I too absolutely adore Angel Canales. He's is best known for Puerto Rico's Second "National Anthem" (Lejos De Ti)
I don't really have one favorite but many.

If someone were going to put me on and island and force me to pick only one salsa artist/band to dance to (and there would have to be people to dance with on the island), I would pick El Gran Combo.
If I were disabled, unable to dance, and stuck on a similar island where I could only have one salsa artist/band to listen to, I'd probably go with Cheo Feliciano (although maybe I'd go with Willie Colon, if I could include all his collaborations).
(Don't you love these scenarios?)
I didn't grow up with this stuff, but I love Hector Lavoe and Angel Canales both. I think Lavoe's style is less specialized, so to speak, than Canales'. Lavoe seems to cover a broader range of emotion.

I tend to have favourite songs rather than favourite bands/singers, but I confess I'm currently in love with the voice of one of the singers of LA 33 (the one that sings even-numbered tracks :lol: -- of which La Pantera Mambo is the best known of course, but he sounds absolutely delicious in Soledad and La Vida Se Pasa A Mil too).

This is how I started to find out who I really liked. I liked songs, so I figured I would find out who sung them. Then I noticed that I would specifically like the songs sung by particular singers. When I finally realized that the voice needed a band for me to really enjoy the song, which led to buying more and more music for specific bands.
The last case I can remember was from the song Magdalena. I figured out that Miguel Quintana was the driving voice. Then the band was simply too hot to handle, so I asked my collectors friends, and they led me to Ernie Agosto's La Conspiracion. What a hot band! Every CD I own by them is way great!
Now that I know a bit more about musicans, I tend to blindly buy CDs based on the musician line-up, regardless of band. That has thus far worked for me. I haven't bought one bad CD in about 2 years.
How about this one
