It is well known that the appearance in the West of groups such as the Beatles, Rolling Stones", "Scorpions" had a huge impact on both the world and domestic pop music musical culture. The difference is that Western bands, when starting their careers, were free to choose the recording studios that suited them best. In the USSR the situation was much more complicated. The legendary Russian rock originates in the late 60s and early 70s and becomes almost the dominant direction. Almost every school, both in big and small cities, has its own rock band or vocal-instrumental ensemble (hereinafter referred to as VIA). The most talented of the children receive a good musical education and dream of starting a professional career. This is where the difficulties begin. The fact is that official VIAs have the opportunity to record discs at the monopolist Melodiya studio, perform concerts, and participate in television programs. But they do not have the right to perform their own songs if they are not members of the Composers' Union. Rock bands sing whatever they want, but do not receive platforms for performances and are forced to release their music as samizdat, give concerts in apartments and in provincial clubs remote from cities. Those who went through this famous rock- groups like “Time Machine”, “Slavs”, “Scythians”, “Skomorokhi”. Censorship was strict. One could easily end up under arrest for unauthorized concerts. No matter what, musical groups in this difficult time for domestic music are growing like mushrooms. Such truly wonderful groups appear - such as “Gems”, “Ariel”, “ Funny boys", "Flowers", "Earthlings", etc. The lyrical compositions of these groups are amazing: they are simple and at the same time piercingly melodic. It is not surprising that they are loved and remembered to this day. So, in the 70s, VIA and rock teams existed in parallel, whose members often ran from one camp to another and back. The 80s are famous for the fact that at this time 1 rock club appeared in Leningrad and even real rock festivals began to be held. The purpose of these events is some kind of ordering of the rock movement, which at times really gets out of control. The TV show “Musical Ring” appears, in which some rock bands are allowed to perform. The second powerful wave of Russian rock is rolling in: the rock Olympus of the groups Kino, Alisa and others is literally exploding. Their performance style is defined as “new way”. Agatha Christie begins playing her famous psychedelic music. At the peak of popularity are “Nautilus Pompilius” and “Zoo”. Time is running, the order in the country is changing. Rock musicians even manage to take part in the filming of films, which, by the way, are very good and later became cult films (Needle, Assa, Burglar). Some VIA and rock groups still perform successfully and attract large audiences. They also perform new compositions, talented and professional. But for some reason, the frantic delight of the audience is caused by songs that have already been listened to a million times. It seems that everything is the same best musicians created precisely in Soviet times.

The group's album "Happy Nation / The Sign" is the best-selling debut album in history. In the United States, the record was certified platinum nine times. It was the first debut album in the world to have 3 songs from it (“All That She Wants,” “The Sign,” “Don’t Turn Around”) reach number one on the Billboard Mainstream charts Top 40.
