Free Music Notes for The B-52's
Free Music Review: An Old Favorite
Hit: 5 Stars
I remember buying this album in high school when it came out and loved it, it was so good being reunited with it some 30 years later. It still sounds as fresh as it did then, with it's main message "If you're in outer space, don't feel out of place, 'cause there are thousands of others like you." A true new wave classic.Free Music Review: The B-52's

The B-52's *****
The fact that an album by The B-52's was the most shocking album of 1979, at a time when Punk bands like The Damned and The Sex Pistols were king is shocking in it's self. But you have to realize it was either the lour angst of punk, the mellow sounds of soft rock, or the dance-able grooves of disco, and then The B-52's....a band unlike any other.
The still to this day infectiousness of 'Rock Lobster' with it's killer guitar riff to the club friendly '52 Girls' and could have been a Cramps song 'lava' alone make this album worth while.
From Schinders' signature nasally voice and the jangly guitar, to the patent bee-hive hairdo's The B-52's were the greatest rock gimmick that never meant to happen and this, their debut album is a testament to that.

I has taken me many years to get the cd version of the original masterpiece, but I finally have it.
When I look back to when this first came out and how it caught everyone's attention in the school smoking area, it truly was an amazing time. This stuff was certainly something new and refreshing sounding and totally off the wall. Hell even the Zeppelin snobs like myself were diggin' it.
Clearly these guys and girls had found a new sound that was just so bizarre it rocked! Over the years the B52's have put out some pretty good stuff, but this release is something special and was the one that got everyone's attention from the get go. It pretty amazing it still sound new today some 40 years later.
Rock Lobster and Planet Claire along are just amazing tunes and well worth the price of the cd.
Great stuff!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My favorite party album! I found out about the B-52's after a friend suggested them, knowing that I'm a huge fan of The Cosmopolitans Wild Moose Party: Pom Pom Girls Gone New Wave NYC 1980-1981 another awesome new wave band. These two bands make you want to get up and dance!Free Music Review: Great Fun Album

I was not familiar with the B-52s music until I moved to the beach in the early eighties. People down there just raved about the B's and I was soon recruited. This album is great fun and has an infectious beat. I have seen the group in concert on three occasions. It was impressive how many of the audience, including myself knew each song word for word. It was always like a concert slash party. Buy this album for the unique beat and happy feeling it will give you. Stand out songs are "Dance This Mess Around" and "Heroe Worship" that is about a rock groupie who will do anything for the group. Cindy Wilson is the lead singer on both of these, and there has been nothing else done like this. Buy it.
