 The B-52s-The B-52's (1979) Warner Bros. Records 1-Planet Claire (4:36) 2-52 Girls (3:35) 3-Dance This Mess Around (4:37) 4-Rock Lobster (6:51) 5-Lava (4:55) 6-There's A Moon In The Sky (Called The Moon) (4:58) 7-Hero Worship (4:08) 8-6060-842 (2:52) 9-Downtown (2:57) One of the quirkiest bands to come out of the 70's, this debut from the B-52s is one of my all time favorite albums. They combined surf-style guitar riffs, a new wave sheen and the hilarious sprechgesang vocals to create a sound all their own. The whole record is just pure, unadulterated fun, from the nautical tale of "Rock Lobster" and the sci-fi hilarity of "Planet Claire". Just so great and weird. Favorite Tracks: Planet Claire, 52 Girls, Rock Lobster, There's A Moon In The Sky (Called The Moon, 6060-842 |
New wave/post punk/alternative rock band who had success in the 70's and 80's. They are the ultimate proof that you can be weird as all hell and still have a good load of hit singles. |
