The B - 52’s (The Band) (1 Viewer)

They had some pretty creative songs back in the day before Love Shack & Roam. Very under-rated band. Let’s take listen.
















So what is your favorite song I did not list?

 

[SystemShock]

52 Girls and Private Idaho

Private Idaho.

I heard on the radio yesterday that they are doing a "Farewell tour" this year and calling it a day, with the last show happening in Atlanta (I would have just gone ahead and done it in Athens if I were them, but I guess Atlanta had a bigger venue). That would be a pretty great show to see and event to be a part of, I must admit.

as I was scrolling down, I was thinking 'no rock lobster?'

Snuck it in at the end

How much is true?

In the "Top Hits of the 80's " list that exists in my head, that song is #2 behind Purple Rain which is #1.

Off the top of my head Total Eclipse of the Heart and She Blinded me with Science are both above that song. Give me enough time and I’ll get it out of the top 50.

1982, great show during Monday before Mardi Gras, before they called it Lundi Gras. Remember it vividly, including carrying out a friend at the end who passed out from some bad aCiD.

Good luck with the Jedi mind tricks. The list exists in my head, and is my list. Get your own list.

B-52’s first hits were in 70’s(1979) just FYI. Maybe we need a 70’s band week too.
