And what about the 70's? For instance, Los Diablos: Un rayo de sol ("A sunray", 1970), Mi talismán ("My Talisman", 1973):

♫ Sha la la la la, oh, oh, oh, ♫
♫ A sunray, oh, oh, oh ♫
♫ brought me your love, oh, oh, oh... ♫

Fórmula V (Eva María, Cuéntame, Vacaciones de verano) and Nino Bravo (Un beso y una flor, América, Libre) were famous too, in both sides of the Atlantic:

Libre ("Free", 1972) is dedicated to Peter Fechter:

"(...)
Free

Like the sun at daybreak
I'm free as the sea
Like the bird who escaped from his prison
and finally can fly
Like the wind that takes my moan and my sorrow
I walk without a rest
behind the truth
and I will know, at last, what freedom is
(...)"

The song became famous again 12 years ago because of this cover.

And the Argentines, always in the vanguard, making awesome rock music. These are big names: Manal, Pappo, Vox Dei and Pescado Rabioso. Speak for themselves:

Presente ("Present", 1970) and Despiértate, nena ("Wake up, Baby", 1972):
