The main reason why I consider that this is an excellent album is because the lyrics are very powerful, imaginative and literate and because the way Nacho Vegas sings goes perfectly well with the mood of the music and the lyrics. I also like the sound of the album, as especially the guitars, but also the rest of the instruments sound very clean and crispy.

The 100th position, just not to leave this band out of the list. Some people think that Hombres G are not that good, and they might be right, but I just have a soft spot for them. I can understand that musically they are mediocre but in the other hand, their melodies are quite good and the lyrics are creative.
The band is very charismatic, the songs are fun and the music is accessible. They have more punch and power than Mecano, are more likable than Soda Stereo, more consistent than Los Fabulosos Cadillacs, not as artsy as Café Tacvba and more accessible than Radio Futura.
They say that the Hombres G phenomenon is the closest thing to Beatlemania in the Spanish speaking world. I agree, as they were everywhere when they started in the mid 80´s and they are still classics liked by younger and older people. In this debut album Hombres G already have some of their best songs.
To say that this album, silly and a bit cheesy, is not one of the most influential in Spanish rock would be incorrect. [First added to this chart: 05/23/2015]

Rating metrics:
Outliers can be removed when calculating a mean average to dampen the effects of ratings outside the normal distribution. This figure is provided as the trimmed mean. A high standard deviation can be legitimate, but can sometimes indicate 'gaming' is occurring. Consider a simplified example* of an item receiving ratings of 100, 50, & 0. The mean average rating would be 50. However, ratings of 55, 50 & 45 could also result in the same average. The second average might be more trusted because there is more consensus around a particular rating (a lower deviation).
(*In practice, some charts can have several thousand ratings)
This chart is rated in the top 1% of all charts on BestEverAlbums.com. This chart has a Bayesian average rating of 91.7/100, a mean average of 92.4/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 92.3/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 6.2.

Really cool chart, great comments which you added for pretty much every album. Lots of recommendations for Spanish- and Portuguese-language music. Based on the albums in your list that I know and love, I'm sure to find something I like from the albums I haven't heard.

Nice diversity - especially with the number of Latin American & jazz inspired artists/albums ~ definitely unique in that sense and says something about your personal tastes. Personally, I didn't get all that excited by your selections ~ which says something about my personal tastes.
I am sure the following observation will change over time, but I was intrigued by what I guess is a coincidence in your chart having 11 albums in each decade of the 80's, 90's, 00's & 10's.
BTW, nice to see one entry from Australia.

Nice list. Interesting to see classic rock mixed with stuff I've been unaware of. Thanks for the eye opener!

I have mixed emotions about this chart on the whole.
‘Escafandra’ is at large not wrong about it being good in terms of its variety chronologically and its regional scope. The former is something I demand of charts; whilst the latter does add a great deal of interest. The jazz albums also add a lot of interest although they are by no means unique. However, I must say that the chart is weak on one decade – the 1990s, from which the albums included – with the conspicuous exception of ‘Dummy’ – really are to my mind overrated at best.

The White album is a good pick for number 1. It's stuck with me a lot longer than Abbey Road

You put the Beatles on number 1 what is clearly cool. But i like the rest of your list as much as i can. Some artists i don´t know before from Spain and Brazil but that makes the diversity .

You put a lot of effort on this. Really good chart with amazing picks. Im more of a Revolver/Highway 61 kind of guy. Though theres good tracks im not too fond of White Album/Desire. I 100% agree on Sgt Pepper though, Strawberry Fields and Penny Lane shouldve replaced some of those weaker songs.

¡Hey, man!
I hope you liked La Barranca. Just came to check your recommendations. Now I'll have to pay more attention to Low, I've heard some songs but I will check that album. It was hard for me to put Beatles' White Album for the same reason as yours: it is so irregular. But I guess we put it there for that exact reason, I love those albums where you can tell the band is finding exactly different sounds and ideas that's why I love Pearl Jam's No Code or Radiohead's Kid A.
Anyway... ¡Saludos desde México!
