Going back in time again. There are still many "heavyweights" from the 80's and 90's to know.

* Pistones (1980-1986). Pop-rock. Here, Metadona ("Methadone") and Lo que quieras oír ("What You Want to Hear"). The second one is an awesome song dedicated to Gloria Swanson (a famous actress from Hollywood's silent-film era):



♫ ♪ "(...)
Who will shine for you today?
What could remain now?
There's only me,
your last admirer
Act again, only for me.
I'll say what you want to hear
(...)
" ♫


* Parálisis Permanente (1981-1983). Precursors of Spanish post-punk. Autosuficiencia ("Self-sufficiency") and Vamos a jugar ("Let's Play"):



And Un día en Texas ("A Day in Texas"), Adictos a la lujuria ("Addicts to Lust"), Esa extraña sonrisa ("That Strange Smile").


* Alaska. 80's popstar.



Also A quién le importa and Quiero ser santa ("I Wanna Be a Saint"), among others.


I will continue...
