Dell MP3 Player, sucka. No iPods here.

I've been trying to get into this band for a while, but I don't know where to begin. Any help out there?

everything by Los Lobos is good. start anywhere.

the double album retrospective would be a good beginning.

there are a few live numbers, a wonderful rendition of Sabor a Mi, and all the essentials, including Don't Worry Baby, Will the Wolf Survive, and One Time One Night.

great variety.

"How will the Wolf Survive" is a good one to try.

I'm assuming you're just looking for song titles and not albums?

Mexican-American folk/ roots / Tex Mexy stuff:
Anselma
Let's Say Goodnight
Ay Te Dejo in San Antonio
La Pistola y El Corazon
Saint Behind the Glass

Bar Band Bluesy Rock Stuff:
Don't Worry Baby
Come On Let's Go
One Time, One Night
That Train Don't Stop Here

Big Time Guitar Freak Out Rawk:
Mas y Mas
Done Gone Blue

Slow Soulful and Beautiful Stuff:
A Matter of Time
Buddy Ebsen Loves the Nighttime (instrumental)
Angels With Dirty Faces
Tears of God

Only Los Lobos Could Sound Like This Stuff:
Kiko and the Lavendar Moon
Dream in Blue
Life Is Good
Revolution

If you want one album recommendation, it's "Kiko and The Lavendar Moon."

Not to mention the most famous song (together with Antonio Banderas) 'El cancion del mariachi'.

Also 'sleepwalk' is nice (cover from the shadows).

It would be a shorter list for the Los Lobos songs NOT to include.
