The scope of their songs, the indelible mark of their social harangue and the catchy simplicity of their melodies made Los Prisioneros a band with unique characteristics in the history of Chilean rock. Never before had a local ensemble so effectively combined the codes of British pop and rock with a strong and urgent political message, delivered outside of partisan ideologies. An even more surprising success if one takes into account that the trio flourished in the midst of the military dictatorship, a period in which the dissemination of youth music was restricted by systematic censorship and countless difficulties.

Los Prisioneros has been one of the best-selling groups in the Chilean recording industry and the popularity of their songs extends throughout Latin America. The germ of his training was the friendship that from adolescence united Jorge González (voice and bass), Claudio Narea (guitar) and Miguel Tapia (drums). Three classmates at the Liceo 6 Andrés Bello in the San Miguel commune, who shared an interest in the music of foreign rock bands such as Kiss, The Beatles and The Clash. The band formed by the three friends made their debut under the name Los Prisioneros in July 1983, at a festival organized by the Liceo Miguel León Prado.

Carlos Fonseca, son of the owner of the Santiago record store Fusión, later became his manager and financed his first independent recordings. La voz de los 80, his first cassette, appeared in 1984 under the Fusión label and was later distributed massively thanks to an agreement with the Chilean subsidiary of the EMI label. Songs like "Paramar", "Who Killed Marilyn?" and "You never look bad with anyone" were sharp hits of social satire dressed in the austere garb of punk. The group's irruption into the national music scene marked a true milestone: never before had such direct rock been heard in Chile, far removed from the virtuosity of progressive musicians and the solemnity of the contemporary Canto Nuevo movement. With the wit of youth, the lucidity of the lack of expectations and the leadership of the charismatic Jorge González, Los Prisioneros approached the train of the nascent Latin rock with a firm step.

Kicking stones (1986) transcended alternative and university circuits to become a record of national repercussion, thanks to the force of compositions such as "Why don't they go?", "Move industries" and, above all, the suffering one " The dance of those who are left over ".

His next works, La cultura de la garbage (1987) and Corazones (1990) were records in which the sound of Los Prisioneros increasingly accommodated synthesizer pop, to which González incorporated winks to the Latin American romantic ballad. Paradoxically, these latest albums, while consolidating their international career, distanced their members as a result of deep artistic and personal differences.

After a first separation in 1990, the group rearticulated in 2001 to offer a series of recitals and publish a new album. However, since 2006 the trio is considered to have been definitively dissolved. Its three founding members are currently developing musical activities, either as soloists or in collaboration with other musicians.

New stations

Every station on the N railroad sells tickets to every other station. When it added some new stations, 46 additional sets of tickets had to be printed.

How many is "some"? How many stations were there before?

    Layout A has the BL2 and Layout B has the Zoltan crew member, those are the only two versions of the ship that I have. Which do you think would be better to do what you're describing?

      I got my crews mixed up. Either way your beam is an extra but if power and zoltans add a point of power to whatever broom they're in. It's also a good decoy for AI that targets systems. B gets you two extra power but your start season isn't quite as good, still good enough. There's no real hard and fast way to play, ship quality is mostly in how much you can do with it
