I thought B-52s were a meme band... what the fuck this is a 10/10

This and Wild Planet are the ONLY B-52's albums you'll ever need.

>>72823439
What about Mesopotamia, my dude? It's great.

>>72823415
rock lobster was the first meme song
>>72823439
disagree

>>72823415
great taste
Planet Claire is one of my favorite New Wave songs

>>72823415
The A-side is fantastic
>>72823513
I always considered I Am the Walrus to be the first meme song.

>>72823415

Funny, I was going to make a post about B-52s earlier. I just recently really started listening to them and was pleasantly surprised.

love shack>roam>>>>>>>>rock lobster

>>72825550
nah

Yeah, surprise, Ricky Wilson was a gifted guitarist. Too bad his lust for unprotected, gay anal sex stole him from us.

>>72825592
>reckless driving on a dirty back road
the song's kinda sad if you think about it

>>72825650
Gee, I... never noticed that. :(

PASS THE TANNING BUTTER

>>72823415

It's almost as if "meme" doesn't mean "bad"

>>72826884
shhh.. don't tell them

The guitar is so cool on their old albums. I think he used a Mosrite for a '50s sound. Nobody else uses them, sadly.

The drums on 52 Girls are fucking god-tier, some of the tightest grooves in the biz

>>72827200
glad to see someone else loves the drums there too

Cosmic thing is a great summer feel good album I don't think I've ever seen posted here

>>72823415
It's only considered a meme because Family Guy had to go and meme-ify Rock Lobster
Rock Lobster is a 10/10 anyway though

>inb4 BUT IT WASN'T A ROCK

>>72827894
IT WAS A ROCK LOBSTER

>>72823415
Most goofy "meme" bands are 10/10. Ween, Devo, etc. The real meme bands and albums that you gotta look out for are the serious ones

>>72825592
One of the most important guitarists nobody ever mentions.

I saw them play this year. They're getting rather old but they still seemed to have a great time on stage.

>>72828064
pretty much this
>Ween
>Devo
>The B-52's
>Mr. Bungle
>XTC
>Oingo Boingo
>Cardiacs
>Frank Zappa
all great artists

>>72828064
>>72828189
don't forget butthole surfers

I feel like most hipster retro stuff would be totally unnecessary if people just listened to B-52s.

>>72825537
Mine too but with Oingo Boingo in place of B-52s.

>>72825550
Cosmic Thing has some good pop songs, but they don't compare to Rock Lobster

>>72825592
But all the coolest people have a lust for unprotected gay anal sex

>>72827289
Boredoms liked it too

Planet Claire
52 Girls
Dance this Mess Around
Rock Lobster
Hero Worship
Downtown

This album is filled with grade A new wave. I had no idea those girls were so feisty based on their singles.

>WHY WONT YOU DANCE WITH ME I AINT NO LIMBURGER.

>>72828618

hell yeah.
Legal Tender & Song for a Future Generation are my fucking jam

My gf put on this album at one of her indie college parties she goes to and apparently they loved it. Normies hust dont have proper ways to get exposed.

>>72828845
>his girlfriend goes to parties without him

dude, I've got bad news for you...

>>72828866
>having so much insecurity you project it onto people you don't even know

They never made a 10/10 album but all their records have at least three 10/10 songs
Expect Funplex that is so meh I can't even remember if it had any good songs

>>72828964
yeah that's how 4chan works, get with the program

>>72828189
Why is Sporkcore so great lads?

>>72829200
Because not taking yourself so seriously opens up the possibility to be more creative

>>72828686
Honestly every song on the album is grade A. It's so tight: all killer no filler. It really is the perfect new-wave album.
