La Nación. It was made available in newsstands on April 3. That month, ''Rolling Stone Argentina'' was issued as a special "double anniversary edition", with the list being released alongside the magazine's usual publication.

Artaud (album)
''Artaud'' (; commonly pronounced by Hispanophones) is the third and final studio album credited to Argentine rock band Pescado Rabioso, released in October 1973 on Talent-Microfón. It is essentially the second solo album by singer-songwriter Luis Alberto Spinetta, who used the group's name despite their disbandment earlier that year. The album is named after and dedicated to French poet Antonin Artaud, and was conceived as a reaction to his writings. The album's original packaging is famous for its odd shape, which the record label initially resisted. Spinetta presented Artaud with two morning shows at the Teatro Astral on Avenida Corrientes, accompanied only by his acoustic guitar. Each audience member received a copy of Spinetta's manifesto ''Rock: Música dura, la suicidada por la sociedad'', in which he presented his vision of the Counterculture of the 1960s, countercultural Argentine rock movement. It is considered Spinetta's masterpiece and one of the most influential alb ...

In 2007, the Argentine edition of ''Rolling Stone'' ranked it fourth on its list of " The 100 Greatest Albums of National Rock".

Manal
Manal was an Argentine rock group formed in 1968. Together with Almendra and Los Gatos, they are considered founders of Argentine rock. The band members were Claudio Gabis on guitar, Javier Martínez on drums and vocals, and Alejandro Medina on bass and vocals. Martínez was the band's lead vocalist and leading songwriter. Trajectory 1968–1969: Formation The band grew out of the mythic ''"La Cueva"'' club. Martínez was a regular, and Gabis played guitar with several bands, including Miguel Abuelo's ''Los Abuelos''. Gabis was not keen on joining a band regularly as he was committed to college, but eventually was persuaded by Martínez, and Manal was born. The name "Manal" was based on the word ''mano'' ("hand"), which had acquired an additional meaning among young people in Buenos Aires, to refer to "things" or "the situation" (e.g. ''cómo viene la mano'', lit. "how's the hand coming", would mean "how are things going"). Martínez would use "manal" as a made-up a ...

National Reorganization Process

In Argentina it is often known simply as the ("last military junta"), ("last military dictatorship") or ("last civil–military dictatorship"), because there have been several in the country's history and no others since it ended.

Congress was suspended, political parties were banned, civil rights were limited, and free market and deregulation policies were introduced. The President of Argentina and his ministers were appointed from military personnel while Peronists and leftists were persecuted. The junta launched the Dirty War, a campaign of state terrorism against opponents involving torture, extrajudi ...
