Can anyone recommend a good Russian rock group? I'd just like to get a feel for the language in terms of hearing it, rather than reading all the time. 

Спасибо!

IMHO, there are really few of them.
One might try Несчастный случай ("The Accident"). Their music is well written and performed, and the lyrics are extremely literate. And the singer's delivery is good too.

I especially recommend their earliest, or latest albums. Not the ones in the middle, although they are more popular :-(

I could recommend DDT, the singer sings quite clearly though the sense of the lyrics might be too hard to understand =)

Кино (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kino_%28band%29)

[oryx_and_crake]

Аквариум

You might find this site (http://russmus.net/music.html) helpful. It has a bit of information on some bands, as well as lyrics and English translations, which I find useful sometimes.

what kind of joke was that?

[quadro.livejournal.com]

ленинград. with сергей шнуров.
although its not a all-the-fuel rock band^, youd like them.
and the language they sing - is the most adequate, i suppose.

I'm partial to Spleen, but they might not qualify, exactly as rock :F

[popstarjunkie.livejournal.com]

Haha, uhm, Zveri is fun.
Sort of pop-rock.

I qualify them as rock. I would also recomend Alex Vasil'ev solo album "Chernoviki (Drafts)".

I think nobody will beat our everlasting star - Philip Kirkorov (former Pugachev:) ).

My 5 kopecks: Аквариум, Ария, Серьга, Кино, Чайф, ДДТ.
And note thatn Russian musick is different from British&American: in Russian not the music, but the lyruics is the main thing. So the lyrics can be veeery hard to understand ;)

Try to translate, heh:

Фантастический день; моя природа не дает мне спать,
Пожарные едут домой: им нечего делать здесь.
Солдаты любви, мы движемся, как призраки
Фей на трамвайных путях;
Мы знаем электричество в лицо - но разве это повод?
Развяжите мне руки;
Я вызываю капитана Африка...

Сколько тысяч слов - все впустую,
Или кража огня у слепых богов;
Мы умеем сгорать, как спирт в распростертых ладонях;
Я возьму свое там, где я увижу свое:
Белый растафари, прозрачный цыган,
Серебряный зверь в поисках тепла;
Я вызываю капитана Африка...
