Vasos y besos

Vasos y besos (Glasses and kisses) is the second studio album by Argentine rock group Los Abuelos de la Nada (The Grandfathers Out of Nowhere, or The Grandfathers of Nothingness). It was released in 1983. Among the songs that stand out are the hits "No se desesperen" (Don't Despair) and "Mil horas" (A Thousand Hours); the latter is considered by some to be emblematic of Argentine rock.

In 2007, the Argentine edition of Rolling Stone ranked it 29th on its list of "The 100 Greatest Albums of National Rock".
