Содержание
Music - The best means of returning mentally to the days of youth and youthfulness. As a rule, certain songs evoke warm memories and pleasant sadness, because the best moments of our life can be associated with them!
Hits from 1976We will continue to talk about them today, many people associate them with the carefree days of their youth, and maybe even their childhood. So: who was listened to in the USSR in 1976? Here is the second part of our selection.
Queen - "Somebody To Love"
One of the band's most rhythmic and uplifting romantic compositions Queenwhich was very much loved in the USSR! In fact, the band itself was also very much loved in our country. Queen quickly won the hearts of millions with their melodicism, colourful stage presence, as well as the charisma and unique voice of the lead singer Freddie Mercury.
Today, the band is considered cult and its songs are immortal classics.
Slade - "Nobody's Fool"
Another British band that Soviet music lovers adored in the 70s was Slade. Remarkably, these pioneers of glam rock enjoyed much more recognition in our country than at home! The secret of success in the USSR remained a mystery even for the band members themselves....
If we're talking about 1976, the song was particularly relevant that year "Nobody's Fool". But it's not the only hit performed Noddy Holderwhich was listened to with pleasure in the Soviet Union.
Smokie - "What Can I Do"
"What Can I Do" - The song that instantly made tens of thousands of Soviet citizens fall in love with the British rock band from Bradford... It is very melodic, lyrical and heartfelt. It didn't matter whether you understood the lyrics or not. The composition penetrated to the very heart.
Remarkably, some humourists gave the hit its own, more accessible and understandable name: "I'll get some vodka!".
ABBA - "Dancing Queen"
On the love of Soviet citizens for the group ABBA There is no point in talking about it - this love has been preserved to this day! There is nothing surprising in this, because in their time ABBA were a kind of "Swedish Beatles", only in the genres of disco and pop. There is even such a notion, "ABBA-mania.". Does that ring a bell?
"Dancing Queen." - one of the Swedish quartet's favourite hits, which is not outdated nowadays! Anyway, the number of views of the clip on YouTube is confidently approaching one billion, which says a lot...
Queen - "Bohemian Rhapsody"
We thought long and hard about what other foreign hit to include in our selection, and decided that we'd leave out the iconic "Bohemian Rhapsody" would be a terrible mistake. Queen were masters of their craft, and almost every song has become a classic. But "Bohemian Rhapsody" is still the most recognisable calling card of the band, sung by everyone - from small to large.
What about ours, domestic hits?
VIA "Bluebird" - "Maple"
We are sure: for the majority of Soviet citizens, this composition became a symbol of love. Extremely sensual, romantic, beautiful... Before the song "Maple." it was hard to resist.
Today, when listening to this tune, many people willy-nilly return mentally to the warmest moments of their lives. And that's wonderful!
Alla Pugacheva - "Harlequino"
A smash hit performed by Pugachevawhich sounds fresh and cheerful even after all these years. What's more - even today's generation of children are delighted with the wind-up song. "Harlequino."!
No matter how one treats the diva, it is impossible not to recognise that in her time she gave the country a lot of great hits... And many of them we enjoy re-listening to from time to time to this day.
Yevgeny Martynov - "Swan Fidelity"
Beautiful song, beautiful performance, beautiful lyrics... It's no surprise that so many people have grown to love it so much and still do to this day "Swan Fidelity.".
"Where are you, my beloved?
Come back soon
With her delicate beauty
Warm my heart."

You're suddenly not pretty..."
