Soda Stereo is not only the BEST latin rock band, it is THE BEST band ever. My Spanish isn't even that good but there is no band like them.

Rio Cana, Banda XXI is something I'd enjoy on the radio but wouldn't buy the CD. Having said that I have 4 Soda Stereo CD's and 5 Gustavo Cerati (lead singer) solo album CD's.

I'm really passionate about them. I love my music, rock music, and to me Soda Stereo is better than Pink Floyd, Fleetwood Mac, The Beatles, KISS and such. But everyone has their own taste.
