Their debut album Pasto was recorded and released in 1992 and has guest appearances by Gustavo Cerati, Daniel Melero and members of other groups which, at the time, were also part of the New Argentinian Rock (or Sonic rock) movement, such as Martes Menta and Juana la Loca. The only single released from Pasto was "D-Generación", which was a minor radio hit at the time and made the upcoming band known to Argentinian listeners. The album has an eclectic style, with many of the tracks being short skits (such as "41" de Ocio", which consists of the band chatting between songs; or "Mutha Fucka", a track which seems to have been made by cutting and pasting together various audio samples taken from TV).
For their second album Trance Zomba, released in 1994, DJ Peggyn joined the band. As a a consequence of the band having now 6 members, this album has a mixture of Rap, Funk and Hardcore Punk, but at the same time even psychedelic rock influences. "Malón", "Montañas de Agua", "Patinador Sagrado" and "Koyote" were the singles released for this album.
In 1996 the band released the highly experimental Dopádromo. This album has all sorts of music from the highly psychedelic "Zumba" and "Su Majestad", hard rock tracks as "El Medium and "Su Ciervo", instrumentals and even a hasta un bossa nova: "Perfume Casino". Destacan también "¡Viva Satana!" and "El Médium" were the biggest hist from this record.
Their fourth album, Babasónica showcased a heavier edge than their previous three, being influenced by heavy metal with distorted riffs and guitar solos on many songs ("Egocripta", "Demonomanía", "El Adversario"). On the other hand, the album has a softer acoustic side, with the delicate ballads "Sharon Tate" and "Esther Narcótica". The band has declared that this was meant to balance out the roughness of the heavier songs. Some tracks even include both stylistic approaches at once making for interesting contrast, like "Parafinada" or "Convoy". Lyrically, the album deals with the concepts of satanism. The band has declared that this approach isn't meant to be taken at face value, but as homage to classic metal, and as an attack on common Western ways of thinking, such as religion.
On their fifth release Miami, DJ Peggyn participated as a member of the band for the last time, he was sacked as his contributions were no longer felt necessary for the band. In 2000 he went for a solo career, renaming himself Jimmy Dolor. The album cover was designed by Alejandro Ros. It is a map of Argentina turned 90 degrees clockwise, resembling a map of the east coast of the United States; the map places a fictional Miami in the Argentinian province of Misiones. After the release of the album, Cosme, their manager, left the band.
After the release of Jessico (2001), Babasónicos shifted into a more pop-influenced sound and reached massive mainstream success, becoming one of Latin America's top bands.
Their follow up records, Infame (2003), Anoche (2005) , Mucho (2008), A Propósito (2011), Romantisismico (2014) and Discutible (2018), further expended this sound and merged it with their early psychedelic and experimental influences.
In 1999 they collaborated with alternative rock artist Ian Brown on a track for his second studio album, Golden Greats, that bears their name.
In early 2008, the official site informed that after a long and painful struggle with Hodgkins lymphoma, bass player Gabriel "Gabo" Mannelli passed away on January the 12th. He was 38 years old.
Since then, Babasónicos teamed up with long-time-friend Carca to temporarily replace Gabo, until late 2011 when Tuta Torres (ex-bassist from Los Látigos) joined the group as their new official bass player, with Carca now serving as a multi-instrumentalist.

Un séquito de vana idolatría
Sos tan espectacular
Que no podes ser mía nada más
Tenés que ser de todos
La piel, los labios
Donde roza la bambula

No significa nada
Si no hay una misión
¿Cuál es?
Hacerte muy putita
Probar tu galletita
Con toda devoción

Derramas esa impresión
De ser la acción que encarna la ternura
A tu alrededor no hay humildad

Serán mi prado, mi vergel

The lyrics of Babasónicos's song "Putita" are controversial and have been the subject of much debate among music listeners. The song seems to be addressing a woman who is seen as nothing more than an object of sexual desire. The singer tells her that she must be for everyone and not just for him. He goes on to describe the woman's beauty, comparing her skin and lips to a paradise.
However, the singer acknowledges that fame means nothing if there is no purpose. He then introduces his twisted mission, which is to make the woman a "putita" (a derogatory term for a female prostitute) and experience her sexually with reverence.
The lyrics of "Putita" are a commentary on the objectification of women in society. The song portrays a male perspective that sees women as objects of sexual desire to be used by men. The song highlights how women are often objectified and reduced to nothing more than their physical appearance, and how some men view them as nothing more than sexual commodities to be consumed at will.
Overall, the song is a disturbing expose of the toxic masculinity that pervades our society and how women are often reduced to nothing more than sexual objects.

Imaginate que estas escuchando este tema, te quedas dormido, luego te despertas, es el año 2003, en pleno reinado del Rock Nacional, en plena niñéz/adolescencia, los primeros amores, la rebeldía el fútbol, una vida sin preocupaciones...
