Recall the famous rock bands of the 80's

Rock of the eighties is characterized by the fact that the greatest success is achieved by new genres, and the directions of former years are receding into the background. Rock bands of the 80s created by very young musicians due to their desire to express themselves clearly become the founders of new trends in rock.

The greatest success was achieved in the 80 years, "Dire Straits", performing blues-rock compositions with jazz elements. Depeche Mode musicians created their own unique style in the genre of electronic rock music. In the middle of the eighties the "Irish invasion" begins. Dublin rock bands of the 80's led by "U2" bring their style to the execution of post-punk, adding echoes of Irish ballads.

This new trend in rock music had a huge impact on the development of heavy metal in general. In 1981 the album "Iron Maiden" under the name "Killers" became gold in all countries of the world.

In the eighties a new trend in the style of heavy metal - thrash. He combined heavy metal with his melody and punk rock with its rigidity and speed. Trash in those years was the heaviest trend in rock music. The speed of the game was brought to the physical limit, the sound of a guitar Maximally distorted. The group "Metallica" not only led a new difficult direction, but also gained the reputation of a supergroup. The music of the rock band of the 80's "Metallica" is more complicated than anything that was written in rock. Such complex designs, which performed "Metallica", did not yet know the world of heavy metal. "Metallica" is the most commercially successful rock band. Sold more than 100 million copies of her albums around the world.
