Música en español o música española?

Music in Spanish, or Spanish music?

A couple of days ago I wrote a post about my favourite records. They were all English-language bands/singers, so I thought I’d write a few words about those songs in Spanish that mean something to me.

This time I’m only going to mention specific artists and songs, not whole albums. I don’t know why, I can’t think right now of an album that as a whole really meant that much to me. Yes, I got the albums and would listen to them, but I would always single out specific songs. My favourite songs.

Now, there’s a secondary question in this issue: Spanish bands that sing in English. Okay then, I’ll include them as well..
So, in no particular order….:

- 091 – La canción del espantapájaros, Otros como yo
- Los Piratas – Fecha caducada, M
- Los Planetas – Segundo Premio, De viaje
- Héroes del Silencio – Héroe de leyenda, No más lágrimas, (actually, any from “El mar no cesa”) Entre dos tierras
- Danza Invisible – 10 razones para vivir, Sabor de amor
- Loquillo – Cadillac solitario
- Duncan Dhu – En algún lugar, Rozando la eternidad, Entre salitre y sudor�
- Luz Casal – Te dejé marchar, No me importa nada
- Mecano – La fuerza del destino, Hijo de la luna, Mujer contra mujer, Cruz de Navajas
- Platero y tú – El roce de tu cuerpo
- Ismael Serrano – Vértigo (this song always makes me cry)
- El último de la fila - Músico loco, Cuando el mar te tenga
- Los Secretos – Ojos de gata, Y no amanece
- Sober – La prisión del placer, Cubos
- Dover – Serenade, Hitter
- Sexy Sadie – A brand new world, Stay behind me
- Amaral – Sin ti no soy nada, Te necesito
- Los Lunes – Los años que nos quedan por vivir
- Joaquin Sabina – Por el boulevard de los sueños rotos, Ruido
- El Canto del Loco – Aquellos años locos, Insoportable
- Radio Futura – Annabel Lee
- Alex Ubago – Sin miedo a nada
- Alejandro Sanz – Toca para mi
- Nino Bravo – Un beso y una flor

And I’m pretty sure that there are many many many more that I’m not remembering at the moment!
