The B-52’s – The B-52’s

Vinyl LP

From Wikipedia:

The B-52’s is the debut album by American New wave band the B-52’s. The kitschy lyrics and mood, and the hook-laden harmonies helped establish a fanbase for the band, who went on to release several chart-topping singles. The album cover was designed by Tony Wright (credited as Sue Ab Surd).

The B-52’s peaked at number 59 on the Billboard 200, and “Rock Lobster” reached number 56 on the Billboard Hot 100. In 2003, the television network VH1 named The B-52’s the 99th greatest album of all time. Shortly before his death, John Lennon said he enjoyed the album. In his 1995 book, The Alternative Music Almanac, Alan Cross placed the album ninth on the list of the “10 Classic Alternative Albums”. In 2020, The B-52’s was ranked number 198 on Rolling Stone magazine’s list of the 500 greatest albums of all time.
