Russian Music?

[macishman]

I'm looking for a site where I can either download, order, or just listen to Russian music. Hearing something in music helps me to remember more sometimes than just language drills. So far, I haven't been able to find a resource like this on the net.

Would you have any suggestions?

Last.fm is a great place to find russian music. If you're not sure what exactly you're looking for you can just type "russian" in the search box and it will start playing random music tagged as russian. If you enter a band or artist name it will play that artist and others that are similar.

These were suggested in another forum by another user:

I've found some good songs on youtube - videos with lyrics in both english and russian. Heres the index:

And here are a couple of my favorites (clear pronunciation!)

On this site you can search for lyrics of different Russian musicians. Often the lyrics page has a video with the song as well!

The following is a karaoke site, which you also can search for specific songs/musicians.
It plays the music without the sung lyrics but with written prompts of the lyrics.
