There is no need to say much about the Beatles, since for the decade of its existence, this legendary Liverpool four managed to conquer the hearts of the whole world and create their own army of true fans. The names of the band members have long become epic.

Another British rock band, which some called "The Beatles of the 70's", was formed in the late 60's. It played for 12 bright years, if not to take into account later short-term reunions.

This relatively young British rock band (created in 1994) is considered one of the best and progressive musical groups of our time. Of course, it cannot yet compete with such titans of industry as The Beatles or Queen, but – as critics say – it is only the beginning of a long way up!

Another legendary band created by 4 talented musicians. With its army of dedicated fans and huge level of popularity, “the Stones” can compete even with The Beatles.

Boney M is considered one of the most popular pop bands in the world. According to various estimations, their official sales are close to the mark of 160 million copies, and the number of illegal copies is more than 300 million!

One of the most successful pop bands in the world, which can be arguably beaten only by Boney M in terms of popularity. The unique Swedish quartet, whose golden hits are well familiar even to the minors, became the first representatives of continental Europe who managed to climb to the top of the charts of English-speaking countries.

Still amazingly popular, this British rock band was at the peak of its popularity in the 70s’. The group released 16 studio albums and sold 300 million of their copies, while the performances of legendary musicians are still considered one of the most popular, vivid and unforgettable shows in the history of the world rock.

One of the first and successful American rock bands of the 80s’ managed to edge out the disco movement, which was still very popular at that time. Up to the middle of the 90s, the musicians enjoyed great popularity, their albums were being sold at a speed of light, and the musicians themselves constantly got on the front pages of various magazines and newspapers.

Again success, again the legendary status! Like most of the bands listed above, this four needs no special presentation as they always take leading positions in list of the most popular musical bands of our time.

It's not just another grunge rock band, it's the whole voice of "the generation X" - the voice of incredibly popular and talented Kurt Cobain.
