>> For a moment I thought that anybody could listen on music.yandex.ru but alas...
VK also has a lot of music but I'm old school and I prefer to download stuff so I can put it on my players
Streaming is not for me.

>> So you are an advanced listener
Absolutely! I use both my ears!

Tips for good music are very welcome b.t.w.

Most Russian pop music has a nice beat to it and is great for speedwalking.

I also like progressive rock but for now I mostly look at Poland for that because they have many excellent bands in that genre (Millennium, Riverside, Quidam,...).
If anyone knows good Russian progrock bands I'd be very interested.

The music that Макс Фадеев has made in the past I like a lot too. Too bad he mostly stopped making it. I guess he has his hands full with producing etc.

KEiPA is great '80's music (think of New Order, The Cure, etc.)
