Anna Jantar was superstar in Polish People Republic. So sad and romantic story, her song "Nic nie może wiecznie trwać" (Nothing can last forever) was propably her last song becasue she died (29 yo) in one of the biggest airplane disaster in Poland. Her daughter Natalia Kukulska was 4 :( and today is popular singer also.
And she should be here in the ´90s, Natalia, bardzo utalentowana od poczátku swietny rock, and where´s Lady Pank, Kombi, Urszula was played 24/7 in 1984/1985/1986. What´s that list? like someones personal? the right thing are Myslovitz and Varius Manx in early ´90s

6:17 "They don't look like musicians." It's funny, because Kuba Sienkiewicz is a neurologist by profession and has a PhD in medical sciences. Many of the stars of the Polish stage of the 1960s and 1970s came from the student movement. They started in student cabarets, at student song festivals, etc. M. Grechuta was a certified architect, Anna German - a geologist, Maryla Rodowicz studied at a sports university, etc. etc. I remember that a great hit in the 1970s was a ballad sung by aviation engineering students ( Boom - Love). Such a specificity of the market without a market economy, which was - at best - semi-professional. But talented artists reached listeners. And today...
Hello Rob😊 Thank you for the video😊 I’m impressed with the way you said “Sylwia Grzeszczak” 14:49 😮 She has a difficult name for foreigners, but you did it perfectly 😊 Greetings from Poland 😊
Since you mentioned Eurovision: Edyta Górniak, singer who did a song for Pocachontas, was representing Poland on Eurovision in 1994 finishing 2nd place, which to this day is highest place any Polish singer got on Eurovision.
I love Polish music from those years, I grew up on it but I also listened to all those British groups you mentioned. I've been a Queen fan since 1975. Greetings from Krakow
Autobiografia is one of the best songs ever created. It's very personal and emotional song. It's exactly as title say - an autobiography of the author. I recommend listening to the full version with lyrics translated to English. Very likely a "tekstowo" website would have it translated (it's Polish lyrics site, that also translates from other languages to Polish or often from Polish to English). I also recommend some songs like Kombi's or Lady Pank's music. They are also very... moralising? I don't know how to call it, but it's not just "singing for the singing", the lyrics are actually important and have deeper meanings. And other great band is Bajm. I cannot not recommend it, haha. Maybe not so deep in the meaning, but still the lyrics has some. It's not just mindless singing. But it's not as deep as the other mentioned. Varius Manx is also another band that has good songs, but I wouldn't say the lyrics is meaningful at all, but it's still great lyrics. And for specific song, I would recommend Edyta Bartosiewicz - Jenny. It's a song about having an alter ego deep inside you. People often mistake it for schizophrenic song, but the meaning is totally different. It's about being your true self, someone that is inside you and people call you crazy for being yourself. It's especially very important song to me, because I was like that. I was different than the others and I was hated for that, I had no friends and nobody liked me. I was the "crazy freak" with his world inside his head. I still am. And I am proud of it. Oh, and also I see "Kolorowy wiatr" was featured here. It's one of these Polish localized songs from Disney movies that surpassed the original greatly. Edyta Górniak did an amazing job singing as Pocahontas. Ironically to me this song is very nostalgic. Ironically, because I never watched Pocahontas as a kid, I hated it, because it was about "boring humans". I watched it in past decade for the first time and this is easily one of the best Disney movie I've seen. For some reason this song is nostalgic to me. Maybe exactly because it's something I didn't have? Because I heard the song on TV when I was kid, but I never cared about movie itself. And when I heard it again, it was longing for something I haven't seen back then. IMO, generally, '90s have the best songs in quantity, but not necessarily in quality. At least in Poland. These songs were just more catchy, melodic and stuff like that. But many songs before were better in quality. To me 2010's and later has too much disco polo songs. Meaningless and just with a lot of noise.
13:51 Sławomir claims that his songs are of specific genre which he calls: rock-polo ("a mix of rock and disco polo" by his words), but that song actualy became a hit... from an actor, who creater 'a character' of musician and released his 1st song in 2015... and 2 years later he's a superstar ;)

You are a bit wrong in your assessment of Polish music in the 70s. Rock was not welcome on the official market at that time, but that does not mean it did not exist. For example Niemen (Enigmatic, Aerolit, Ode to Venus albums), SBB and many others. In the 80s such music started to appear more often to distract the youth from politics (the communists were very wrong)
Super, że porównujesz z Wielką Brytanią, bo przy okazji się dowiedziałam, że kojarze o dziwo wszystkie zespoły, które wymieniłeś w odniesieniu do swojego kraju (generalnie lubię angielską muzykę, chociażby brit pop). U nas w Polsce wiele kanałów muzycznych puszcza głównie zagraniczną muzykę (a polska muzyka to jakiś tam procent kontentu). Nie wiem czy aby też nie śledzimy od lat właśnie angielskich list przebojów jako jednego z wyznaczników tego co jest aktualnie w Europie słuchane muzycznie. Z listy polskiej muzyki w tym video też kojarzę właściwie wszystkie numery, mimo że nie słucham wszystkiego z tego na co dzień. Ale są to tak charakterystyczne dla mnie numery i na tyle obecne, że się zetknęłam z niemal każdym (chociażby na YT właśnie, gdzie słucham trochę muzyki i zaglądam na różne kanały, więc one się przewijają). W Polsce wydaje mi się dawniej się słuchało najwięcej rocka, a obecnie chyba króluje hip-hop jeśli chodzi o ilość słuchaczy. Na YT jest chyba jednak trochę inna statystyka, która tego nie oddaje. Natomiast napewno bardziej uwidacznia się w Polsce w obecnych czasach muzyka electro i wciąż słucha się disco polo. I oczywiście pop ma swoje stałe miejsce. Sanah jest bardzo ciekawa - ona łączy pop z niszowymi rzeczami, taką trochę polską duszę z tym co bardziej uniwersalne. Jest utalentowana. I ma pomysł na siebie. Nie dziwię się, że zrobiła karierę. I sama też jej kibicuje. Pamiętam jak się pojawiła na polskiej scenie muzycznej - to był przełom. Jej pierwszy utwór słuchałam na Eska TV i nie kojarzyłam, że jest Polką, bo to była piosenka po angielsku 'Invisible dress' w zremixowanej wersji. 😂
In Poland there is a so-called wedding songs, which combines different styles, it is important that it is suitable for dancing in pairs or groups, and not for bouncing to the rhythm of the music. Such a band is Bayer Full, which performed on stages in China and sang Polish songs in Chinese and supposedly sold tens of millions of records in China. Here is an example on YT "Majteczki w kropeczki" in Chinese: ua-cam.com/video/1WLTQlqgfGU/v-deo.html
That ranking not make sense at all . I was teenager in 80s and trust me Rock and Hard Rock was a king . Mannam , Perfect , Republika , Oddzial Zamkniety , TSA , Lady Pank , Banda i Wanda , Lombard try to listen those guys !!!
Geographically it's Central Europe. Conventionally, it's Eastern Europe. The end. And don't even get me started on Maria Skłodowska -Curie vs. Marie Curie 🤣

Great video, Rob. But it's kinda sad that this playlist is lack of many huge songs from those years. Anyway, don't be sorry about "Eastern Europe", for England at least Poland is on east xD
Maanam POP? Punk Rock more likely. Rock was POP of 70's. Disco Polo was inspired by the Italy Disco actually. In the 1980-90's a lot of people were able to go for vacation to Italy, and they brought back a lot of things and ideas
The guy whom you called doesn't look like a singer actually is a surgeon (doctor) his name is Kuba Sienkiewicz and in late 80's he started rock band called Elektryczne Gitary ( literally Electric Guitars).
Very good compilation although extremaly to short in its parts, hard to catch it really without few seconds more. Anyway, good stuff. :) Your work is a fine man's work. 👍
It's my personal opinion but polish music peaked around 80s/90s and slowly started it's decline in mid 2000s with small exceptions like Kortez and such.
The guy who doesn't look like a signer is actually a neurosurgeon. His name is Kuba Sienkiewicz, the band is Elektryczne Gitary, and it was a side gig, of sorts, that became popular. But he is a medical doctor, and he just happens to sing.
Ekstra 👍, cieszę się że na Twoim kanale pojawiło się to zestawienie. Wrócę jednak do Horytnicy i twórczości tego zespołu. Zrobię teraz prywatę. Mi osobiście podobają mi się dwa utwory, może znajdziesz chwilę czasu, aby je posłuchać Zeus - Będziemy Dziećmi Kleszcz & Dino - Spacer
Hey, I have an idea for reaction: Since you already know how to read Polish, it might be interesting to see your reaction to Cyber Marian's "Ukryty Polski" ("Hidden Polish") - it's a series of videos here on UA-cam in which the lyrics of famous songs in English and other languages are reinterpreted / deliberately "misheard" as Polish language :) They're quite funny ;) Although you would probably need some subtitles in English in order to fully understand what the "hidden Polish" says and fully understand the humour :J
1. You seem to have quite vast knowledge on Poland (unlike many other reaction UA-camrs). 2. I liked you noticed "disco polo revival" - you named the phenomenon accurately - actually it seems to be no longer cringe but more of a fun and self distance.
As a Pole I have never heard 90% of these songs from say 2005 on. Plus the amount of the cheap Slavic disco on this list proves it’s definitely not the most popular songs from the respective years. It’s the most viewed ones on ytb if anything. Which in many cases are cringe af;) and defo don’t reflect what ppl listen to over there. Quite similarly with eurovision if you’re bringing it up. We have never but a cpl of times sent a song that would give Europe an idea of what’s listened to in PL. Just like the UK I reckon. And then ppl all over Europe believe it’s the Slavic disco or all the crap from recent years that we listen to. No we don’t;)
No Maryla Rodowicz - the Queen of pop in Poland?No Krzysztof Krawczyk? '80s and '90 is all about music and lyrics. I wish you could react on some of these lyrics. I suggest Maryla Rodowicz 'Łatwopalni'. This set of songs is good test for being Polish. As a Pole I can sing all of them since '80 🎉 and as I Pole I would add many more.
Thats bulsheet I was bornin 74.This song listened my mum we ....Edyta Gorniak Ich troje, Eross Ramazotti , Europe , Erasure , Depeche Mode, Michael Jackson George Michael, Madonna Whitney Huston, ...etc.Alternativly for fun polish Mydelko Fa
6:50 Lmfao this compilation is quite popular on Polish reaction channels and in at least 5 i saw lately ppl mistake POCAHONTAS with MULAN 😂😂😂 Im wheezin here Rob 😂
In regard to 70's and 80's you should definitely listen to more songs with translation and with someone who could explain the meaning between the lines.
You say that the singer from Elektryczne Gitary (literally means "electric guitars") doesn't look like a typical singer... maybe because in fact he is educated as a surgeon :D Also, check out great young band Kwiat Jabłoni (literally "Apple Blossom") which is a duo of his daughter and son.
Born and raised in Poland, turned 15 in the year 2000, and honestly I didn't know most of the songs from the 90's on. It's not what was played in the radio or in tv, or what people listened to at home. Honestly, this list makes us look kind of stereotypical, with our funny disco polo songs, sticking to out of date music and liking medicore (at best) stuff. It wasn't like that, and it's not like that.
So Rob... You like rock music? I reccomend You to listen the polish opening to anime Shaman King. The vocalist Wojciech Bujoczek has a really cool vocals there.
Also, an interesting story about Mr. Zoob: they wanted to call the band "Pan z UB" (Mister from UB = the secret police), but this was rejected by the censors, so they changed it to Mr. Zoob (where "Zoob" pronounced in the English way is a kind of funny pronounciation of "z UB")
Hi #Rob If you like music look for 'Spytaj Milicjanta' by 'Dezerter'. This song was anti-Soviet song approved by the Soviets. Extremely sarcastic but they didn't catch it. I don't want to give any references, people can make their own mind. May be interesting though.
I think Brits are people who know the best how to make music. Without you, this world would be sad and gray. Im glad that my father at '70 '80 be able to do some magic and somehow get Pink Floyd records. Wasn't easy behind iron courtain. Those vinyls shaped my music taste years after.
Disco polo is catchy and let's be honest, we all dance to this on weddings 😂 world of music is big and every type of music will find their admirers and that's beautiful ❤
It is also a fun fact that in Poland since '60s rock was called Bigbit or big-beat for political reasons. (Not to be confused with big beat, British electronic music genge of the '90s. I now, confusingly close names). Haven't found a clear info until when, but I guess at least since the fall of communism the term isn't really used anymore. As in communists saw anything coming from the west as bad, but kowing they couldn't really stop rock being created in Poland they decided to side-step the problem calling it by a different name and pretending it was not the same thing : ) Other music genres that were believed by the communists to be a tool of "american imperialism" were jazz and twist. As a result there was a big underground jazz scene in Poland, especially prominient in pomerania. Jazz became more accepted by the governemnt around 1954, sprouting some jazz festivals. To this day Sopot organizes an annual Sopot jazz festival : )
One artist who poped up from talents shows and became pretty popular in last years, but isn't on the list: Daria Zawiałow... her style, especialy in first few songs is heavily influenced by polish rock music from 80s. Strongly recommending her songs ;)
Please, Check out "Acid Drinkers" :) And after few years, and learning pl language You will appreciate "Grubson - Na Szczycie" - "Fatsy - On the summit".
As a 90's kid this was a very nostalgic video for me. But I'm terrified how level of these songs dropped from 2010. Of course these are the only ones of every year, most popular, but it tells a lot, how music taste changed. Except of amazing Sanah I think songs from 2010-2023 were awful. The last three I don't even know they exist and I regret I met them here :) I'm also surprised that in 2000's there weren't any songs of Ich Troje and Doda, these were great phenomens in Poland.
Maybe because even singers in Poland didn't earn much? Even the most popular ones barely made ends meet. Although it wasn't that long ago, back then we were still being robbed and cheated by neighboring countries. Polish singers created their works in backyards and crumbling apartment blocks. Friendships Even then did not exist very much as they do today. So don't expect vocalists from those years to look like a picture.
You're reading it all wrong, bruv. That's the most popular songs. Had you looked at similar set from UK, you wouldn't find Pink Floyd, The Clash, Fatboy Slim or Tricky there. What you'll get is Elthon John, Wet Wet Wet and Rick Astley 😂
I have seen other people reactions to this video clip, but no one had such terrible sound like here. To make sure it’s not fault of my device I watched on two different devices with the same horrible audio sound. Just saying so you will know, and hopefully fix it so it will never happen again. Music is showing a true about variety of Polish music, but its not relevant to what was popular and when. “Autobiografia” was the mist popular in late 90 at least in my school. Disco Polo is well known ages before 2000, along with pop and rock music in Poland. No one really liked it, but everyone will dance to it in years 1990-2010. Lady pank, perfect, and other rock music 3 generations at least grew up listening to it.
The most important song for the protests were sung by - Kaczmarski. You did not react to that from what I can see, and its a big one. English subtitles. Kaczmarski - mury - ua-cam.com/video/3at2qjKuOpU/v-deo.html&ab_channel=AgtfCZ Absurdal metal/rock 2015+ - big influences are also - Kabanos, Nocny Kochanek and Łydka Grubasa

other types of music that is popular on wedding: ballads, italian disco music (especialy older songs) and more modern pop songs (you can hear songs from 70's, 80's, 90's as well as 2010+ or last year song of summer)
Great video, Rob. But it's kinda sad that this playlist is lack of many huge songs from those years. Anyway, don't be sorry about "Eastern Europe", for England at least Poland is on east xD
Please see Grubson - Na Szczycie. It was in this list :) Cool rap song with a beautiful message
Too short pieces.
I had 3 copyright songs. Even more of songs were longer
@@RobReacts1 yeah.... youtube
This selection doesn't even touch the surfice ;)
Hey, i just wanna say that im suprised how well u managed to read Polish surnames, "Grzeszczak" went fluently.
Maanam POP? Punk Rock more likely.
Rock was POP of 70's.
Disco Polo was inspired by the Italy Disco actually. In the 1980-90's a lot of people were able to go for vacation to Italy, and they brought back a lot of things and ideas
The guy whom you called doesn't look like a singer actually is a surgeon (doctor) his name is Kuba Sienkiewicz and in late 80's he started rock band called Elektryczne Gitary ( literally Electric Guitars).
Very good compilation although extremaly to short in its parts, hard to catch it really without few seconds more. Anyway, good stuff. :) Your work is a fine man's work. 👍
Bit hard to do longer songs due to copyright
@@RobReacts1 Ye, too bad... I appreciate Your skills even more :)
No i po Wodeckim, Santor, Dżemie, Varius Manx, ..., wjeżdża disco polo i widzisz, jaka to jest "jakość"
It's my personal opinion but polish music peaked around 80s/90s and slowly started it's decline in mid 2000s with small exceptions like Kortez and such.
13:25 it also says something, that 2 songs on this lists are polish songs made for disney movies ;)
BOTH are very popular to this day ;)
I didn't know almost any of the 2020s songs (except for the first one 🤣) but those old ones... You should listen to them with the lyrics translation 😃
I love all your videos❤❤❤ Regards
6:33 I think I once read an article about him. More like an interview where he said he was a surgeon.
The guy who doesn't look like a signer is actually a neurosurgeon. His name is Kuba Sienkiewicz, the band is Elektryczne Gitary, and it was a side gig, of sorts, that became popular. But he is a medical doctor, and he just happens to sing.
Ekstra 👍, cieszę się że na Twoim kanale pojawiło się to zestawienie. Wrócę jednak do Horytnicy i twórczości tego zespołu.
Zrobię teraz prywatę.
Mi osobiście podobają mi się dwa utwory, może znajdziesz chwilę czasu, aby je posłuchać
Zeus - Będziemy Dziećmi
Kleszcz & Dino - Spacer
Guy who doesn't look like singer is actually a doctor😂❤❤
Hey, I have an idea for reaction: Since you already know how to read Polish, it might be interesting to see your reaction to Cyber Marian's "Ukryty Polski" ("Hidden Polish") - it's a series of videos here on UA-cam in which the lyrics of famous songs in English and other languages are reinterpreted / deliberately "misheard" as Polish language :) They're quite funny ;) Although you would probably need some subtitles in English in order to fully understand what the "hidden Polish" says and fully understand the humour :J
1. You seem to have quite vast knowledge on Poland (unlike many other reaction UA-camrs).
2. I liked you noticed "disco polo revival" - you named the phenomenon accurately - actually it seems to be no longer cringe but more of a fun and self distance.
Thanks for this video.
As a Pole I have never heard 90% of these songs from say 2005 on. Plus the amount of the cheap Slavic disco on this list proves it’s definitely not the most popular songs from the respective years. It’s the most viewed ones on ytb if anything. Which in many cases are cringe af;) and defo don’t reflect what ppl listen to over there.
Quite similarly with eurovision if you’re bringing it up. We have never but a cpl of times sent a song that would give Europe an idea of what’s listened to in PL. Just like the UK I reckon.
And then ppl all over Europe believe it’s the Slavic disco or all the crap from recent years that we listen to. No we don’t;)
No Maryla Rodowicz - the Queen of pop in Poland?No Krzysztof Krawczyk? '80s and '90 is all about music and lyrics. I wish you could react on some of these lyrics. I suggest Maryla Rodowicz 'Łatwopalni'. This set of songs is good test for being Polish. As a Pole I can sing all of them since '80 🎉 and as I Pole I would add many more.
Maryla is a bit earlier, than this video contains.
Łatwopalni, so depressing.
@@pwalk4160 Has deeper meaning
@@BeataBeata-v8i Yes. Has deeper meaning and is depressing.
Thats bulsheet I was bornin 74.This song listened my mum we ....Edyta Gorniak Ich troje, Eross Ramazotti , Europe , Erasure , Depeche Mode, Michael Jackson George Michael, Madonna Whitney Huston, ...etc.Alternativly for fun polish Mydelko Fa
9:47 A song from my childhood ❤ 🎶
6:50 Lmfao this compilation is quite popular on Polish reaction channels and in at least 5 i saw lately ppl mistake POCAHONTAS with MULAN 😂😂😂 Im wheezin here Rob 😂
Haha ah close enough
In regard to 70's and 80's you should definitely listen to more songs with translation and with someone who could explain the meaning between the lines.
You say that the singer from Elektryczne Gitary (literally means "electric guitars") doesn't look like a typical singer... maybe because in fact he is educated as a surgeon :D
Also, check out great young band Kwiat Jabłoni (literally "Apple Blossom") which is a duo of his daughter and son.
Tak się tym wkurwiłem, że przygotuje dla Ciebie swoją playlistę w tym samym temacie...
Born and raised in Poland, turned 15 in the year 2000, and honestly I didn't know most of the songs from the 90's on. It's not what was played in the radio or in tv, or what people listened to at home. Honestly, this list makes us look kind of stereotypical, with our funny disco polo songs, sticking to out of date music and liking medicore (at best) stuff. It wasn't like that, and it's not like that.
So Rob... You like rock music? I reccomend You to listen the polish opening to anime Shaman King. The vocalist Wojciech Bujoczek has a really cool vocals there.
Also, an interesting story about Mr. Zoob: they wanted to call the band "Pan z UB" (Mister from UB = the secret police), but this was rejected by the censors, so they changed it to Mr. Zoob (where "Zoob" pronounced in the English way is a kind of funny pronounciation of "z UB")
Kora R.I.P.was the best female rock singer
Roob man ,do this for me ,check out two things, evolution of Polish hiphop and Kolenda warszawska ,music by Zbigniew Praisler
Hi #Rob If you like music look for 'Spytaj Milicjanta' by 'Dezerter'. This song was anti-Soviet song approved by the Soviets. Extremely sarcastic but they didn't catch it. I don't want to give any references, people can make their own mind. May be interesting though.
Sylwia Grzeszczak! Wow! Hats off Rob! Respect!
I think Brits are people who know the best how to make music. Without you, this world would be sad and gray. Im glad that my father at '70 '80 be able to do some magic and somehow get Pink Floyd records. Wasn't easy behind iron courtain. Those vinyls shaped my music taste years after.
Disco polo is catchy and let's be honest, we all dance to this on weddings 😂 world of music is big and every type of music will find their admirers and that's beautiful ❤

It is also a fun fact that in Poland since '60s rock was called Bigbit or big-beat for political reasons. (Not to be confused with big beat, British electronic music genge of the '90s. I now, confusingly close names). Haven't found a clear info until when, but I guess at least since the fall of communism the term isn't really used anymore.
As in communists saw anything coming from the west as bad, but kowing they couldn't really stop rock being created in Poland they decided to side-step the problem calling it by a different name and pretending it was not the same thing : )
Other music genres that were believed by the communists to be a tool of "american imperialism" were jazz and twist. As a result there was a big underground jazz scene in Poland, especially prominient in pomerania. Jazz became more accepted by the governemnt around 1954, sprouting some jazz festivals. To this day Sopot organizes an annual Sopot jazz festival : )
I don't normally listen to hip hop or rap but I like the British group the Streets.
One artist who poped up from talents shows and became pretty popular in last years, but isn't on the list: Daria Zawiałow... her style, especialy in first few songs is heavily influenced by polish rock music from 80s. Strongly recommending her songs ;)
listen a polish band called Turbo for example pozorne życie, miecz beruda,
Please, Check out "Acid Drinkers" :) And after few years, and learning pl language You will appreciate "Grubson - Na Szczycie" - "Fatsy - On the summit".
Discopolo na Eurowizję - napewno będzie śmiesznie i przynajmniej oryginalnie 🙌🏻🙌🏻😊
Wilki -Son of the blue sky to jest piosenka ale jej tu nie bylo
As a 90's kid this was a very nostalgic video for me. But I'm terrified how level of these songs dropped from 2010. Of course these are the only ones of every year, most popular, but it tells a lot, how music taste changed. Except of amazing Sanah I think songs from 2010-2023 were awful. The last three I don't even know they exist and I regret I met them here :) I'm also surprised that in 2000's there weren't any songs of Ich Troje and Doda, these were great phenomens in Poland.
Check Męskie Granie
Yeep come to Poland
yes
Come on, if the hell exists, they play disco polo there round the clock.
good music
Zeno Moja - Darko Domjan to stara chorwacka piosenka z lat 80'
2008 this song is cover song from 🇭🇷
Jacek Kaczmarski was the king of political protest song in the 80s.
Maybe because even singers in Poland didn't earn much? Even the most popular ones barely made ends meet. Although it wasn't that long ago, back then we were still being robbed and cheated by neighboring countries. Polish singers created their works in backyards and crumbling apartment blocks. Friendships Even then did not exist very much as they do today.
So don't expect vocalists from those years to look like a picture.
Yes, Sanah is my favourite Polish singer too. I love her.
You're reading it all wrong, bruv.
That's the most popular songs. Had you looked at similar set from UK, you wouldn't find Pink Floyd, The Clash, Fatboy Slim or Tricky there. What you'll get is Elthon John, Wet Wet Wet and Rick Astley 😂
Practically no hip hop? It's been the most popular genre of music in Poland for years.
True, most of 2000s till now hip hop was one of the biggest in Poland

Still a legend
I have seen other people reactions to this video clip, but no one had such terrible sound like here.
To make sure it’s not fault of my device I watched on two different devices with the same horrible audio sound.
Just saying so you will know, and hopefully fix it so it will never happen again.
Music is showing a true about variety of Polish music, but its not relevant to what was popular and when.
“Autobiografia” was the mist popular in late 90 at least in my school.
Disco Polo is well known ages before 2000, along with pop and rock music in Poland. No one really liked it, but everyone will dance to it in years 1990-2010.
Lady pank, perfect, and other rock music 3 generations at least grew up listening to it.
It's a pity that the most popular and not the best, the general musical taste is never too good
The most important song for the protests were sung by - Kaczmarski. You did not react to that from what I can see, and its a big one. English subtitles.
Kaczmarski - mury - ua-cam.com/video/3at2qjKuOpU/v-deo.html&ab_channel=AgtfCZ
Absurdal metal/rock 2015+ - big influences are also - Kabanos, Nocny Kochanek and Łydka Grubasa
Kaczmarski!
@@Paolo-gj7ip Obława and Bajka o Głupim Jasiu are my favorite ones.
Kaczmarski - mury is some translation/deep inspiration from song of Lluís Llach "L'Estaca". This is also a protest song, against General Franco.
@@krzpob Wow, thanks! Im listening right now : ) with subtitles.
@@kotisded There are so many. "Mimochodem", "Ofiara", "Encore" etc.,etc., etc. ... .
