So I've replaced them with Chichi Peralta, El General, & Ruben Blades
--
Latinos stand up! Spanish-speaking gringos also stand up! It's list time! Get your music nerd on!
FYI, Jicamarca @ RYM has a GOAT25 project going for Spanish-language albums here. If you click the list, search for my name, where you can find my list, with RYM links to each album.
Per Jicamarca, eligible albums are:
Spanish-language albums, made anywhere
-or-
albums made in the Spanish-speaking countries, regardless of the language used on the album
Feel free to contribute your vote. If you're not on RYM & don't want to join RYM, I could submit your list on your behalf.
For my list, I imposed a few rules on myself in addition to Jicamarca's rules
1 maximum 1 album for each artist
2 only pick either Spanish-language albums, or albums with a mix of English & Spanish lyrics
3 pick my favorite albums, as opposed to other criteria such as historical impact/influence
4 restrict to studio albums, with the only exceptions being the compilation albums of Celia Cruz & Cypress Hill
5 for reference, I list the country of the artist. For non-Spanish speaking countries (USA & FRA), I also list the ethnicity of the artist. For instance, Orishas is a French group of ethnic Cubans. Here is Wiki's 3-character country code list.

smh..and im not that nig on spanish musica...
plus u know them old folks need that Vincente Fernandez
yo Julio Iglesias fockin sucks.
El General, I wanted to include, but all I have is his greatest hits compilation. Jicamarca's rules are you can't include comps, unless they don't have a studio album.
You should vote Belize
Yo..i was just gonna vote..but my spanish aint up to par, felt like I walked into a room with pie on my face...lol
Julio is legend..all the shorties (mostly old tho) go nutz when he performs

Bien hecho, huevón. Tan interesante ver que la mayoría de estos albumes vienen de mi colleción personal de CDs que tu has pirateado através de los años.
