“Rock Lobster”
The B-52’s
How is it that Athens GA. gave us two of the greatest (and gayest) bands of all time, R.E.M. and The B-52's? The ultimate party band, The B-52's wouldn’t hit the top forty until “Love Shack” in 1989, but their legacy began a decade before with “Rock Lobster,” a breath of fresh air which helped Fred Schneider, Kate Pierson, Cindy Wilson, Keith Strickland, and the late Ricky Wilson carve out their own unique niche in pop music.
“Rock Lobster” peaked at #56 in May 1980, but has become a new wave classic.
