Turkey's tradition of band-format music took shape from the mid-1960s onward. Pioneering Anadolu rock groups popularized a way of working where several members shared songwriting, composing and arranging. In the following decades this tradition branched into rock, alternative rock, ska, punk and pop. This poll compares bands and groups rather than solo artists.
For every band, the founding year, genre and a notable album, where available, were checked. When an exact founding year could not be confirmed, only the genre and known work are given. Whether a group is still active was not used as a criterion, so disbanded groups with lasting influence are included too.
The list spans 1960s Anadolu rock, the 1990s alternative rock wave, 2000s rock and pop bands, and newer groups. A band formed in Germany that helped introduce Turkish-language rap sits alongside a pop group assembled through a talent show only a couple of years ago, showing how the idea of a "band" has changed over time.
Given how many groups Turkey's music history includes, not every known name made the first round. Use the suggestion form to propose a missing band, and the objection form to flag anything that looks incorrect.
If an option is wrong, missing or should be removed, let us know.
