The band's 1984 self-titled debut album featured a new wave and ska influenced sound, which evolved into a post-punk style found on their subsequent albums ''Nada personal'' (1985), ''Signos'' (1986), and ''Doble Vida'' (1988). The band's 1990 album ''Canción Animal'' featured the alternative rock anthem "De Música Ligera", their best-known song in Latin America. On their last two albums, ''Dynamo'' (1992) and ''Sueño Stereo'' (1995), their sound evolved to incorporate genres such as shoegaze and art rock. Their farewell concert on 20 September 1997 at the Estadio Monumental in Buenos Aires was released later that year on the live albums ''El Último Concierto A and B''.
Soda Stereo is the best-selling Argentine band of all time, setting landmarks in record sales and concert attendances. The band has sold more than 7 million copies worldwide as of 2007.
All three members remained musically active following the band's split, with Cerati embarking a solo career. Soda Stereo reunited for the ''Me Verás Volver'' concert tour in 2007 and played their final concert on 21 December 2007. Cerati suffered a stroke after performing a solo show in Caracas, Venezuela, on May 15, 2010. He was hospitalized in Buenos Aires, Argentina, and fell into a coma for 4 years. He died on September 4, 2014 from respiratory arrest. Bosio and Alberti reunited Soda Stereo in 2020 for the Gracias Totales tour, which featured several guest singers including Cerati's son Benito and Coldplay’s frontman Chris Martin.
