Russian Rocks Too (part 5)

3: 1980--1991

By 1979, it's become apparent that sticking to art and progressive rock traditions has become a creative dead finish for Soviet rock. The arrival of punk rock was initially failed to received with enthusiasm by the Soviet rock community. Soviet rock musicians had no tradition of taking part in loud, dissonant, ‘dirty’ music not primarily based on engaging melodies. They were still enamored of a ‘clean’ sound, melodic tunes and elaborate arrangements, and striving for a chic musical palette. The liberating power of punk wasn't evident to them initially.
