Disco de Hombres G: “Los Singles 1985-2005”

Hombres g have been undoubtly the most important band of Pop- rock in Spanish of the all times.

This is a great cd, that mix the clasics of the groups with the most recent songs recorded last years, since their return. Very recommendable. This is a jewel for the collectors and who never had the chance of listening this band in its first stage.

The single, "No lo sé" extracted from the last recorded cd by Hombres G on 2.004 "Todo esto es muy extraño" is a very funy history with the sign and typical style of Hombres G.

I first heard Hombres G when I was in elementary school in Panama. The song was Devuelveme a Mi Chica, which was funny, catchy, and just a great rock n' roll song. Most of their songs can be best described in that same way, whether you are talking about Venezia or Ataque de las Chicas Cocodrilos, these songs are not to be taken seriously. There are a few slow ones that are more serious and sentimental like Temblando, but really, the essence of Hombres G are the fun songs. Is this a required Spanish Rock album? For me it is because it was part of the bands that I heard growing up like Echymosis, Soda Stereo, Los Enanitos Verdes, etc. If it is for you too, this is a bargain for the number of songs you get.

The 1 star review is completely undeserved and it is obvious that the reviewer does not understand Spanish Rock. Songs don't have to be serious all the time and songs like Vitaminas by Soda Stereo, Florecita Rockera by Atercipelados, and Cerdo by Molotov are fun and it's ok that the secret to life is not within their lyrics. The most incomprehensible thing about that review is the fact that the band U2 even comes up. That right there should let you know that you should take that review with grain of salt.

If you like Spanish Rock, Hombres G is one of the classic bands that should be in your collection.

prople saying this band is no good better see how the dance floor fills up with there hit songs. as a dj playing in major los angles night clubs i should no these bands were doing this sound in the 80's braking new ground for latin musicians.so stop hating.and stop sounding ignorant!

I hate this band! This is one, if not the worst and most unoriginal band in the entire world! The noise these "would be musicians," produce is simple at best, shallow, unoriginal, copied and their lead singer is an idiot with one of the stupidest voices I have ever heard.

In short, everything is predictable about these losers who conquered the minds of poor musically uneducated people! Once you hear one of their songs, you practically heard them all. They never evolved, nor learned anything new, despite their 20 year "career," and sadly, there were a lot of musically ignorant people awaiting their "much anticipated come back."

So, forget about finding any intelligent lyrics, well thought musical arrangements or vocals with these guys.

If you really want to listen to a good rock and or pop music from Spain, listen to Heroes Del Silencio, now this is a band with very complex, well thought, well arranged and well written songs, with a real lead singer who has more in common with Jim Morrison from The Doors.

Or you can listen to Mecano, another band from Spain, this band has a lot of simple songs from their earlier period, but they are only simple compared to their later material. With Mecano, you can tell that they evolved in many aspects, because they have many very beautiful and very complex songs with a lot of gray matter, creativity and put into them.

Some of their songs have even been covered by Sarah Brightman!

Or, if you want to listen to an awesome Mexican rock group, with awesome arrangements and well thought music and lyrics, grab a copy of any Moenia CD, especially Moenia and Adicion, these guys produce awesome and very complex electronic music with great lyrics.

Caifanes is another Mexican group that has some great very original and complex material, specifically El Diablito, El Silencio and El Nervio del Volcan.

And if you really want some awesome material in English, get a copy of Pink Floyd's The Wall, or Queen's Greatest Hits, Alan Parson's Project Greatest Hits or anything from these guys: Paul McCartney, John Lennon, Sting, Elton John, Eric Clapton!

Or literally ANY CD by the only band from which ALL music is derived one way or another, The Beatles.

(I just noticed that they are all British, well, grab any CD from U2, they're Irish and they are truly amazing! American? Well, there are many such as Toto, Journey, The Doors, Chicago or Simon & Garfunkel)
