The group is dubbed
La Aplanadora del Rock (The Leveller of Rock) and is known for mixing
rock music with Argentine
folk music, and cryptic, hard-to-get lyrics. The band started with a lukewarm reception on their debut album,
40 dibujos ahí en el piso (40 drawings there on the floor), which featured a
new wave-like sound reminiscent of British band
Sumo. However, the group soon rose to prominence in the history of
Argentine rock with a very different album,
Acariciando lo áspero (Caressing the rough), released in 1991, and then consolidating further in 1993 with their politically committed next album,
La era de la boludez (The age of idiocy), and with the Best Album of the 2000s for
Narigón del siglo, both won in a poll by the users of
Rolling Stone Argentina. Furthermore, in 2010 on the list of Best 50 National Songs Of The Decade by a group of critics of
Rolling Stone Argentina, "Spaghetti del rock" was awarded with the 5th place and "Par mil" with 21st place. This consistent record led in 2005 to the award of the band with the Platinum
Konex Award as the best Rock Group of the 1995–2005 decade, distinction shared with
Patricio Rey y sus Redonditos de Ricota. Other than founding members Mollo and Arnedo, different
drummers have completed the normal trio: Gustavo Collado (1988–1990); Federico Gil Solá (1990–1995); Jorge Araujo (1995–2004); and since 2004, Catriel Ciavarella. Covers not committed to CDs include
I Want You (She's So Heavy) and
Day Tripper by
The Beatles. In their shows, Divididos has played songs such as "Rock and Roll" and "Moby Dick" (
Led Zeppelin), and "Little Wing" (
Jimi Hendrix). The band also covers some
Sumo songs, usually in
medley format. ==Discography==
