Soda Stereo were an Argentine rock band that is considered by critics to be the most important and influential Ibero-American band of all time and a Latin music legend.〔See: Soda Stereo#La banda mítica del rock latino.〕〔(Gustavo Cerati - Biography - AllMusic ), Retrieved August 26, 2013〕〔(Soda Stereo y los covers más inusuales de sus canciones ) Retrieved August 26, 2013〕〔http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uc_Jb-NeHYM Soda Stereo's true history, Historias Verdaderas, E! Channel〕〔(Doble Vida - AllMusic.com )〕〔(Soda Stereo receive the MTV Legend prize. )〕〔(Gustavo Cerati, una leyenda del rock latinoamericano - Grupo Milenio ) (in spanish)〕 Formed in Buenos Aires in 1982, the power trio made up of Gustavo Cerati (lead vocals, guitars), Héctor "Zeta" Bosio (bass), and Charly Alberti (drums) achieved international success throughout the 1980s and 1990s, playing a pivotal role in the surfacing, development and dissemination of Latin and Ibero-American rock. They were the first Latin rock group to achieve success throughout the Latin world, including their native South America, as well as Central and North America (primarily in Mexico, and within the Spanish-speaking population of the United States); the band even achieved a sizable following in Spain. The band, apart from playing an essential part in the development and popularization of the Rock En Español, Ibero-American rock, and Latin rock genres to a mainstream audience, established what would become the template for many other succeeding popular Spanish-speaking rock music groups. Soda’s early sound was influenced by new wave bands such as Virus, The Police, Elvis Costello and post-punk bands such as Television (this influence particularly demonstrated in Soda's early works, e.g. ''Soda Stereo'' (1984), ''Nada Personal'' (1985), ''Signos'' (1986), and ''Doble Vida'' (1988)). The band gradually evolved into a heavier sounding alternative rock band, eventually drawing influences from classic rock, progressive rock, shoegaze, neo-psychedelia, britpop, and electronic music, particularly with the albums ''Canción Animal'' (1990), ''Dynamo'' (1992), and ''Sueño Stereo'' (1995). In 1997, following a period of friction and conflict, the band broke up due to personal and artistic differences of opinion among its members (including Cerati's now-reality solo career), performing a short and emotional tour that ended on September 20, 1997 at the River Plate Stadium in what is known by the band and its fans alike as ''El Último Concierto'' (''The Last Concert''). In mid-2007, the band announced their return to make a single continental tour called ''Gira Me Verás Volver'', in which more than one million fans gathered, breaking several Latin-American records for concert attendance and ticket sales. Soda Stereo has topped the all-time lists in much of Latin America and in their native Argentina, becoming one of the best-selling Argentinian bands of all time and setting landmarks in record sales and concert attendances.〔Rock De Argentina, Retrieved September 7, 2010〕 Throughout their 15-year career, the band sold over 17 million albums in Latin America alonethis number has since continued to rise following the separation of the band. In 2002, Soda Stereo was awarded the Legend Prize by MTV Latin America, which was the first prize to be awarded of its kind. Four of the band's albums have achieved near-legendary success in Latin America, and were thus included on the list of the 250 Best Ibero-American Albums of all time: these include ''Canción Animal'' (ranked at number 2), ''Comfort y Música Para Volar'' (number 15), ''Signos'' (number 40) and ''Sueño Stereo'' (number 41).〔(Un viaje por los 250 discos del rock Iberoamericano ) Revista AlBorde〕 The band's final work, "Sueño Stereo", has also been named the 4th-best album in Latin American rock history by Rolling Stone.〔(Los mejores 10 discos latinos de rock segun Rolling Stone )〕 Following the band's separation, all three of its members found separate endeavoursGustavo Cerati continued a successful solo career after the band's split, releasing four studio albums (most of which achieved Platinum and Gold status in Argentina; see his discography for more information), while Zeta Bosio worked for a time as bassist for several underground groups and is now touring as a DJ; Charly Alberti has also found moderate success, both with the foundation of his CybeRelations company, and his family band MOLE. In 2010, Gustavo Cerati suffered a massive stroke while on tour for his ''Fuerza natural'' album and fell into a coma, ultimately dying on September 4, 2014. ==History== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Soda Stereo」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
