray lost his beloved father a few years ago. It took him a long time to get over this loss. He became a close friend of one of his late father’s old friends.This friend had a young daughter. By the time she turned 16, Ray was already in love with her. She felt the same. They started going out. As she was so young, Ray kept their relationship hidden from the public. When she turned 18, they eventually went public about their romance.

Andriëtte already tasted success early in her career and was marvelled at by Afrikaans music lovers. In 2008 she received a Vonk award for Diamant in the Best Contemporary female album category. In 2009 she released Dink Aan My, followed by Vat My Hoër in 2011. This Capetonian was born and bred in Brackenfell. She felt right at home on big stages such as Huisgenoot Skouspel, and performed hits composed especially for her by Steve Hofmeyr en Rudi Claase. She was awarded a Ghoema in 2014 for Wat Rym met Liefde as Best Contemporary Female album. She remembers: “I had a wonderful childhood with fond memories of playing rugby and cricket with my brother. The singing bug bit me during my primary school years when the choir teacher gave me a microphone and asked me to sing in front of the choir.” At that moment she knew she just wanted to sing. Six albums later she is one of the most popular Afrikaans artists, seen and heard often on the stages of big festivals and events like the Krone concert. “Of course I have my favourite songs,” she admits. Steve’s Napoleon and Rudi’s Sewe Oseane rise above the rest. After school Andriëtte trained in the beauty industry and owned a clothing boutique. These days she acts as an event planner and her hobbies include being a nutritionist. She describes herself as having a fine sense of humour. “I love being able to make people laugh, although I can also be serious and deep. In general I always have a smile on my face. I like talking to people,” she says. In the extremely competitive Afrikaans music industry she is especially thankful towards the late Theuns Jordaan. Andriëtte tells: “Theuns took me under his wing directly after Idols and invited me to perform with him. I will never forget this.” Andriëtte and Glynn Moolman have been happily married for the past few years, and she has three boys that keep her busy. “At the moment I am working on new material, but I am also working on myself. Working toward a healthier, happier me!” she proclaims. After she was signed with a local label for the past 15 years, Andriette is now a proud, independent artist in the Afrikaans music industry. If she could gaze into the crystal ball to peek at herself in twenty years, she would like to see a woman who lived each moment to the fullest, someone who didn’t allow any opportunity to pass her by. “If I can still do what I love, namely singing and performing, it will be a bonus. I hope to have an English hit somewhere on my journey,” she added. LEAH LEAH SINGER Read More Met ’n nuwe klank wat ’n ander sy van Afrikaans ten toonstel, bring Leah, gebore en getoë in Bellville, Kaapstad se noordelike voorstede in die kollig as die oorsprong van alles wat vars is – en musiekliefhebbers gaan mal wees daaroor! “Ek gaan stroom-op,” vertel Leah van Niekerk. “Ek wil hê my musiek moet mense wys Afrikaanse musiek het meer om te bied as wat hulle verwag. My klank is totaal bekend en gemaklik maar daar is ook die subtiele nuanses wat die evolusie aanvoer van musiek wat ek baie liefhet.” Sy is nie net toegerus met ’n 14-snit debuut wat vroeg in 2015 die lig sal sien nie – Leah is ook ongelooflik goed gekwalifiseerd op vele vlakke. Sy het ‘n BCom (Regte) agter haar naam en opleiding aan die Waterfront Teaterskool, en het grootgeword in ’n huis gevul met deuntjies van haar pa se keuse. “Musiek is in my bloed,” voeg sy by. “Albei my ouers ondersteun my geweldig. My ma was nog altyd ’n voorstander daarvan dat ek eties and eerlik is in alles wat ek doen, wat dalk vreemd mag klink – maar dit is eienskappe waaraan ek hard werk en oral toepas.” Ná inskrywings in ’n magdom musiekkompetisies, met TV-advertensiewerk tussenin, het Leah se groot deurbraak gekom in die vorm van modelwerk: sy is raakgesien in November 2011 in Rapport se Model van die Jaar-kompetisie wat sy ook gewen het. Kort daarna het die vermaarde liedjieskrywer Johan Vorster haar hoor sing en onmiddellik aan die werk gespring om haar binne maande ’n opnamekontrak te verseker. Terwyl sy gewerk het aan haar langverwagte solo-debuutalbum, is die sangeres, wat in haar twintigs is en onlangs getroud is, ook genooi om in die hoogs-aangeskrewe silwerskermsukses As Jy Sing te sing en toneel te speel. “Dit was ’n ongelooflike ervaring. Soveel so dat ek elke oomblik geniet het en dit met liefde weer sal doen,” deel sy mee. Johan en Christof Kotze het 13 van die 14 snitte geskryf op hierdie koel versameling saamgeselsliedjies wat Leah se toetrede verteenwoordig. Die uitsondering is Leah se betowerende interpretasie van Christina Perri se trefferenkelspeler “A Thousand Years”. “Wat ek doen is meer kontemporêr as pop,” verduidelik Leah. “Dink aan vroëe Rihanna, gemeng met ’n bietjie Jason Mraz, ‘n tikkie Jack Johnson daarby, met ’n groot skep passievolle organiese varsheid, en dan kom jy hopelik by my uit.” Snitte soos Ek Moes Jou Gesoen Het, met Bobby van Jaarsveld as gaskunstenaar, getuig van Leah se vernuf, van begin tot einde. “Ek wil net optree en musiekmaak,” gee sy toe. “Toe ek grootgeword het was Laurika Rauch and Karen Wessels se Hoe Durf Jy name en liedjies wat so by my aanklank gevind het dat ek hulle navolg en alles waarvoor hulle en hul musiek staan. Maar hierdie keer lewer ek dit op my eie terme.” Sy is popmusiek se mezzo-soprano, behendig en tersiêr opgelei – Leah is alles behalwe ’n oornagsukses of ’n verskietende ster. Wat sy is, is 100% oorspronklik, dapper en krities oor musiek wat vir vele ander week in en week uit deug as agtergrond vir partytjies. “Ek dryf myself elke liewe dag, wat my stem betref, fisies en emosioneel, om my beste te gee in alles wat ek doen,” deel sy mee. “Anders, wat is die punt?” Om haar stembande uit te daag, en haar gehoor saam te nooi vir die uitstappie is iets waarin Leah uitblink. “Ek beoog altyd om my luisteraars op ’n reis te neem,” vertel Leah. Stel jouself voor ’n hoë C, klavier, ’n bietjie ligte kitaar, en funky, ongewone en totaal moderne vertolkings van die wêreld om haar – Leah het bewys sy is die ware Jakob, selfs voor die eerste van baie nommer-een treffers sy merk vind. “Ek het grootgeword en geniet my lewe,” sluit Leah af. “Ek is meer volwasse as toe ek in die musiekbedryf begin het. Vandag is ek gevestig en geheel en al betrokke by wat ek wil behaal. Ek weet wat ek wil hê en daarmee saam kom insig en die besef dat dit die moeite werd is om te wag vir goeie dinge.” Baie soos Leah se toetrede tot wêreldwye sukses. Leah is a bundle of energy that always makes time for others. Her debut album, Wonderwerk, boasts a golden status for sales and is also the presenter of kykNET’s ever-popular Farmer Seek a Woman series where she helps farmers in their search for love. Leah’s major breakthrough came in the form of model work: she was spotted in November 2011 in Rapport’s Model of the Year competition, which she also won. Shortly thereafter, award-winning songwriter Johan Vorster heard her sing and immediately went to work to secure her a recording contract. She entered the silver screen in 2013 in the musical movie “As Jy Sing”. She is definitely one of our country’s busiest artists with performances all over our country where she captures hearts and evenings with her unique sound and personality. Leah took the South African Music industry by storm in 2015 with her very successful debut album including the hits “Met Jou Klere aan” Spreading her wings she also became the host and actress in popular TV Series like “Boer Soek ‘n Vrou”, “Duidelik Dapper” and “Lottoland Help ‘n Dorp” KURT DARREN KURT DARREN SINGER Read More Full name: Kurt Johan van Heerden Nickname: Big KD Place of birth: Pretoria, South Africa Date of birth: 19th February 1970 Age: 50 years Gender: Male Height: 1.92 metres Nationality: South African Spouse: Dunay Nortjé Marital status: Married Profession: Television presenter, singer, and songwriter Instagram: @kurtdarren Twitter: @kurtdofficial Kurt Darren het sy eerste CD For Your Precious Love in 1995 opgeneem, maar dit was nie tot 1999, toe hy sy eie liedjies begin skryf het nie, dat hy begin het om groot opslae in die Suid Afrikaanse musiek wêreld te maak. Met liedjies soos Kaptein, Loslappie, Meisie Meisie, Hemel op Tafelberg, Dans op die tafels en nog vele ander, het hy sinoniem geraak met party, dans en saamsing musiek in SA, maak nie saak watse taal jy praat nie.

Gebore in Bethlehem in die Vrystaat, maar begin en voltooi haar skoolloopbaan in Kuruman, Noord Kaap. Reeds op twee jarige ouderdom is sy lief vir sing en sing sy, tydig en ontydig die enigste liedjie wat sy ken. Dit is ‘n ou liedjie, “Gaan kyk wie klop daar Jannie.” wat die verhaal vertel van die smart van ‘n boere gesin tydens die Anglo Boereoorlog. Haar vermoë om noot te hou en met gevoel te sing, het toe reeds mense verbaas. Op twaalfjarige ouderdom neem sy aan ‘n plaaslike sangkompetisie, vir Hoër-en-Laerskoolleerlinge, deel en sy wen dit met die liedjie “A whole new world.” Hierdie liedjie se titel het vir haar waar geword, want ‘n heel nuwe wêreld het vir haar oopgegaan. Twee jaar later neem sy deel aan die landswye sangkompetisie, “Reik na die Sterre” en word deur CJ de Swart in die tydskrif Keur, spesiaal vermeld vir haar “kommersiële trefkrag” Deur gereelde plaaslike optredes kry sy geleentheid om haarself as sangeres te slyp. Sy hou egter nie net by sang nie, want in haar graad 9 en 10 jaar besoek sy Italië en Griekeland vir modelwerk. Na sy matriek aan die Hoërskool Kalahari voltooi, begin sy die Elizma Theron Kultuurskool, waar sy klasse aanbied in moderne danse, modelwerk en sang. Begin 2005 voel sy dat sy gereed is om ‘n professionele sangeres te word. In die tyd skryf sy die liedjie “Lapaside” wat later die titelsnit van haar eerste album sou word. Die lirieke van hierdie liedjie is sprekend van haar self-motivering om die sprong van die bekende na die onbekende lewe as sangeres te maak.Die baie bekende Dennis East neem haar eerste album, “Lapaside” op waarna die plate-maatskappy Next Music die album by haar oorneem en haar ‘n platekontrak aanbied. Elizma Theron die professionele sangeres word “gebore”.Verskeie liedjies op die album, maar veral die titelsnit “Lapaside” word deur verskeie radiostasies gespeel en beland dit op die Top 20 van verskeie radiostasies. Haar musiekvideo van “Lapaside” bereik by ‘n paar geleenthede die nommer 1 posisie op die program 6@6 op MK89. Gedurende Januarie 2007 verskyn sy op “Dis hoe Dit is met Steve” en in Maart 2007 begin Elizma Theron, Adam Tas, Beeskraal, Mel Botes en MD Greyling, in samewerking met Solidariteit die “Stop die moorde-toer” met die doel om fondse in te samel vir slagoffers van plaasmoorde en om die fokus te plaas op die ongesonde hoë geweldsmisdaadsyfer in Suid-Afrika. Elizma Theron se loopbaan neem ‘n baie opwindende wending toe sy gedurende die tweede helfte van 2007 aansluit by die dinamiese plate-maatskappy, Select Musiek en is sy tans besig om haar tweede album op te neem. Met hierdie album wag daar beslis ‘n verrassing vir die ondersteuners van Elizma Theron. BACK TO TOP

Music Information Music Played in the 1980's Popular Music From the 80s Music Played in the 1980's Popular Music From the 80s Music Styles, Bands And Artists during the 1980's Music in the 1980s was all about image and with the advent and popularity of MTV, the images that accompanied artists became more important than ever. When it came to music during the decade, nothing was understated, not the sound, not the fashion, not even the charity . The 1980s reflected the beginning of a period of great income disparity and a focus on affluence was reflected in the music. There were also several new genres that popped up including, Hip Hop, New Wave and Hair Metal, all of which have influenced music today. Popular Music Genres of the 1980's Pop Musicians Madonna, Cyndi Lauper, Prince, Michael Jackson, Don Henley, Tiffany, Janet Jackson, Whitney Houston, Lionel Richie, Cher, John Mellencamp, New Kids on the Block, Hall & Oates, David Bowie, Bruce Springsteen, George Michael, Debbie Gibson, Wham! -- Hip Hop / Rap Musicians Run DMC, Beastie Boys, Grandmaster Flash, Africa Bambaata, LL Cool J, Kurtis Blow, Salt-n-Pepa, Boogie Down Productions, Public Enemy, Biz Markie, Eric B. & Rakim, Ice-T, NWA, Jungle Brothers, Gang Starr -- New Wave Musicians Culture Club, Duran Duran, Devo, A Flock of Seagulls, Blondie, Talking Heads, The Cars, Spandeau Ballet, The Pretenders, Elvis Costello, The B-52s, The Go-Gos, The Beat, Soft Cell, Depeche Mode, The Police, The Clash, Billy Idol, The Cure, The Bangles Hair Metal Musicians Van Halen, Poison, Twisted Sister, Motley Crue, Warrant, Cinderella, Europe, Guns n' Roses, Skid Row, Metallica, Anthrax, Ratt, Pantera, Bon Jovi, Whitesnake, Quiet Riot, Iron Maiden, Ozzy Osbourne, Def Leppard, Aerosmith MTV Arguably the most important event to influence music during the 1980s was the creation of the cable network MTV (Music Television). MTV was the first network to exclusively showcase music videos, making its debut on August 1, 1981. The first music video to be played on the channel was, appropriately, the Buggles' "Video Killed the Radio Star," as music would forever change and the focus would shift from music and lyrics to fashion and theatrics, at least in the world of pop music. The original concept of the network was to play music videos twenty-four hours a day, every day. And, while this has obviously changed since then, the innovative concept created a whole new breed of pop star. New Pop Superstars Pop stars and their music changed in the 1980s with the help of MTV and a greater focus on image. A new breed of mega-stars emerged, becoming iconic mascots for the genre and defining the decade through fashion, talent and persona. Some of the superstars to emerge were Madonna, Michael Jackson, Whitney Houston and Prince. They experienced a level of fame and success not seen since Elvis Presley and the Beatles. These stars influenced fashion through their music videos, giving fans a first hand glimpse into emerging trends. Their songs set the gold standard for what pop music should be, and through constant reinvention they were able to navigate the pop culture world and keep themselves relevant. Thirty years on, they are still the standard that today's pop stars get compared to. There are several reasons they these pop mega-stars emerged, the main one being they were genuinely talented artists. Other reasons include a greater public interest in celebrity gossip, fashion and and increased obsession with pop culture. It also was related to the public having an increased disposable income and a want to imitate celebrity affluence. Changes in technology also contributed to the availability of music (MTV), better ways to listen (CDs and cassettes), and portability of music (the Walkman and boom-boxes). Lastly, a lot of these superstars' success can be accounted for through smart marketed by record companies and the artists' ability to look at themselves as brands. Old Pop Stars and Their New Solo Careers One trend in pop music during the decade was the re-emergence of older musicians who had once been popular as a part of a group or duo into their own solo careers. Some examples include Diana Ross, Cher, Lionel Richie, Tina Turner and Paul McCartney. These artists had already experienced success during the 1960s and 1970s and a few of them had even tried becoming actors during that time. They also came into successful solo careers after adapting to the new musical landscape. Cher, Tina Turner and Diana Ross all updated their looks to keep up with fashion, Lionel Richie made memorable music videos and adapted his soulful sound into the new style of pop music and Paul McCartney collaborated with other successful musicians to keep himself relevant. Part of the reason these artists were successful had to do with the fact that the Baby Boom generation was coming into adulthood and had an influx of disposable income to spend on the records of artists they had grown up listening to. They brought a sense of nostalgia for the good old days of music and yet their songs and styles were updated, combining the best of both worlds. One Hit Wonders The eighties was the decade of one hit wonders, where an artist would achieve massive success with one or two extremely popular songs and then seemingly fade away, never able to re-create their success. Part of this had to do with the expansion of the music industry, facilitated by MTV and technology. Record companies could now make just as much money by manufacturing one-hit artists in succession while not having to invest the time and money that would make a mediocre musician into a star with more longevity. Trends were also changing more quickly and many artists could not keep up and adapt fast enough. As the world's society became more globalized, the pool of talent became bigger, making it easier to move onto the next new artist. The changes in technology and societal attitudes also meant that consumers' attention spans got shorter. Some of the most memorable one hit wonders from the decade include, a-ha's "Take On Me," Soft Cell's "Tainted Love," Toni Basil's "Mickey," Nena's "99 Luftballoons," and Dexy's Midnight Runners' "Come On Eileen." Hip Hop & Rap Hip Hop/Rap music originated in African American communities in New York City in the 1970s and became more mainstream and part of popular culture in the mid to late 1980s. Hip hop music originally had a difficult time breaking into the mainstream due to MTV's reluctance to show music videos of black artists. After much criticism, the network started to embrace black musicians like Michael Jackson, whose videos were amongst the most popular, paving the way for hip hop artists like Run DMC and LL Cool J to usher in the era of commercialized rap music. As the genre gained traction on MTV, it gave the white middle class a glimpse into inner city culture and many conservative parents of the time were disapproving of the genre that had been called the "new rock n' roll." Key elements of the genre include sampling old records, rapping lyrics, fun sounds with an underlying message, beat-boxing and electronic sounds. Hip hop music sounded like nothing that had been heard before in mainstream music and the late 1980s was thought of as the Golden Age, were everything seemed original and innovative. By the end of the decade MTV started airing the program "Yo! MTV Raps" making the hip hop and rap music a global phenomenon. Important hip hop acts like Run DMC and LL Cool J made the genre commercial and were style icons, the Beastie Boys made the music "white friendly" and added elements of rock music, and Salt-n-Pepa were female pioneers of the genre. New Wave The New Wave genre began in the 1970s and was popular until the mid-1980s. The focus of this music was on artistic themes and the sound was tied to punk rock, dance music, synthesizers and other electronic instruments. New Wave eventually became tied to pop music as music videos from the genre were heavily promoted on MTV. The term "New Wave" is meant as an all encompassing term that allows a variety of highly diverse artists to fit into the same category. Some artists had a futuristic sound while others were closer to punk rock. New Wave bands and artists had an impact on fashion with their unique clothing and hairstyles that the youth culture would adopt. Many of the decades one hit wonders fell into this genre. Some of the definitive New Wave bands were Duran Duran, Blondie, Billy Idol, the Talking Heads, and Culture Club. Hair Metal Hair Metal had its roots in the 1970s Glam Rock. Popular bands in the genre often came from the L.A. Sunset Strip music scene and the United Kingdom. Hair metal bands would pull influences from heavy metal, punk rock, and traditional rock music to develop their sound. Lyrically, songs had catchy hooks and a pop sensibility. Songs were often party anthems or power ballads and would focus on themes of being an outlaw, drugs and women. Groups from this genre were called "Hair Bands" because members of these male-dominated bands would often have long and big-styled hair and would wear makeup and spandex clothing, creating an androgynous look. Bands in this genre fell on large spectrum from being almost pop music/soft rock to a heavier and grittier sound and nearly all of them had a flamboyant and outgoing lead singer. Hair metal bands were also associated with a hard-partying lifestyle, groupies and drug-use. Notable hair bands from the decade include Bon Jovi, Van Halen, Aerosmith, Def Leppard, Guns n' Roses, and Poison. Charity Music As many pop stars became excessive and affluent during the eighties, they wanted to show that they could be generous and have a serious purpose by taking up causes. The best way for many of them to do so was to create or contribute to charity concerts and recordings. These were bigger and better than ever during the decade and there were plenty of causes from which to choose. Musicians would organize these songs and televised concerts and contribute the profits to the cause. Others would hold the concerts solely to increase public awareness of an issue. Bob Geldof's "Band Aid" super-group recording of "Do They Know It's Christmas?" and subsequent "Live Aid" concert were amongst the most memorable and arguably the largest of these charitable events. Both Band Aid's recording and Live Aid's July 13th, 1985 concert aimed at raising funds for victims of famine in Ethiopia. The group featured mainly British artists which would influence its American equivalent, USA for Africa, created by Michael Jackson and Lionel Richie. USA for Africa recorded the charity song "We Are the World" and their May 25th, 1986 benefit was called "Hands Across America," both aiming to raise money for victims of famine, poverty and homelessness in African countries. Another notable musical charity event during the decade was hosted by Willie Nelson, John Mellencamp and Neil Young. It was held on September 22nd in 1985 and was called Farm Aid. The concert was held to raise money for struggling farmers in the United States. There were various other charitable events formed by musicians in the 1980s and the enduring popularity and seemingly effective outcomes of these events have made them a lasting fixture in public charity.

It was a time when musical taste was as varied as the events that were happening at the time. Many of the most popular acts that emerged in the 1990's were bands and artists who enjoyed a type of resurgence in the mainstream music scene after their popularity had dwindled for a decade or so. Other artists were just starting out during this decade and make a huge impact on the musical scene. The early years of the 1990s began with a surge in popularity for music genres like techno (often called dance or house music) and hip-hop that continued throughout the decade. Groups like Technotronic entered the Billboard charts with big hits like “Pump Up the Jam” and “Get Up (Before the Night is Over)”. Others will undoubtedly remember the hits from C+C Music Factory, including “Gonna Make You Sweat (Everybody Dance Now)” that is still a popular dance song at many of the dance clubs across the country. Similarly, the hip-hop music scene achieved popularity with artists like MC Hammer, Tone Loc, and Vanilla Ice. The subject matter that these artists chose to use in their music was as varied as their audiences. Popular Music Genres of the 1990's Grunge/Alternative Rock Nirvana Pearl Jam Soundgarden Sonic Youth The Pixies Alice in Chains Stone Temple Pilots Dinosaur Jr. Smashing Pumpkins R.E.M. Beck Hole Pop Divas Céline Dion Mariah Carey Whitney Houston Janet Jackson Toni Braxton Shania Twain Gloria Estefan Sade Madonna Sinead O'Connor Brandy Monica Golden Era Hip Hop Cypress Hill Ice Cube Snoop Dogg 2Pac Wu Tang Clan Jay-Z Nas Notorious B.I.G. Busta Rhymes Public Enemy Dr. Dre The Fugees Electronic Dance Music The Chemical Brothers Fatboy Slim Aphex Twin Deee-Lite Erasure The Prodigy Happy Mondays DJ Ron The Crystal Method Daft Punk Moby Paul Oakenfold Grunge/Alternative Rock Alternative rock music, and its sub-genres, dominated popular culture in the early to mid-1990s. The less commercialized music resonated with Generation X known for its nihilistic and cynical sensibilities. Grunge music in particular stood out in particular as an emblematic Nineties genre. Grunge can be described as a mixture of punk and heavy metal. It features a slower pace than punk, distorted guitars, heavy bass lines, dark and angsty lyrics, dissonance, terraced dynamics, and often a stop/start song structure. Also known as the "Seattle Sound," the genre has strong roots in the city's unique underground music scene from that era and specifically bands promoted by the Sub-Pop record label. The grunge scene drew inspiration from other more experimental alternative rock bands like the Pixies, Sonic Youth, Dinosaur Jr., and the Melvins. The most well-known examples of grunge bands are Nirvana, Pearl Jam, and Soundgarden. As grunge reached the mainstream, commercialization meant many bands adopted a similar but softer sound and imitated the looks of the scene. As with many music trends, fashion played an important role in establishing the popularity of the genre. Grunge had a specific look associated with long hair, flannel shirts, oversized clothing, ripped jeans, combat boots, and a generally disheveled appearance. While the grunge fashion is still popular, many music fans believed the genre faded with the tragic suicide of Nirvana's lead singer Kurt Cobain in 1994. Another popular sub-genre of alternative rock from the decade was what became known as "College Rock." College rock was a loosely defined genre that encompassed a variety of rock music styles that did not fit into the mainstream, similar to indie rock. Many of the bands shared similarities and were often more melodic than grunge and metal, but there was not necessarily a specific sound to define this genre. College rock evolved as a genre more so out of circumstances than a particular look or sound. These bands were often played at college radio stations, particularly in places like Athens, Georgia and Boston, Massachusetts. Some of the most well-known examples of college rock from the Nineties include R.E.M., Smashing Pumpkins, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Weezer, Jane's Addiction, Radiohead, Beck, and Pavement. Many of the bands that got their start on college radio stations would go on to experience massive mainstream success, becoming some of the most popular rock bands in the world. Pop Divas The Nineties was the decade of Pop Music Divas, these powerhouse singers with incomparable voices and dynamic stage presence dominated the decade. Spanning different genres, female singers like Whitney Houston, Céline Dion, Mariah Carey, Toni Braxton, Madonna, Cher, Brandy, Monica, and Janet Jackson dominated the carts. With her unique vocal range and talents as a songwriter, Mariah Carey was one of the top divas of the decade, breaking Billboard records and accumulating the highest accolades throughout the 1990s. In 1995, Carey became the first female artists to debut at number 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 with her single "Fantasy." Another tremendous talent, Whitney Houston dominated the decade. The gospel singer turned pop-star and dance hit maker is considered to be one of the greatest vocalists of all time. She saw huge success in 1992 with her version of Dolly Parton's "I Will Always Love You" a song from the soundtrack of her film debut, The Bodyguard. Céline Dion, only rivaling Carey and Houston in terms of success, was another 1990s pop diva with a unique voice. Dion is known for her power ballads, in particular the 1997 hit "My Heart Will Go On" from the film Titanic. After her the start of her career in the 1980s as part of the Miami Sound Machine, Gloria Estefan became a formidable solo artist in the 1990s. The Cuban-American artist won three Grammy Awards between 1993 and 2001, all for her Spanish-language albums. Another popular pop diva, Shania Twain, emerged during the decade, coming out of it as one of the best-selling female singers and songwriters of all time. She saw great success with Country-Pop crossover hits like "You're Still the One" and "Man, I Feel Like a Woman" from her 1997 album Come On Over. One of the best-selling R&B artists of all-time, Toni Braxton, also emerged as a popular musician during the decade. Braxton released her self-titled album in 1993 and it won three of her seven Grammy Awards. Already a mega-superstar from the 1980s, Janet Jackson saw continued success in the 1990s as she evolved into a more mature artist, exploring new themes in her albums and contributing more with songwriting. Jackson reached a new level of artistry with her 1997 album The Velvet Rope, an experimental album with huge mainstream success that touched on themes not often seen in pop music, a milestone in her career that many critics believed marked her emergence from the shadow of her pop-star brother Michael Jackson. Several other solo female artists achieved pop superstardom during the decade and their success even inspired an annual televised concert, VH1 Divas which premiered in 1998. Golden Era Hip Hop The 1990s are considered the Golden Age of Rap and Hip Hop. The decade saw massive shifts and diversification of the genre, as well as an increase of mainstream recognition and respect for artists. Distinctive styles emerged from the US coasts and various regions throughout the country. Some of the sub-genres that enjoyed popularity during this decade include gangster rap, party rap, and political rap. Because the genre was still considered new, there was constant evolution and innovation happening. Rappers representing different styles and regions saw massive mainstream and critical success. Examples include Tupac, Notorious B.I.G., Queen Latifah, Salt-n-Pepa, De La Soul, NWA, Snoop Dogg, LL Cool J, A Tribe Called Quest, Public Enemy, Eric B. & Rakim, Outkast, Geto Boys, Missy Elliott, and Big Daddy Kane. By the end of the decade many of these artists were considered some of the most popular and successful musicians in the pop music world, transforming rap and hip hop from a fledgling genre into one of the most influential musical movements within pop culture. Many critics believe the Golden Age started to come to an end in the middle of the decade as softer more commercialized hip hop acts gained popularity, signaling a drop in overall artistic quality. Many fans also believe the the era came to an end after the murders of Tupac Shakur in 1996 and the Notorious B.I.G. in 1997, musical rivals and two the brightest stars to emerge from the genre during the decade. In addition to several popular sub-genres within rap and hip hop, several fusion genres became popular as well such as New Jack Swing, Neo-Soul, and Hip Hop Soul. One of the most popular genres was New Jack Swing which combined the production of hip hop with the sound of R&B. The genre was performed by predominantly Black artists and often mixed elements of funk, soul, and jazz with hip hop and rap. Within this genre there was a strong focus on production, sampling, and creating hit singles. Teddy Riley, Bernard Belle, and Babyface were songwriters and music producers that often associated with the genre. Some of the artists and groups that found success in this sub-genre include Janet Jackson, Bell Biv DeVoe, Bobby Brown, Boyz II Men, Hi-Five, Jade, TLC, Montell Jordan, and Color Me Badd. Another popular sub-genre, Neo-Soul, was also a fusion genre. It began gaining popularity in the 1980s with artists like Prince and Sade but had a much stronger mainstream breakthrough in the mid-1990s with artists like Maxwell, Erykah Badu, Lauryn Hill, D'Angelo, Me'Shell Ndegéocello, Aaliyah, Macy Gray, Eric Benét, and Tony! Toni! Toné!. This genre attracted more singer-songwriter types, focused more on musicianship of the artists, and whole albums in comparison to other popular R&B based genres that focused on producers and singles. Hip Hop Soul was another popular fusion genre within contemporary Hip Hop and R&B that was prominent in the Nineties. This genre was a more straightforward fusion between R&B and soul singing styles with hip hop production. Popular artists that exemplified this sub-genre include Mary J. Blige, Faith Evans, Jodeci, Blackstreet, and TLC. This genre is often associated with music producer Sean "Puff Daddy" Combs. Electronic Dance Music Electronic Dance Music (EDM) was a new genre that emerged during the 1990s, proving popular among the club scene particularly across Europe, the United Kingdom, and the United States. The music is characterized by having between 120 and 150 beats per minute (bpm), drum machines, synthesizers, and other electronic instruments. It was originally created in the 1980s and saw its origins in Chicago House, Electro music, and the New York Club scene. The genre has roots in African American artists creating dance music in a post-disco world and it saw an expansion in popularity and the proliferation of various sub-genres during the nineties. It was the music of choice for early-1990s "Raves" - sometimes illegal underground dance parties hosted by DJs, often in warehouses. These raves turned into larger more mainstream gatherings with specialized clubs and festivals catering to artists and fans of the EDM genres. Some of the most notable genres within EDM that were popular during the decade include techno, trance, drum and bass, big beat, and breakbeat. By the mid-1990s, EDM had strayed from its American origins and was largely driven by European and British musicians, popularized by pirate radio in the UK. Some of the most popular EDM-associated musical acts of the decade include The Chemical Brothers, the Crystal Method, Fatboy Slim, Deee-Lite, Aphex Twins, Daft Punk, The Prodigy, and Happy Mondays. Some of these artists broke through to mainstream pop music include Fatboy Slim with his 1998 hit "Praise You," Deee-Lite with their 1990 hit "Groove is in the Heart," and The Prodigy's 1996 hit "Firestarter." As the genre gained influence, large commercialized festivals and clubs were organized for fans including several Spiral Tribe dance events, The Eclipse (England's first legal all-night club), Electric Daisy Carnival (1991), the Castlemorton Common Festival (1992), and the Ultra Music Festival (1999). Bubblegum Pop The late-1990s saw the introduction of the highly commercialized and over-produced bubblegum pop groups and stars. Groups and singers like the Spice Girls, All Saints, NSync, the Backstreet Boys, LFO, 98 Degrees, Destiny's Child, Britney Spears, Christina Aguilera, Robyn, Jessica Simpson, Mandy Moore, and Hanson all saw early success during the decade. The genre really gained momentum in the new millennium, dominating the early 2000s music scene. There was a heavy influx of bubblegum pop artists from about 1997 to 2002. These artists used many other popular genres to draw influence including R&B, Hip Hop, and Dance music. The genre was characterized by the use of autotune, a focus on appearance and fashion, choreography, repetitive lyrics, and the use of sexual innuendo. These artists were often heavily influenced by music producers and record labels, and often featured talents who got their start as children. These artists were typically marketed to teenagers. Many of these pop artists continued to have lucrative careers beyond the 1990s and several who were in groups embarked on successful solo careers or ventured into other realms of the entertainment world outside of music. Popular Songs Each Year in the 90's Popular songs from the Nineties Decade, arranged by year but in no particular order. Do you remember listening to these songs on the radio? Music Played in the 1970's Popular Music From the 70s Music Played in the 1970's Popular Music From the 70s Music Styles, Bands And Artists during the 1970's The 1970s created a perfect musical bridge from the rebelliousness of the 1960s and the happy songs that are characteristic of the 1980s. Following the counterculture of the 60s, the and the 70s created a trend of relaxing music as well as dance music. People may have grown tired of the fighting that happened the previous decade and many of them sought a refuge in dance clubs and other places to enjoy a good time. Out of this idea emerged the Disco movement. Of course, there were still the bands and artists that continued to speak of the ills of society, typically characterized by the punk music in the latter part of the decade. Although the rebellious idea had died down shortly following Woodstock in 1969, there were still many people that disagreed with the establishment and the way the country was being run. Most people, though, were just looking for another way to vent their frustrations, which helped to give rise to the fun that disco music provided. The 1970's was not a unique decade in terms of creating innovations in musical styles and genres, but it was unique in that it was a musical bridge connecting the hippie lifestyle of the 1960s with the characteristic yuppie lifestyle that was about to occur in the 1980s. Popular Music Genres of the 1970's Disco/Club Musicians The Bee Gees, Gloria Gaynor, ABBA, K.C. and the Sunshine Band, Yvonne Elliman, Thelma Houston, The Village People, Donna Summer, Chic, The Jacksons, Diana Ross -- -- Progressive Rock Musicians Kansas, Pink Floyd, Rush, Electric Light Orchestra, Yes, Genesis, Emerson, Lake & Palmer, Supertramp, Queen, Grand Funk Railroad -- -- Punk Rock/New Wave Musicians New York Dolls, Patti Smith, The Ramones, Blondie, Sex Pistols, The Clash, Buzzcocks, Generation X, The Misfits, The Cars, Talking Heads, David Bowie -- Funk & Soul Musicians Sly and the Family Stone, Parliament-Funkadelic, Rufus Chaka Khan, Kool & the Gang, The Isley Brothers, The Commodores, The Jackson 5, The Ohio Players, Earth, Wind & Fire, Chic, James Brown Disco and Dance Music If ever a musical style defined a decade, Disco was the definition of the 1970s. Although its popularity was relatively short-lived, the genre hosted a great deal of songs and artists that people are still dancing to today and had a large influence on the fashions of the decade, too. Van McCoy's "The Hustle" has often been referred to as the definitive disco track and many people say it was the first disco song created. Gloria Gaynor also enjoyed disco popularity with her anthem "I Will Survive." The Bee Gees also helped to define the disco genre with their hit "Jive Talkin'" and their blockbuster "Stayin' Alive" is often synonymous with the disco musical era. The Village People’s "YMCA" and "Macho Man" also helped to add to the popularity of this style of music. This style of music became so popular that well respected artists like Rod Stewart and Diana Ross jumped on the bandwagon by adding Disco elements to their new music or creating their own disco albums. Unfortunately, it did not take long for the public to see disco's silliness and commercialization - something that they had just rebelled against a few years earlier. Its lack of attention to musical significance helped add to its downfall after only a short time of popularity. When disco fell from grace, it fell fast, and many radio stations held public events dedicated to ridding the world of disco music with symbolic album burnings. Youths rebelled against the genre as well and it was not uncommon to see a few music fans sporting "Disco Sucks" T-shirts. Progressive Rock Progressive rock was another popular genre during the 1970s. This type of music was typically characterized by rock music combined with another genre, such as classical or opera, to create a hybrid genre. Songs from this genre were often longer and bands tended to be more spontaneous and experimental while they were playing live. Many progressive rock albums were also concept albums, meaning that they followed a theme throughout the entire album or series of albums. The band Pink Floyd were known for their concept albums and were considered some of the best in the genre. Their concept album – The Wall – was a psychedelic album that explored the loneliness that one feels due to the metaphorical walls that they build up around them. This 1979 album used philosophical lyrics and a variety of musical styles throughout the songs to exhibit the message that they were trying to get across to the listeners. Jethro Tull was another British rock band that also created concept albums for their audience. They had a unique vocal style combined with the dreamlike sound of a flute to help the listener immerse themselves into the songs that are being played. Their "Thick as a Brick" album was composed of essentially one track on two side of the album. This track consisted of repeating themes and movements that helped to mesmerize the listener. They also used a variety of genres to create their one-of-a-kind sound, including blues, jazz, rock, and classical music. Other bands that became popular in the progressive rock genre included Rush, Queen, Grand Funk Railroad, Kansas, and Electric Light Orchestra. Punk Rock and New Wave The punk rock genre also emerged in the 1970s. This was a style that continued on the legacy of the 1960s but with a more upbeat and harder style. Heavy guitar riffs and more decibels helped to motivate those who were still upset about the status quo in the country. The Ramones are often referred to as the original punk band. This band consisted of a group of family members that based their image on The Beatles but their music was much harder. On the lists that rate the greatest rock bands of all-time, The Ramones are often listed as #2, behind only The Beatles at #1. Their song "I Wanna Be Sedated" became a generational anthem depicting the feeling that society is so screwed up that the only way to get through life with your sanity is to be sedated for the entire experience. The Sex Pistols also enjoyed a short-lived success as a punk rock band of the 1970s. Band members heavily used drugs and alcohol which eventually led to their dissolution shortly after forming, but not before releasing two hit albums, "God Save the Queen" and "Never Mind the Bullocks", that created a wave of rebellion throughout the United States and the UK. New Wave, similar to punk music but more radio friendly and with an electronic flair, also emerged in the late seventies and went on to become a predominant genre in the next decade. Bands like The Cars and Blondie straddled the line between punk rock and new wave music and started producing hits in the late 1970s. Some popular punk and new wave bands from the seventies included the New York Dolls, The Clash, Generation X, Talking Heads, David Bowie, and Patti Smith. Funk and Soul Music Funk music came out of the R&B, Jazz and Soul music of the late 1960s after artists added more beats and psychedelic tones to their songs. This genre saw the height of its popularity encompass the 1970s with artists like James Brown, Parliament-Funkadelic, Sly and the Family Stone and Kool and the Gang dominating the music charts. Funk was known for its danceable beats, strange costumes, outrageous personalities and often socially conscious lyrics. James Brown, "the hardest working man in show business", is often thought of as the creator of funk music and his 1967 album Cold Sweat is thought to feature some of the first main stream funk songs. Brown developed the funk sound into the 1970s and paved the way for many of the other popular funk groups like Sly and the Family Stone to make it big in the decade. Funk music was known to have no boundaries with psychedelic sounds coming from the likes of George Clinton and his ragtag gang of freaky musicians in Parliament to a more soulful and smooth yet funky sound coming from Rufus and Chaka Khan. In the middle of the seventies many artists, including James Brown and the group Earth, Wind and Fire, added some elements of the popular disco genre to their funk albums and saw even greater mass appeal. **It is important to note that these were not the only popular genres during the decade. For example, Singers and Songwriters were quite popular in the 1970s as well, with artists like Joni Mitchell, Carly Simon, Elton John, Carole King and Billy Joel, sharing time in the spotlight too. Their music reflected deep themes with simpler musical arrangements and many of these artists had been prominant in the songwriting scene but relatively unknown as they were not often the face of their own music. The seventies more than any other decade gave them a chance to go solo and gain recognition.** Popular Songs Each Year in the 70's Popular songs from the Seventies Decade, arranged by year but in no particular order. Do you remember listening to these songs on the radio? Music Played in the 1960's Popular Music From the 60s Music Played in the 1960's Popular Music From the 60s Music Styles, Bands And Artists during the 1960's The 1960's were a time of upheaval in society, fashion, attitudes and especially music. Before 1963, the music of the sixties still reflected the sound, style and beliefs of the previous decade and many of the hit records were by artists who had found mainstream success in the 1950s, like Elvis Presley, Ray Charles, Dion, and The Everly Brothers. In 1963 and the years to follow, a number of social influences changed what popular music was and gave birth to the diversity that we experience with music today. The assassination of President Kennedy, the escalation of the war in Vietnam and the forward-progress of the Civil Rights Movement all greatly impacted the mood of American culture and the music began to reflect that change. The "British Invasion" also began around 1963 with the arrival of The Beatles on the music scene and the type of rabid fandom that followed them would change the way people would view and interact with music and musicians forever. In this section we will cover the history of the "British Invasion", Motown and R&B, Folk and Protest music, and the large amount of variation that emerged in Rock music throughout the sixties. Popular Music Genres of the 1960's British Invasion Musicians The Beatles, The Who, The Rolling Stones, Cream, The Yardbirds, Donovan, Manfred Mann, The Kinks, Herman's Hermits, Tom Jones, Dusty Springfield, The Animals Motown/R&B Musicians The Marvelettes, The Supremes, Marvin Gaye, The Four Tops, The Drifters, The Temptations, The Miracles, Stevie Wonder, Gladys Knight & the Pips, The Spinners, Aretha Franklin, Canned Heat Surf Rock and Psychedelic Rock Musicians The Beach Boys, The Ventures, The Champs, The Doors, The Grateful Dead, The Jimi Hendrix Experience, Jefferson Airplane, Jan and Dean, The Kingsmen, The Trashmen -- -- Roots Rock and Hard Rock Musicians Janis Joplin, Creedence Clearwater Revival, Steppenwolf, Roy Orbison, Procol Harum, The Rolling Stones, The Who, The Animals, The Band, The Troggs -- -- Folk Rock and Protest Music Musicians Bob Dylan, Simon & Garfunkel, The Mamas & the Papas, Buffalo Springfield, Crosby, Stills & Nash, The Lovin' Spoonful, The Byrds, The Turtles, Gordon Lightfoot, Peter, Paul and Mary -- Acappella Musicians The Persuasions The Heartaches The Concepts The Five Jades The Notations The Chessmen The Five Sharks The Royal Counts The Zircons The Five Fashions The Del Capris The Shells British Invasion The "British Invasion" is the name given to the period of time in the early to mid-1960's, during which many British rock bands and pop artists found mainstream success in the United States and worldwide. Many of these bands first started by covering American songs and showcasing an American Rock 'n' Roll and R&B influence in their sounds. As these bands gained popularity, many of them ventured into new music territory and created their own unique styles. The one band that comes to mind when speaking of the British Invasion is The Beatles, who first broke into the US music scene in 1963, but really became popular in 1964 after appearing on the Ed Sullivan Show. The Beatles dominated worldwide charts from that point in time until they broke up in 1970. The phenomenon that surrounded them was known as Beatlemania and many up and coming music acts emulated their "Liverpool Sound". The band holds many musical records to this day reflecting album sales and number one singles and they're music remains some of the most popular of all time. They can be easily described as the most influential group of the 1960's. Some other notable British Invasion acts include The Rolling Stones, The Animals, The Who, Herman's Hermits, Tom Jones, and Donovan, some of whom reached comparable success levels to the Beatles but had different influences on music all together. Motown and R&B The "Motown Sound" and popular R&B music had a major significance in terms of the Civil Rights movement and integration in American society during the sixties. Motown started as a Detroit-based record label in the late fifties and early sixties, but it quickly turned into much more as the acts gained popularity worldwide. Motown records consisted mainly of African-American groups, singers, songwriters and management and their musical and business success proved in breaking down the barriers of segregation and granted African-American performers and musicians a chances to reappropriate much of the success that had been credited to white rock 'n' rollers and pop artists who had success in singing "black music" during the previous decade. Two of the most influential groups to come out of the Motown sound were Smokey Robinson and the Miracles and Diana Ross and the Supremes, both of which had as much chart success as any of the rock groups that dominated the airwaves during the sixties. The success of Motown also paved the way for R&B singers and groups who were not necessarily a part of the movement to also enjoy mainstream success. Some other popular Motown and 60's R&B artists include The Temptations, The Marvelettes, The Four Tops, Stevie Wonder, Marvin Gaye, Aretha Franklin, and the Jackson Five. Rock and its Subgenres While rock 'n' roll music entered the popular music spectrum in the 1950s, rock music really came into its own in the 1960s. Rock music dominated the popular music scene during the decade and as the genre grew and changed, many diverse and new subgenres emerged, all tied to original rock but each with their own unique style and purpose. These specific subgenres also had varying levels of popularity throughout the decade and many are still popular today. Quite a few rock bands and musicians oscillated between these genres depending on what was popular at the time and used it as a way to experiment with finding their own true sound. Some of the rock subgenres that we will touch upon are surf, psychedelic, roots, and hard rock. It is important to remember that the specific artists we discuss in these various sections often fall into more than one category and it is up for debate amongst their fans what genre they best represent. We have tried our best to categorize these artists and realize there was much cross-over during the decade. Surf Rock and Psychedelic Rock Surf rock began in Southern California as a type of dance music that was mostly instrumental and it became quite popular in the early to mid sixties, until the British Invasion took over the music scene. The subject matter for surf rock was quite literally surfing, however, that expanded as the genre grew in popularity to songs about girls, cars and general teenage antics. The most influential and popular group to come out of the genre were The Beach Boys, whose vocal harmonies and well-crafted compositions came to define the genre. The Beach Boys were one of the only bands to come out of the genre and sustain their success. Some other important surf rock acts include Jan and Dean, The Ventures and The Champs. Psychedelic rock was popular during the latter half of the 1960s and reached its peak at the end of the decade. Psychedelic music was associated with the hippie counter-culture and hallucinogenic drug use and it was created with the intention of "enhancing" the experience of listeners who were using LSD or other mind-altering substances. The lyrics were often strange and made reference to drugs and bands would often use instruments that were not usual, like the sitar, tabla, harpsichord and organ. There was much experimentation in the sound and much of it was influenced by Eastern and Indian music. Psychedelic rock along with Folk rock became two of the most recognizable sounds associated with 1967's "Summer of Love" phenomenon. Many popular rock bands experimented with this genre, including The Beatles, The Doors, The Jimi Hendrix Experience, Jefferson Airplane, Cream, Pink Floyd, and The Yardbirds. Roots Rock and Hard Rock Roots rock emerged in the mid to late 1960s as a combination of several genres and subgenres of rock music that were popular at the time. Roots rock combined elements of folk music, blues, country and rock 'n' roll. And, the genre was exemplified by its "back to basics" sound. Bob Dylan is thought to have pioneered the genre with the release of his 1966 album Blonde on Blonde that demonstrated what roots rock was to become. Many of the most popular bands of the time joined the "roots revival" and crafted albums of their own that featured and experimented with a roots sound. Some of the bands that created music in the style of this broad genre included The Rolling Stones, The Doors, The Beatles, The Band, and Creedence Clearwater Revival. Hard rock took the elements of rock 'n' roll and made them heavier as the genre formed in the middle of the decade. The sound is characterized by more aggressive tones and delivery. Hard rock vocalists are identified by their higher range and distinct and often raspy voices. The music was influenced heavily by blues rock, garage rock, and rhythm and blues. This style became associated with rebellious youth and an anti-authority demeanor, with a few acts even destroying their own instruments on stage (like The Who). Due to their hard-partying lifestyles, many musicians that were a part of the hard rock scene developed drug and alcohol problems. As a result of these problems, quite a few influential musicians died at a young age from substance abuse or accidents related to substance abuse like Janis Joplin and Jimi Hendrix. Notable hard rock bands form the 1960s include The Who, Deep Purple, Led Zeppelin, The Rolling Stones, The Kinks and Steppenwolf. Folk Rock and Protest Music Folk rock came onto the scene as a popular genre in the mid-sixties and much of it grew out of the protest movements that were active during those turbulent times. Much of the folk rock and protest movement was born out of the emerging group of singer-songwriters that were influenced by the folk musicians of the 1930s. Bob Dylan became one of the most prominent songwriters of the decade with many popular groups such as The Byrds and Peter, Paul and Mary covering his songs successfully. Dylan even saw success as a solo performer and was recognized by his unusual voice. This genre was characterized by its melodic sound and did not necessarily have to connect to the protest movements at the time, although lyrically a lot of the folk rock contained protest messages. Protest music was distinctly different in that it always had a message and was not confined to the sound and style of folk rock. This music was often a reaction to social injustice, cultural changes, and news events. And, in many cases, it brought awareness to the younger generation who would then join the protest, therefore growing the movements. This genre was not necessarily specific to certain artists either, as many mainstream musicians decided to contribute to the cannon with their own feelings. For example, R&B and Soul singer Same Cooke wrote and recorded "A Change Is Gonna Come" in 1963, a song that became an anthem for the Civil Rights movement in America, along with others like Bob Dylan's "Blowin' in the Wind" and James Brown's "Say It Loud - I'm Black and I'm Proud" from 1963 and 1968 respectively. Another issue that protest music was used to address was the war in Vietnam and its escalation during the decade. As more and more American troops were being sent to Vietnam with virtually no progress being made, an anti-war movement began to gain steam in the mid-sixties and protest music accompanied it. Some examples of anti-Vietnam songs were Pete Seeger's "Waist Deep in the Big Muddy from 1967, The Door's "The Unknown Soldier" from 1968, and Bob Dylan's "Masters of War" from 1963. Both folk music and protest music were connected to the "hippie" movement at the time and greatly influenced and were influenced by the feelings of freedom, love and peace that characterized the hippies. Some examples of folk rock and protest musicians from the 1960s include Peter, Paul and Mary, Cat Stevens, Buffalo Springfield, Simon and Garfunkel, and Pete Seeger. Acappella The Golden Age of Acappella 1963-1973 exploded in urban America along the acappella corridor that stretched from Boston to Philadelphia; a regional sound that captured the heart and minds of young people in the inner cities. The birth of Acappella as a new urban music genre began in New York City in a small record shop called Times Square Records run and operated by Irving "Slim" Rose. The term Acappella was the word that Slim Rose came up with to promote music that was made without music. Recordings made without music was played on the radio by vocal groups, vinyl acappella records were sold in record stores and Acappella Shows drew hundreds of teenagers throughout New Jersey and New York. Thus a new urban sound created a niche in the music industry competing with Motown, British Invasion, folk and many other musical genres. Acappella became the starting point and catalyst for oldies radio programing, reissues of records of the late 40's and 50's and the preservation and promotion of rhythm and blues vocal groups. Amid the social and cultural revolution taking place during the 1960's acappella as a whole rose above ethnic and racial barriers and became a dynamic musical movement in American history. I would like to thank Abraham Santiago who wrote the paragraph about Acappella Music for us Popular Songs Each Year in the 60's Popular songs from the Sixties Decade, arranged by year but in no particular order.

Famous female singers were Marlene Dietrich and Hildegard Knef . German electronic music gained global influence, with Kraftwerk and Tangerine Dream being pioneer groups in this genre. The electro and techno scene is internationally popular, namely due to the DJs Paul van Dyk , Scooter and Cascada . Germany hosts many large rock music festivals . The Rock am Ring and Rock im Park festival is among the largest in the world. Since around 1990, the new-old German capital Berlin has developed a diverse music and entertainment industry. Minnesingers and Meistersingers (Man and Woman) The beginning of what is now considered German music could be traced back to the 12th-century compositions of mystic abbess Hildegard of Bingen , who wrote a variety of hymns and other kinds of Christian music . After Latin-language religious music had dominated for centuries, in the 12th century to the 14th centuries, Minnesinger (love poets), singing in German, spread across Germany. Minnesinger were aristocrats, traveling from court to court, who had become musicians, and their work left behind a vast body of literature, Minnelieder. The following two centuries saw the Minnesinger replaced by middle-class Meistersinger , who were often master craftsmen in their main profession, whose music was much more formalized and rule-based than that of the Minnesinger. Minnesinger and Meistersinger could be considered parallels of French troubadours and trouvère . Among the Minnesinger, Hermann, a monk from Salzburg , deserves special note. He incorporated folk styles from the Alpine regions in his compositions. He made some primitive forays into polyphony as well. Walther von der Vogelweide and Reinmar von Hagenau are probably the most famous minnesingers from this period. Classical music of Germany Germans have played a leading role in the development of classical music . Many of the best classical musicians such as Bach, Händel, Beethoven, Schumann, Brahms, Wagner, Mahler, or Schoenberg (a lineage labeled the "German Stem" by Igor Stravinsky ) were German. At the beginning of the 15th century, German classical music was revolutionized by Oswald von Wolkenstein , who travelled across Europe learning about classical traditions, spending time in countries like France and Italy. He brought back some techniques and styles to his homeland, and within a hundred years, Germany had begun producing composers renowned across the continent. Among the first of these composers was the organist Conrad Paumann . The largest summer festival for classical music in Germany is the Schleswig-Holstein Musik Festival . Chorale Main article: Chorale Beginning in the 16th century, polyphony , or the intertwining of multiple melodies , arrived in Germany. Protestant chorales predominated; in contrast to Catholic music, chorale was vibrant and energetic. Composers included Dieterich Buxtehude , Heinrich Schütz and Martin Luther , leader of the Protestant Reformation . Luther happened to accompany his sung hymns with a lute, later recreated as the waldzither that became a national instrument of Germany in the 20th century. Opera Main article: German opera W. A. Mozart , 1777 Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart 's Die Zauberflöte (1791) is usually said to be the beginning of German opera . An earlier starting date for German opera, however, could be Heinrich Schütz 's Dafne from 1627. Schütz is said to be the first great German composer before Johann Sebastian Bach , and was a major figure in 17th-century music. In the 19th century, two figures were paramount in German opera: Carl Maria von Weber and Richard Wagner . Wagner introduced devices like the Leitmotiv , a musical theme which recurs for important characters or ideas. Wagner (and Weber) based his operas of German history and folklore, most importantly including the Ring of the Nibelung (1874). Into the 20th century, opera composers included Richard Strauss (Der Rosenkavalier ) and Engelbert Humperdinck , who wrote operas meant for young audiences. Across the border in Austria, Arnold Schoenberg innovated a form of twelve-tone music that used rhythm and dissonance instead of traditional melodies and harmonies, while Kurt Weill and Bertolt Brecht collaborated on some of the great works of German theater, including Rise and Fall of the City of Mahagonny and The Three-Penny Opera . Following the war, German composers like Karlheinz Stockhausen and Hans Werner Henze began experimenting electronic sounds in classical music. Germany is also very well known for its many subsidised opera houses , such as Semperoper , Munich State Theatre and the Bayreuth Festspielhaus . Baroque period Main article: Baroque music J. S. Bach Baroque music, which was the first music to use tonality in the modern sense, is also known for its ornamentation and artistic use of counterpoint . It originated in Northern Italy at the end of the 16th century, and the style migrated quickly to Germany, which was one of the most active centers of early Baroque music. Early German Baroque composers included Heinrich Schütz , Michael Praetorius , Johann Hermann Schein , and Samuel Scheidt . The culmination of the Baroque era was undoubtedly in the works of Johann Sebastian Bach and Georg Friedrich Händel in the first half of the 18th century. Bach established German styles through his skill in counterpoint , harmonic and motivic organisation, and adapted rhythms, forms, and textures from Italy and France. Bach wrote numerous works, including preludes , cantatas , fugues , concertos for harpsichord, violin and wind, orchestral suites, the Brandenburg Concertos , St Matthew Passion , St John Passion and the Christmas Oratorio . Händel was a cosmopolitan composer that wrote music for virtually every genre of his time. His most famous works include the orchestral suites Water Music , Music for the Royal Fireworks and the oratorio Messiah . Another important composer was Georg Philipp Telemann , one of the most prolific musicians in history. Classical era By the middle of the 18th century, the cities of Vienna , Dresden , Berlin and Mannheim had become the center for orchestral music. The Esterházy princes of Vienna, for example, were the patrons of Joseph Haydn , an Austrian who invented the classic format of the string quartet , symphony and sonata . Later that century, Vienna's Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart emerged, mixing German and Italian traditions into his own style. Mozart was a prolific and influential composer who composed over 600 works , many acknowledged as pinnacles of symphonic , concertante , chamber , operatic , and choral music. He is among the most popular of classical composers, and his influence on subsequent Western art music is profound; Ludwig van Beethoven composed his own early works in the shadow of Mozart. Romantic era Main articles: Romantic music and lieder Robert Schumann Carl Maria von Weber Johannes Brahms Richard Wagner Franz Schubert The following century saw two major German composers come to fame early—Ludwig van Beethoven and Franz Schubert . Beethoven, a student of Haydn's in Vienna, used unusually daring harmonies and rhythm and composed numerous pieces for piano , violin , symphonies , chamber music , string quartets and an opera . Schubert created a field of artistic, romantic poetry and music called lied ; his lieder cycles included Die schöne Müllerin and Winterreise . Franz Schubert was extremely prolific during his lifetime. His output consists of over six hundred secular vocal works (mainly Lieder ), seven complete symphonies , sacred music, operas , incidental music and a large body of chamber and piano music. He is ranked among the greatest composers of the late Classical era and early Romantic era. Early in the 19th century, a composer by the name of Richard Wagner was born. He was a "Musician of the Future" who disliked the strict traditionalist styles of music. He is credited with developing leitmotivs which were simple recurring themes found in his operas. Carl Maria von Weber was a composer , conductor , pianist , guitarist [6] and critic , one of the first significant composers of the Romantic school. His operas Der Freischütz , Euryanthe and Oberon greatly influenced the development of the Romantic opera in Germany. Felix Mendelssohn was a composer, pianist, organist and conductor of the early Romantic period. He was particularly well received in Britain as a composer, conductor and soloist. He wrote symphonies , concerti , oratorios , piano music and chamber music . Robert Schumann was a composer and influential music critic. He is widely regarded as one of the greatest composers of the Romantic era. Schumann's published compositions were written exclusively for the piano until 1840; he later composed works for piano and orchestra; many Lieder (songs for voice and piano); four symphonies ; an opera; and other orchestral, choral , and chamber works. Johannes Brahms honored the music pioneered by Mozart and Beethoven and advanced his music into a Romantic idiom , in the process creating bold new approaches to harmony and melody. The later 19th century saw Vienna continue its elevated position in European classical music, as well as a burst of popularity with Viennese waltzes . These were composed by people like Johann Strauss the Younger . Richard Strauss was a leading composer of the late Romantic and early modern eras. He is known for his operas , which include Der Rosenkavalier and Salome ; his lieder , especially his Four Last Songs ; and his tone poems . Strauss, along with Gustav Mahler , represents the late flowering of German Romanticism after Richard Wagner , in which pioneering subtleties of orchestration are combined with an advanced harmonic style. 20th century Further information: Music in Nazi Germany Paul Hindemith Carl Orff The first half of 20th century saw a split between German and Austrian music. In Vienna, Arnold Schoenberg and his pupils Alban Berg and Anton Webern moved along an increasingly avant-garde path, pioneering atonal music in 1909 and twelve-tone music in 1923. Meanwhile, composers in Berlin took a more populist route, from the cabaret-like socialist operas of Kurt Weill to the Gebrauchsmusik of Paul Hindemith . In Munich there was also Carl Orff , who was influenced by the French Impressionist composer Claude Debussy . He began to use colorful, unusual combinations of instruments in his orchestration . His most popular work is Carmina Burana . Many composers emigrated to the United States when the Nazi Party came to power, including Schoenberg, Hindemith, and Erich Korngold . During this period, the Nazi Party embarked on a campaign to rid Germany of so-called degenerate art , which became a catch-all phrase that included music with any link to Jews, Communists, jazz, and anything else thought to be dangerous. Some figures such as Karl Amadeus Hartmann remained defiantly in Germany during the years of Nazi dominance, continually watchful of how their output might be interpreted by the authorities. After the defeat of Nazi Germany , musicians were also subjected to the Allied policy of denazification . But here, the supposed non-political nature of music was able to excuse many, including Wilhelm Furtwängler and Herbert von Karajan (who had actually joined the Nazi Party in 1933). They both claimed to have concentrated mainly on music and to have ignored politics, but also to have conducted pieces in ways that were meant to be "gestures of defiance." In West Germany in the second half of the 20th century, German and Austrian music was largely dominated by the avant-garde. In the 60s and 70s, the Darmstadt New Music Summer School was a major center of European modernism; German composers such as Karlheinz Stockhausen and Hans Werner Henze and non-German ones such as Pierre Boulez and Luciano Berio all studied there. In contrast, composers in East Germany were advised to avoid the avant-garde and to compose music in keeping with the tenets of Socialist Realism . Music written in this style was supposed to advance party politics as well as be more accessible to all.Hanns Eisler and Ernst Hermann Meyer were among the most famous of the first generation of GDR composers. More recently, composers such as Helmut Lachenmann and Olga Neuwirth have extensively explored the possibilities of extended techniques . Hans Werner Henze largely dissociated himself from the Darmstadt school in favour of a more lyrical approach, and remains perhaps Germany's most lauded contemporary composer. Although he had lived outside the country since the 1950s and until his death in 2012, he remained influenced by the Germanic musical tradition. Folk music Germany has many unique regions with their own folk traditions of music and dance. Much of the 20th century saw German culture appropriated for the ruling powers (who fought "foreign" music at the same time). Heino is a Schlager and Volksmusik singer. In both East and West Germany, folk songs called "volkslieder" were taught to children; these were popular, sunny and optimistic, and had little relation to authentic German folk traditions. Inspired by American and English roots revivals , Germany underwent many of the same changes following the 1968 student revolution in West Germany, and new songs, featuring political activism and realistic joy, sadness and passion, were written and performed on the burgeoning folk scene. In East Germany, the same process did not begin until the mid-70s, where some folk musicians began incorporating revolutionary ideas in coded songs. Popular folk songs included emigration songs from the 19th century, work songs and songs of apprentices, as well as democracy-oriented folk songs collected in the 1950s by Wolfgang Steinitz . Beginning in 1970, the Festival des politischen Liedes, an East German festival focusing on political songs, was held annually and organized (until 1980) by the FDJ (East German youth association). Musicians from up to thirty countries would participate, and, for many East Germans, it was the only exposure possible to foreign music. Among foreign musicians at the festival, some were quite renowned, including Inti-Illimani (Chile ), Billy Bragg (England), Dick Gaughan (Scotland ), Mercedes Sosa (Argentina ) and Pete Seeger (United States), while German performers included, from both East and West, Oktoberklub, Wacholder and Hannes Wader . Oom-pah is a kind of music played by the brass bands ; it is associated with beer halls . Bavaria and Swabia Bavarian folk music is likely the best known outside of Germany. Yodeling and schuhplattler dancers are among the stereotyped images of German folk life, though these are only found today in the southernmost areas. Bavarian folk music has played a role in the Alpine New Wave, and produced several pioneering world music groups that fuse traditional Bavarian sounds with foreign styles. Around the turn of the 20th century, across Europe and especially in Bavaria, many people became concerned about a loss of cultural traditions. This idea was connected to the Heimatschutz movement, which sought to protect regional identities and boundaries. What is considered Bavarian folk music in modern Germany is not the same as what Bavarian folk music was in the early 20th century; like any kind of folk or popular music, styles and traditions have evolved over time, giving birth to new forms of music. The popularity of the Volkssänger (people's singer) in Bavaria began in the 1880s, and continued in earnest until the 1920s. Shows consisting of duets, ensemble songs, humor and parodies were popular, but the format began changing significantly following World War I. Bally Prell , the "Beauty Queen of Schneizlreuth ", was emblematic of this change. She was an attractive tenor who sang lieder , chanson and opera and operetta . Swabian folk music is most popularly represented by acts like Saiten Fell and Firlefanz and the singer-songwriter (and player of the hurdy-gurdy and guitar ) Thomas Felder. Christmas carols Some Christmas carols familiar in English are translations of German Christmas songs (Weihnachtslieder). Pastoral Weihnachtslieder are sometimes called Hirtenlieder (shepherd songs). Three well-known examples are "O Tannenbaum " ("O Christmas Tree"), from a German folksong arranged by Ernst Anschütz ; "Silent Night " ("Stille Nacht, heilige Nacht"), by the Austrians Franz Xaver Gruber and Joseph Mohr ; and "Still, still, still ", an Austrian folksong also from the Salzburg region, based on an 1819 melody by Süss, with the original words, slightly changed over time and location, by G. Götsch. Early popular music Marlene Dietrich Between World War I and World War II, German music branched out to form new, more liberal and independent styles. Main articles: Cabaret and Kabarett The first form of German pop music is said to be cabaret , which arose during the Weimar Republic in the 1920s as the sensual music of late-night clubs. Marlene Dietrich and Margo Lion were among the most famous performers of the period, and became associated with both humorous satire and liberal ideas. Swing Movement Main article: Swing Movement in Nazi Germany The strict regimentation of youth culture in Nazi Germany through the Hitler Youth led to the emergence of several underground protest movements, through which adolescents were able better to exert their independence. One of these consisted mainly of upper middle class youths, who based their protest on their musical preferences, rejecting the völkisch music propagated by the Party in place of American jazz forms, especially Swing . While musical preferences are often a feature of youthful rebellion—as the history of rock and roll shows—jazz and especially Swing were particularly offensive to the Nazi hierarchy: not only did they promote sexual permissiveness, but they were also associated with the American enemy and worse, with the African race they considered inferior. On the other hand, Joseph Goebbels assembled some of the now jobless musicians from Germany and conquered countries into a big band called Charlie and His Orchestra . Popular music from West Germany After World War II, German pop music was greatly influenced by music from USA and Great Britain. Apart from Schlager and Liedermacher, it is necessary to distinguish between pop music in West Germany and pop music in East Germany which developed in different directions. Pop music from West Germany was often heard in East Germany, had more variety and is still present today, while East German music has had little influence. In West Germany, English-language pop music became more and more important, and today most songs on the radio are English. Nevertheless, there is great diversity in German language pop music. There is also original English-language pop music from Germany, some having international success (for instance the Scorpions and James Last ), but little with enduring broad success in Germany itself. There was very little English pop music from East Germany. Germany has also had a thriving English-language pop scene since the end of the war, with several European and US acts topping the charts. However, Germans and German-oriented musicians have been successful as well. In the 1990s and the first decade of the 21st century such European pop acts were popular as well as artists such as Sarah Connor , No Angels and Monrose who performed various types of mainstream pop in English. Many of these acts have had success all over Europe and Asia. Schlager and Volksmusik Main articles: Schlager and Volkstümliche Musik Schlager is a kind of vocal pop music, frequently in the form of sentimental ballads sung in German, popularized by singers such as Gitte Hænning and Rex Gildo in the 1960s, though not without a wide range within the style (Modern Schlager, Schlager-Gold, Volksmusik resp. "volkstümlicher Schlager". Schlager/Volksmusik is strictly separated from international pop music and is only played on special format radio stations (sometimes mixed with international Oldies ). An important part of Schlager is volkstümliche Musik , a Schlager-like interpretation of traditional German folk themes that is very popular in German-speaking countries, especially among the older generation. Schlager has a wide variety, and the artists with many other styles, for example: Heino , Katja Ebstein , Wolfgang Petry , Guildo Horn , Roland Kaiser , Helene Fischer and many others. Liedermacher Liedermacher (Songwriter) has sophisticated lyrics and is sung with minimal instrumentation, for instance only with acoustic guitar. Some songs are very political in nature. This is related to American Folk/Americana and French Chanson styles. Famous West German Liedermacher are Reinhard Mey , Klaus Hoffmann , Hannes Wader and Konstantin Wecker . A famous East German Liedermacher was Wolf Biermann . Herman van Veen from the Netherlands was also very popular in Germany. Several Liedermacher artists also record special albums for children. Rock Die Toten Hosen Main article: Rock music in Germany The US military radio station American Forces Network (AFN) had a great impact on German postwar culture, starting with AFN Munich in July 1945, which was formative for the further development of German rock and jazz culture. Bill Ramsey , a senior producer at AFN Frankfurt in 1953 who came from Ohio , later became famous as a jazz and Schlager singer in Germany (while remaining almost unknown in the US). Prior to the late 1960s however, rock music in Germany was a negligible part of the schlager genre covered by interpreters such as Peter Kraus and Ted Herold , who played rock 'n' roll standards by Little Richard or Bill Haley, sometimes translated into German. Genuine German rock first appeared around 1968, just as the hippie countercultural explosion was peaking in the US and UK. At the time, the German musical avant-garde had been experimenting with electronic music for more than a decade, and the first German rock bands fused psychedelic rock from abroad with electronic sounds. The next few years saw the formation of a group of bands that came to be known as Krautrock or Kosmische Musik groups; these included Amon Düül , who later became the world music pioneers Dissidenten , Tangerine Dream , Popol Vuh , Can , Neu! and Faust . Neue Deutsche Welle Nena Neue Deutsche Welle (NDW) is an outgrowth of British punk rock and new wave which appeared in the mid-to late 1970s. It was arguably the first successful unique German form of Pop music, but was limited in its stylistic devices (funny lyrics and surreal composition and production). Though it was a huge success in Germany itself in the 1980s, this was not long-lasting mostly due to over-commercialization. Some artists became famous internationally like Nena , Trio , Falco (from Austria) and Joachim Witt . Popular artists In the 1980s and 1990s most German-language popular music was sung by male solo artists. Very popular singers are Udo Jürgens , Udo Lindenberg , Herbert Grönemeyer , Marius Müller-Westernhagen , Peter Maffay and BAP . Udo Jürgens has maintained a large following since the late 60s and still sold out entire soccer stadiums during concerts in 2012. Grönemeyer also has managed to maintain his success up to today. Maffay developed from Schlager to rock and has a large but delimited fan base—he is seldom played on the radio. BAP, who sing in Kölsch , the dialect of their hometown Cologne , enjoy success nationwide. Hamburger Schule Hamburger Schule (School of Hamburg) is an underground music-movement that started in the late 1980s and was still active till around the mid-1990s. It has similar traditions as Neue Deutsche Welle and mixed all that with punk , grunge and experimental pop music . Hamburger Schule includes intellectual lyrics with postmodern theories and social criticism. Important artists are Blumfeld , Die Sterne , Die Goldenen Zitronen and Tocotronic . Popular music from East Germany By the early 1970s, experimental West German rock styles had crossed the border into East Germany and influenced the creation of an East German rock movement referred to as Ostrock. On the other side of the Iron Curtain , these bands tended to be stylistically more conservative than in the West, to have more reserved engineering, and often to include more classical and traditional structures (such as those developed by Kurt Weill and Bertolt Brecht in their 1920s Berlin theater songs). These groups often featured poetic lyrics loaded with indirect double-meanings and deeply philosophical challenges to the status quo. As such, they were a style of Krautrock . The best-known of these bands were The Puhdys , Karat , City , Stern-Combo Meißen and Silly . Only a few individual songs, such as "Am Fenster" by City and "Über sieben Brücken mußt Du geh'n" by Karat , found wide popularity outside the GDR . There was also a wide diversity of underground bands. Out of this scene later grew the internationally successful band Rammstein (see Neue Deutsche Härte below). Popular music from reunified Germany Modern popular music Silbermond at the Donauinselfest 2009 In the 1990s, German-language groups had only limited popularity, and only a few artists managed to be played on the radio, for example Nena , Herbert Grönemeyer , Marius Müller-Westernhagen , Die Ärzte , Rammstein , Rosenstolz or Die Prinzen . In the mid-2000s the German band Wir sind Helden found success with a new style of German-language pop-rock . This success was followed by several other bands and artists that led to a new boom of German-language music and a broader acceptance of existing German-language recording artists, such as: Sportfreunde Stiller Juli Silbermond Kraftklub Klee MIA. Polarkreis 18 2raumwohnung Revolverheld Annett Louisan Tim Bendzko Andreas Bourani Mark Forster Philipp Poisel Indie and alternative rock Popular anglophone alternative rock and crossover bands from Germany that managed to find success domestic and abroad include Beatsteaks , Donots , Blackmail , Reamonn , Saline Grace , H-Blockx , Itchy Poopzkid , Guano Apes and Die Happy . The Notwist , an indie rock band, had great critical and commercial success with their album Neon Golden . Euro disco Boney M. Boney M. Chilly Dschinghis Khan Mike Mareen Fancy Silent Circle Goombay Dance Band London Boys Lian Ross Arabesque Silver Convention Penny McLean Patty Ryan Synthpop, Eurodance, Pop Modern Talking Cascada being one of the most successful acts of the dance music genre worldwide In the late 1980s (prior to reunification ) and the 1990s, Synthpop and Eurodance became popular throughout Germany. Often, different styles were mixed in between these to attract a broad variety of audiences. Successful representatives of these styles were: George Kranz Culture Beat Modern Talking Sandra Sarah Connor Hubert Kah The Underdog Project Mousse T. Milli Vanilli Groove Coverage Haddaway Captain Hollywood Project La Bouche E-Rotic Monrose No Angels Masterboy X-Perience Mr. President Fun Factory Sash! Jeanette Biedermann Captain Jack Lou Bega Bad Boys Blue Alphaville R.I.O. Cascada Real McCoy Snap! Camouflage A Touch of Class (British based) Antique (Greek-Swedish based) Reggae, dancehall, ska Popular bands and performers include Culcha Candela , Dr. Ring-Ding , Gentleman , Hans Söllner , Jan Delay , Mamadee , Milky Chance , Oceana , Patrice , Peter Fox and Seeed . R&B, soul, funk Milky Chance Notable R&B , Soul and Funk artists include Ayọ , Cassandra Steen , Denyo , Miss Platnum , Nadja Benaissa , Nneka , Söhne Mannheims and Xavier Naidoo . Hip hop Hip hop in Germany arrived in the early 1980s, and graffiti and breakdancing became well-known quickly, even in socialist East Germany . German hip hop "started out as a transnational youth subculture. The commercial success started in 1992 with the hit "Die Da" from Die Fantastischen Vier from Stuttgart . The Rödelheim Hartreim Projekt tried to establish a "gangster" rap. An early influential group was Advanced Chemistry including Torch . They sparked an interest in speaking out for the immigrants and used rap as a way to defend themselves.Fettes Brot from Hamburg, has been successful since their beginning. They sing about funny topics, such as infidelity and boasting about their prowess with women. Whereas hip hop had a peak of success in the early first decade of the 21st century, gangster rap became a controversial part of German music and youth culture just as late as 2004 with Aggro Berlin . Some of Germany's hip hop artists are: Cro , Kool Savas , Sido , Samy Deluxe , Bushido , Marteria , Eko Fresh , Bonez MC , Gzuz , Samra , Capital Bra , Trettmann , and Afrob . Gzuz gained recognition worldwide after two of his music videos were posted by Worldstar Hip Hop on YouTube . Punk Punk music in Germany has a long and diverse history. When bands like the Sex Pistols and The Clash became popular in West Germany, a number of Punk bands were formed, which led to the creation of a German punk scene. Among the first wave of bands were Male, from Düsseldorf , founded in 1976, PVC, from West Berlin , and Big Balls and the Great White Idiot , from Hamburg . Early German punk groups were heavily influenced by UK bands, often writing their lyrics in English. The main difference is that German punk bands had not yet become political. Nina Hagen Beginning in the late 1970s and early 1980s there were new movements within the German punk scene, led by labels like ZickZack Records, from Hamburg. It was during this period that the term Neue Deutsche Welle (New German Wave) was first coined by Alfred Hilsberg. Many of these bands played experimental post-punk , often using synthesizers and computers. Among them were The Nina Hagen Band , as well as Fehlfarben and Abwärts , from Hamburg. Both are still active, though they have changed their style several times. Other bands played a more aggressive style of punk rock with a clear leftist political direction influenced by earlier political rock bands like Ton Steine Scherben - bands like Slime , Toxoplasma , or Vorkriegsjugend are still relevant in the German punk scene. There is a still existing scene with many only locally known independent bands that confine themselves from the bigger and more popular groups (that are often branded as "Kommerzpunk"). Punkrock was outlawed in the GDR. Bands like Schleim-Keim or L'Attentat were observed and persecuted by the Stasi and could not perform in the public.Music was produced in underground and exchanged on Tape, an attempt to release a split-vinyl of "Schleimkeim" and "Zwitschermaschine" failed since the latter was undercut by government agents. Nonpolitical punkrock that is also listened to by skinheads is termed as Oi! . Thematically, Oi! songs are often about alcohol, relations, and/or violence. While some Oi! Bands like "Loikaemie" did antifascist songs, there are many cases with an affliction to neonazis , with fluid borders toward right-extremist rockmusic ("Rechtsrock") within the Oi!-Scene. There are few German language bands who managed to be successful for a longer period. The best known are the punk bands Die Ärzte and Die Toten Hosen . Both were formed in the early 1980s but have very different approaches to punk. As successful as those two bands in number of sales and number one albums but much lesser accepted by the public and normally not played by German media because of their affiliation with right-wing politics but with a huge fan community were the Oi!-Band Böhse Onkelz . Digital hardcore band Atari Teenage Riot is particularly well known in the United Kingdom and Japan as well as in German autonomist circles. Heavy metal See also: Teutonic thrash metal The Scorpions were the first German heavy metal band to be highly successful overseas, ultimately selling more than 100 million albums worldwide. Germany has a long and strong history with heavy metal . It is considered by many[who? ][weasel words ] to be one of Europe's heaviest contributors to the scene.[citation needed ] The genre is quite popular and mainstream within the country. Early hard rock /heavy metal was brought to German soil with the success of Scorpions and Accept . Germany is today known for its large metal festivals including Wacken Open Air and Summer Breeze Open Air . Germany has a strong tradition of speed metal and power metal . Early speed metal bands include Running Wild , Grave Digger , Rage , and to some extent Warlock and Stormwitch . The European style of power metal, developed in Germany, was popularized by German bands like Blind Guardian , Helloween , Gamma Ray , Freedom Call , Iron Savior , Avantasia , Edguy and Primal Fear gained international recognition. In many cases these bands initially started out playing speed metal, but later switched to power metal. More recently, a new generation of power metal-influenced bands like Masterplan , Orden Ogan , Kissin' Dynamite and Powerwolf is becoming more and more popular in Germany and abroad. Running Wild are also considered a pioneer of the pirate metal genre with the release of their 1987 album Under Jolly Roger , which was one of the first pirate-themed heavy metal albums. Three local variants of metal subgenres exist in Germany. The Teutonic thrash metal scene is represented by such groups as Kreator , Sodom , Destruction , Tankard and Exumer . Medieval metal , incorporates German traditional music with industrial metal . Notable bands include Subway to Sally , In Extremo , Corvus Corax , Saltatio Mortis and Schandmaul (the last is considered folk rock in Germany). Another variant, Neue Deutsche Härte , a form of industrial metal , is detailed below. Bands from the genres of death metal , deathcore , metalcore , doom metal , black metal and folk metal are: Absurd , Agathodaimon , Annisokay , Any Given Day , Atrocity , Bethlehem , Caliban , Crematory , Dark Fortress , Deadlock , Debauchery , Desaster , Die Apokalyptischen Reiter , Disbelief , Endstille , Electric Callboy , Equilibrium , Falkenbach , Finsterforst , Fleshcrawl , Golem , Heaven Shall Burn , His Statue Falls , Katharsis , Leaves' Eyes , Midnattsol , Morgoth , Mystic Circle , Nagelfar , Nargaroth , Neaera , Necrophagist , Nocte Obducta , Obscura , The Ocean , Our Mirage ,Powerwolf ,The Ruins of Beverast , Secrets of the Moon , Saltatio Mortis , Suidakra , Van Canto , VENUES , War From a Harlots Mouth , We Butter the Bread with Butter and Wolfchant . Neue Deutsche Härte Rammstein at Madison Square Garden , New York City Neue Deutsche Härte (engl. "New German Hardness") is a term for an extremely popular German variant of Industrial metal . It combines the common sound of metal with elements of gothic and industrial music as well as electronic samples and is mostly sung in German. It is known for morbid and provocative lyrical themes and over-the-top stage shows often featuring fire, pyrotechnic, stunts and other special effects. It draws its audience from both the metal and goth scene. Some bands, especially Rammstein and Oomph! have gained mainstream success and, despite their lyrics being mostly in German, have also found success in non-German-speaking countries. Other famous artists include Stahlhammer (from Austria), Megaherz , Unheilig , Eisbrecher , Tanzwut , and Joachim Witt . Medieval metal Medieval metal or medieval rock is a subgenre of folk metal that blends hard rock or heavy metal music with medieval folk music. Medieval metal is mostly restricted to Germany where it is known as Mittelalter-Metal or Mittelalter-Rock. The genre emerged from the middle of the 1990s with contributions from Subway to Sally , In Extremo , Schandmaul and Wolgemut . The style is characterised by the prominent use of a wide variety of traditional folk and medieval instruments. Goth Germany is the home of a vivid Goth scene, and has a large scene of musicians from the spectrum who are typically known as Goth musicians. Most notable artists are Lacrimosa , Lacrimas Profundere , Xmal Deutschland , Das Ich , Deine Lakaien , Illuminate , Untoten , Erben der Schöpfung (from Liechtenstein), No More , Girls Under Glass or Project Pitchfork . Leipzig is home of the largest event of this subculture worldwide called the Wave-Gotik-Treffen , regularly hosting 25,000 attendants. The WGT is closely followed by the annual M'era Luna festival in Hildesheim . Neue Deutsche Todeskunst (engl. "New German Death Art") is a German death-obsessed Dark Wave style of music that blends Death rock , German Rock , Gothic Rock , and neo-classical music with German philosophical texts and a theatrical stage show. It is restricted to Germany where it emerged in the early 1990s from bands such as Das Ich , Lacrimosa , Relatives Menschsein and Goethes Erben . Many NDT artists are known for their use of Classical Latin . Electronic music and techno Grammy-winner Zedd Robin Schulz Germany has the largest electronic music scene in the world [citation needed ] and has a long tradition in and influence on almost all genres of electronic music. The band Kraftwerk was one of the first bands in the world to make music entirely on electronic equipment, and the band Tangerine Dream is often credited as being among the originators and primary influences of the "Berlin School" of electronic music, which would later influence trance music . Some other bands like Liaisons Dangereuses , Tyske Ludder , Deutsch Amerikanische Freundschaft and Die Krupps created a style later called Electronic body music . Recently a few electronica artists have become successful in the mainstream, such as Monika Kruse , Marusha , Blümchen and MIA. Artists on the cutting edge of German-language techno include Klee . Both Einstürzende Neubauten (collapsing new buildings, translated literally) and KMFDM (no pity for the majority, translated literally) are considered by many industrial and electronic music fans as the godfathers of their genre. Their sounds developed the modern styles of groups such as NIN, Marilyn Manson, Rammstein, and New Order. Einstürzende Neubauten can be recognized by their Prince-esque logo, which has been subliminally fused into several mainstream American movies (such as a tattoo in the movie Bug, directed by William Friedkin, starring Harry Connick Jr.). KMFDM has released many songs in English, making them more accessible to their huge American and worldwide audience. In the 1990s, Germany was one of the most successful contributors to the Eurodance genre, with notable German-based acts including Real McCoy , Snap! , Culture Beat , La Bouche , Captain Jack , Captain Hollywood Project , Fun Factory , Masterboy and Haddaway . Since 2006 producer and DJ Paul Kalkbrenner gained popularity in Germany. He nowadays is one of the most famous performers of electronic music. Trance music is a style of electronic music that originated in Germany in the very late 1980s and early 1990s, upon German unification. Following the development of trance music in Germany, many Trance genres stemmed from the original trance music and most trance genres developed in Germany, most notably "Anthem trance " or also called "uplifting" or "epic" trance, progressive trance , and "Ambient trance" . One of the most notable event referring to this scene was the Love Parade festival with up to 1.5 million participants from all over the world. Scooter are by far the most successful German dance act, having found huge national and international success. In recent years, German DJs have found worldwide success in the popular edm genre, most notably Paul Kalkbrenner, Cascada , Felix Jaehn and Robin Schulz . Other popular and influential German DJs and dance projects include Paul van Dyk , WestBam , DJ Quicksilver , ATB , Ian Pooley , Jam & Spoon , Lexy & K-Paul , Blank & Jones , Sven Väth , Dune , ItaloBrothers , Groove Coverage , Novaspace , International Pony and Anthony Rother . Klezmer in Germany and Eastern Europe Klezmer is a musical Jewish genre that consists of mainly instrumental songs. In Germany, Klezmer expanded significantly after the fall of the Berlin Wall in the mid-1980s. As Klezmer was expanding, so was the Yiddish folk movement, and the two genres became intertwined to a certain extent. In the 1980s while Klezmer was seeing tremendous growth, many Jews in Eastern Europe turned to Klezmer as a means of understanding their communist backgrounds and showing their remembrance to those who experienced the Holocaust . Once Klezmer groups started to tour outside of Europe in the 1980s, Americans gained immediate interest in the music genre. Henry Sapoznik created the first American Klezmer band, known as Kapelye, which toured all around Europe. The spread of Americans playing Klezmer brought a new tone to the genre which captured large audiences. Most American groups who played Klezmer added a hint of American rock into their performances, which was different from the traditional sound of Klezmer in Eastern Europe. It was uncomfortable at first for many of the American Klezmer bands to play in Germany because of the trauma that had occurred there. Despite Germany's background, the American Klezmer groups knew Germany was a place they had to play because of Klezmer's popularity there. Over time, Klezmer's audience expanded in Germany and the American Klezmer bands were able to adjust. Giora Feidman is arguably one of the most influential Klezmer musicians.[citation needed ] Feidman created a new perspective for Klezmer, and shared a new ideology for how the music genre could be viewed and appreciated. Feidman gained a large amount of popularity from his work on the musical play, Ghetto, which associated him and his style with the Holocaust. He brought a new theme to Klezmer music which focused on the remembrance of the Holocaust, and a way of "healing" the trauma caused by the Holocaust. Feidman turned Klezmer into a form of personal expression, in which he tried to unite all people (especially the Jews and Germans) and all things through Klezmer. He completely shifted the ideology of Klezmer and explained how Klezmer is in everything, it is even a way to get in touch with religion and communicate with God. However, some people believe Feidman took his ideology too far and turned Klezmer into something that it never intended to become. During the 1980s Klezmer underwent significant transformation, and by the middle-late 1990s Klezmer experienced a new wave of change. Klezmer became a name for many different trends far from where it originated. Klezmer was known as a political statement, a method of healing, amateur musicians getting together and playing music, a way to reconnect with lost traditions. BACK TO TOP
