(Nevermind) brought Nirvana to success, but also began a spiritual tragedy. The recommended song "smells like teen spirit" is a representative work from NIRVANA's album Nevermind. The distorted guitar, hoarse singing voice, and sudden explosion in the music brought out Kurt Cobain's inner mania, anger, depression, distortion, morbidity, and fierceness. The contradictions and conflicts are fully displayed, and it also reflects the tender, emotional, fragile and fearful side of KURT. At MTV's unplugged concert, Kurt Cobain looked more like a quiet, shy little girl. Her incompatibility with the outside world had already laid the groundwork for the tragedy.
On April 5, 1994, KURT COBAIN ended his life with a shotgun at his residence, a traditional festival for worshiping the dead in China. The reason for committing suicide is just like his last helpless sigh in "Where Did You Sleep Last Night". No one can really understand it. Maybe God should not stay in the world!

Although the band won some critical acclaim and popularity during the release of its first five albums, it did not establish its own musical identity, and therefore failed to stand out from the many alternative rock bands and become popular. But God seems to be particularly partial to them. Fortunately, the movie "City Of Angels" invited them to write songs for its soundtrack. The song "Iris" (Greek, rainbow) written and performed by John Rzeznik not only won them the 41st place in 1999 Nominated for three awards including Record of the Year, Best Pop Vocal Group, and Song of the Year at the 2016 Grammy Awards, the Goo Goo Dolls' music reputation and sales figures have been lifted to the top.

It seems that the doubt has turned into a sincere vow, "Even if everything is destroyed, I only want you to know who I am!" The beauty of the melody is in sharp contrast with the roughness of the lead singer's voice, and because of this, this music breaks away from the sweetness. In the category of love songs, it has become a super classic that you can never tire of listening to.

Sting, the lead singer and songwriter, is the soul of the police band (because he likes to wear a yellow striped shirt during performances and looks like a bee, so he got the name Sting). Sting is talented, handsome, and very He is popular with female fans. He once had the experience of teaching part-time at a university. The bold teasing of female students in class often made it difficult for him to step down. For this purpose, he composed a song "don't stand so close to me" The lyrics are humorous, the melody is very casual and smooth, the perfect chorus, the strong rhythm, and the extensive use of high nasal sounds seamlessly integrate the free and highly personalized musical characteristics of reggae music originating from the coast of Jamaica into rock music, creating a A unique style of rock music. After their whirlwind success in 1980-1981, they won "Best British Group" at the British Music Awards and three Grammy Awards.
After that, the members of the band started their own plans. After that, the band sadly officially disbanded. Although STING achieved greater personal success, including multiple Grammy Awards, and became the top king-level singer in the European and American music circles, However, the POLICE band’s musical personality and soul have been lost in the music, which always makes me regretful.

Their albums have sold more than 33 million copies worldwide. Lead singer Dolores O' Riordan's beautiful voice fascinated music fans and caused other female singers to imitate her. It is worth mentioning that all of The Cranberries' songs revolve around one theme - calling for peace. They mourned for the children who died because of the war and for the people who lost their homes. They stick to their own musical style and never follow the crowd.

A Night At The Opera (Night at the Opera) is the most classic album of the Queen band. The band spent a lot of energy on the production of this album. It is reported that this is the most expensive production in the history of rock music. An album. One of the famous singles is Bohemian Rhapsody, which I recommend to everyone. It has become QUEEN's signature song. It constantly adds large sections of heavy metal guitar riffs and solos to the gorgeous soundtrack that resembles an opera chorus. It's QUEEN's typical style.

9. R.E.M / "At My Most Beautiful" Rapid Eye Movement Band
Many alternative bands, including NIRVANA, claim that their music was inspired by R.E.M [Rapid Eye Movement Band] . Formed in the United States in 1980, the band's name is "RAPID EYE MOVEMENT", which refers to a physiological phenomenon during dreaming. This band took the ironic attitude of British punk music from the musical level of the new wave and redefined the definition of "alternative" in American rock music. In a sense, they are the fathers of American alternative rock. As a band that truly started underground, they drove a caravan around the American continent in the early days of their formation, spreading their musical ideals and spirit to villages, schools and taverns. Referring to R.E.M's works as underground music may attract objections from many brothers who like the dark and heavy style of underground music, because R.E.M's sales have always been very good, and the music actually sounds more like soft folk rock music at first, and is not the same as the soft music of folk rock. Those underground bands that generally had a violent music style were out of place. But in any case, R.E.M represents the highest level of underground music. You can read deep rock connotations from their soothing melodies, but they have reached an extreme, and the loud guitar noise has become lazy. The violent drum sound has reached the point of elegance, while the lead singer's voice, which should be hoarse, has reached its peak, becoming as plaintive and deep as delicate silk. Things must go to extremes, and the ultimate level of underground music must be so soothing and gentle. Moreover, their music attitude has always been very dark and low-key, always approaching some profound philosophies of life from a very human perspective, unlike the simple or even stupid hedonism of pop music. R.E.M's popularity stems more from more solo guitar accompaniments, soothing and moving melodies, especially the passionate and psychedelic voice of lead singer Step, who has a diamond-like voice. In any case, R.E.M is an immortal music hero in the history of rock and roll, and many of their music have become indelible classics over time.

U2 have written and recorded some truly great and moving songs. Since the 1980s, U2 has been committed to anti-war, freedom and other causes. Perhaps this spirit is the greatness of U2. The album "War" is U2's sincere and emotional response to the religious and political storms taking place in their native Ireland. Included are heartfelt anthems like "Sunday Bloody Sunday" and "New Year's Day." "War" established U2 as a pioneer leader in the field of music that expresses political conscience, and also rectified the name of rock music that was misunderstood by the world as violent, venting, and dirty.
U2 is Nicholas. Cage and Meg. The movie "City of Angels" starring Ryan produced a theme song "If god will send his angels". There is no ostentatious guitar or rapid drum beat. Everything is silent. The lead singer BONO sings in the deepest voice, A kind of extremely painful sadness flows out faintly, but it easily breaks the listener's heart. This song can be said to be the most emotional love song performed by U2, and it is also one of the most endlessly listened to classic love songs in the 20th century.

It is really amazing that the king of classical instruments can perform such original rock music. Billy Corgan seems to be using his superhuman musical talent to illustrate the true meaning of rock in an alternative way. I am so jealous of the talent that the original Smashing Pumpkins keyboardist who played this classic song has passed away. When I listened to this song, the thick and low smell of death swept over me again like a tide. I was trapped in it and couldn't struggle, so I simply let it go. , I suddenly felt that the mourning platform was clear and bright. Yes, during the weekdays, I was confused by the mundane things that I thought were very important, and I was busy running around. But when I had such a real and intimate contact with death, I realized that some of my daily pursuits were actually As dusty and ridiculous.

It is a work that describes the problem of missing children. Accompanied by crisp and clean guitars and calm drums, lead singer Pirna's vicissitudes of life and hoarse voice rise from the bottom of his throat. In other words, the deepest grief and indignation and accusations are chanted from the bottom of the heart. The extreme sadness and anger are usually not tears of blood or roaring, but almost peaceful and light statements, which are more likely to penetrate into the hearts of the listeners. My heart rose and fell with the slightly sad music, and I seemed to see the helpless and absent-minded eyes of a mother who had lost her own child.
