like i go on a lot of outraged rants when drunk but nothing compares to my outraged rants about how criminally underrated the b52s are
people always like ‘o lmao they’re the rock lobster guys right’ yeah yeah they are but rock lobster is lowkey a work of genius and so is love shack. their first two albums are masterpiece level idc what anyone says
52 miles west of venus – dreamy eerie beautiful
52 girls – garage rock guitar, kate and cindy singin about girls
give me back my man – my fave song of all time, raw emotion, cindy is the best vocalist ever
mesopotamia – produced by david byrne which, apparently, did not go well. great song though, not typical b52s
private idaho – a gay anthem (tbh which b52s song isn’t a gay anthem) this is an example of why ricky wilson is such a killer guitarist they weren’t quite the same after he died
dance this mess around – idk how cindy screaming why dont you dance with me im not no limburger gives me chills but it does i’m pretty sure it’s like… why don’t you dance with me i don’t smell like terrible smelling cheese so. fuck any music without a sense of humour i won’t accept it
the deadbeat club – one of the first songs i ever remember being emotional about as a kid idk i guess i knew i was a loser even then. i had a cassette tape of their time capsule best of album i remember the silver paper booklet so wellanyway idk why i’ve done this but. listen to the b52s fuck they’re the best. somehow both very much a product of their time while also being super ahead of their time. also all of them, gay
@kazimirov fuck i forgot channel z!!!!!!!!! fuck something about the girls singing something big and lovely~~~ was so hopeful and perfect. i think you and i had the same childhood i was similarly disappointed by the lack of respect haha
@kazimirov yes!!!!! is that you mo dean? so goddamn good. also i forgot legal tender and also every single other song they have

Tags: the b 52s, yes indeed all of this, and if you're listening to the david-byrne-produced mesopotamia, you do not want to miss cake, my unproblematic faves.
