It's hard to believe, but Santana released Supernatural 10 years ago. Not only did the album go platinum 15 times in the US, but it sold 25 millions copies worldwide and won nine Grammy Awards. The album featured guest spots from Rob Thomas, Eric Clapton, Dave Matthews, and Cee-lo to name a few. The Onion recently ran a great piece about the song "Smooth", which appeared on the album and featured Rob Thomas of Matchbox Twenty.
