Notes: The
80s were coming and the B-52's were a sure sign of things
to come. A healthy dose of kitsch, humor and the new wave
flavor of space-age bachelor pad. The party band out of
Athens, Ga. brought some much needed fun to the music.
Punk was too angry or political. Prog, too intellectual.
Swaggering hair rockers were too silly to consider. And
then came the Rock Lobster and all his friends. There's
even a send up of Pet Clark's downtown to close out the
record. The cover photo speaks for itself.
