Muy bueno el chart! Aunque diferimos en un par de cosas, como que Pink Floyd tuviese que estar mas arriba, los discos argentinos que elegiste estan excelentes y Pescado 2 podría estar mas arriba eh. La Maquina es tambien otra banda del carajo! Saludos

I've just ordered 'Artaud' by Pescado Rabioso on Amazon, because of your recommendation. Some great Rock, Punk and New Wave choices.
