Sons Of Rock (1988) is Menudo's 26th album (5th in English).
It features Ricky Martin, Raymond Acevedo, Sergio Blass, Rubén Gómez and new member Angelo García. This is the first English album the band records of all new material without any previous Spanish songs translated into English. Angelo replaced Ralphy Rodríguez, after just one year of tenure, Ralphy's parents pulled him off the band citing cruel treatment by management. In late 1988/early 1989, Sons Of Rock was re-released with a new album cover. This time it featured a neon magenta color, as well as a new picture of the group and current line-up: Ricky Martin, Sergio Blass, Rubén Gómez, Angelo García and new member Robert Avellanet. Robert replaced Raymond Acevedo after he quit the group in the middle of their tour supporting this album. Some say he became upset when he was told it was his time to leave the group. Raymond felt Ricky Martin would have to be replaced before him but management wanted to keep Ricky longer so Raymond felt betrayed and quit before his replacement was ready to join the group.

“A Country is not a mere territory; the particular territory is only its foundation. The Country is the idea which rises upon that foundation; it is the sentiment of love, the sense of fellowship which binds together all the sons of that territory.”

“So cruel prison how could betide, alas,
As proud Windsor, Where I in lust and joy
With a king’s son my childish years did pass
In greater feast than Priam’s sons of Troy?
Where each sweet place returns a taste full sour;”
—Henry Howard, Earl Of Surrey (1517?–1547)
“The acorn’s not yet
Fallen from the tree
That’s to grow the wood,
That’s to make the cradle,
That’s to rock the bairn,
That’s to grow a man,
That’s to lay me.”
—Unknown. The Cauld Lad of Hilton or, The Wandering Spectre (l. 2–8)
