DDT, by and far. The group's music, and especially Shevchuk's lyrics and vocals, have really hit home so to say. It's kind of difficult to relate DDT's relevance and genius in English - they're just so specifically rooted in Russian, even less so Russian language and culture but more the Russian 'soul', "dusha", a certain spirit which is uniquely inherent to people of that country. And of course it works on a broader level, too, since there's a lot of wisdom, pain and joy in this music that is completely 'living' - feeling, suffering, lashing out and savouring.
Real rock-n-roll soul, needless to say
