The B-52's Albums
View Albums >The B-52's Biography
Eschewing everything but the pursuit of fun, Athens, GA's B-'52s burst onto the New Wave scene in 1979. Their mix of '50s/'60s kitsch and pure pop instincts produced some classic campy tunes ("Rock Lobster," "Private Idaho"). The band's popularity hit new peaks a decade later with the release of COSMIC THING and the huge hits "Love Shack," "Roam," and "Deadbeat Club," showing how fully the group had penetrated the pop-culture landscape.
