Top 10: Soda Stereo

By David Urtecho
After making the Top 10 of the greatest band ever, The Beatles it was very hard to choose a band that could be epic as well. So for this week’s Top 10 we have the Argentinean Rock N’ Roll Trio Soda Stereo, Gustavo Cerati (vocals and guitar), Zeta Bosio (bassist) and Charly Alberti (drums) that surely is one of the greatest bands in the world. So making this list was very difficult, so The FGI had to ask help from its friend’s Dani Carias from Madrid Total and Eric Hoffmaister.
Starting with:
1) Entre Caníbales
2) La Ciudad de La Furia
3) De Música Ligera
4) Ella Uso mi Cabeza como un Revolver
5) Disco Eterno
6) Prófugos
7) Nada Personal
8) Signos
9) Ángel Eléctrico
10) Te para Tres

So be sure to comment if you like it or not this week’s Top 10, and give us your Soda Stereo’s Top Ten.

Recommendations: Feb. 18

For this week the Feel Good Inc. has noticed we have not given Spanish speaking bands the love they deserve, so from now on will try to cover more rock music. But this week recommendations are all of great Spanish speaking bands as La Ley, Soda Stereo, Heroes del Silencio, Enanitos Verdes and we can’t forget in our list a Honduran Band La Tropa de Baco.

First we have La Ley with his full skilled front man, Beto Cuevas that gives wonderful lyrics and emotions to every single song of La Ley’s catalog. So many songs to recommend but I will have to choose “Aqui” for this time. This is the unplugged version.

Then we get Soda Stereo that counts with a guitar virtuoso and magnificent singer as Gustavo Cerati. By petition of Eric Hoffmaister and Dani Carias I leave you hear “Entre Canibales.”

What can I say about Heroes del Silencio? Carlos Urtecho can tell more things that I. One of their best songs, my personal favorite is “Iberia Sumergida.”

Enanitos Verdes I another great band that offers us “Lamento Boliviano.”

An at last but not least, one the greatest rock bands Honduras has seen raise. With an astonishing vocalist Fernando Varela and massive guitar player as Ramses Barrientos. I would say that Tropa de Baco is one of the bands that make Honduran music the best of Central America. Recently I found this acoustic version of “Constante” that they perform on La Caramba on 2009.

I hope you like my recommendations for this week. Feel Good to leave a comment about the blog. Thanks to Eric and Dani for helping me. And remember to visit Madrid Total.
