I first came on board as a fan when I heard the Whammy album. The previous few years, I had been gravitating toward the New Wave and College Radio movement. While serving in the Army in rhe mid80's, one of the guys in my platoon asked if I liked Southern Rock. I responded: "Yeah, I love the B-52's and R.E.M!" Thanks for posting, this was a blast!

I always though Ricky should have been buried in that cemetery next to Baldwin Hall. Oconee Hill is nice but so lonely.

Escape from New Jersey!!!

THe B52's 1st album came out 45 years ago today- July 6th.. which happens to be my birthday.. i bought that album for my birthday on that day.. that album has a particular sentimental value for me needless to say...its also wonderful and original

Wow the guys sit like real men 😮❤ You just don't see that anymore

My daughter now 47 and I still love to rock out to LOVE SHACK like we did while traveling back and forth to college.

@10:30 Cindy in the left shot looks just like Gail Zappa to me. xD

I love how many people and cars showed up for one truck. 😅

I remember throwing paper cups of water at the next door neighbors roof when would go up on the roof to watch the bulldawgs throught the hedges. and Wendy-O would scare all of to death when she would cut the grass wearing nothing but a black tape bikini I would slip through her back yard and she would scream come here you little bas@@$ I don't know who told her that I was the one who would get some of her gas for my gokart. You it would all ways blow my mind as wild and crazy as she would act when she would chase me down the sidr walk, her and my mother would sit on the porch or go to the tea room and Wendy was intelligent smarter than you would think she was. And she would talk to my mother about her giving me to her ans then when ever my mother go to get something from kitchen she would threaten me for stealing her gas or that time I put grease all over here porches and steps her and some other just tour the world down and that time I found that lock and put it on the door of that shed Oh she was pist hell I was only 9, or ten. My dad owned some old houses all over the place and if he though you were going live in athens he would sale you a house. I remember my Dad seller a house to this Couple for $500 dollars, you know they still live in that house. It was crazy how people everyone had a garden in the back yard or people would buy everything and someone would work to cann everything out of the garden to put up to have food, My Mother had several houses and one of those house was one of them where you could look through the hedges and watch the foot ball game. I live downtown or if me and my brothers would go home to either my moms or dads it just determined how much trouble we were in. I could get a ride out to commerce road and watch wrestling or top head linners at the J&J center on 441 or the top bands of the local georgia bands at the Nightowl bar and longe, or bulldogs up there behind the athens bakery at the bar where there was no telling who might wakeup from a drunken comma. The first time I ever seen I think it was dwight yokom I don't know how to spell his name. But I remember he was wild as hell and could ring the hell out of his guitar. but he smelled like a rotten dumpter foull of whiskey bottles Oh remember the blue Restaurant the first veg restaurant and right up the street was the first Rcade I seen. And the DairBarn in Comer where I would get a brain freeze right before my straw would get stopped up with a strawberry. I should be ashame, hell I am ashame, I live in the stinking desert of arizona where the place is nothing but evil. I sure do miss my sweet sweet city of Athens, where the democrats would whip your ##@ for doing something and not being sweet and honest and straightup. And my home in Krawfort, Lexington. Man where turn I took to go so wrong? I sure hope to get back home before I die or I'll be lost for ever. Even the criminals had class there, and flowers smelled so good. I hope all the polliticians didn't screw up wonder land.

Saw them 89 they played rock lobtser and love shack twice, what a show

I love you so much George Jones❤

They are A11 blasted n cocaine!

Two kinds of people wear sunglasses inside: blind people and assholes. Larry David. My daughter has autism and wears sunglasses inside. What about you, Fred?

Ricky and Cindy.

How can one not love them?

"Good Stuff" was my favorite!

That quick video in the old television!!....I was there at that show at The Great Southeastern Music Hall...it was about a week or two after the Sex Pistols and it was a Punk Rock Festival....the band had all their art school friends there dancing....probably about 20 to 30 people there tops...I was a Student at GA Tech at the time....they opened with Planet Claire and Fred played a toy piano....I thought they were quirky weird and fun!....totally original with a stripped down sound.

I recall when I first heard Rock Lobster on the radio I was like instantly drawn into the new wave…I’m still surfing along at 67 years old still glad I got to experience all the bands of the 70s and 80s ❤ B52s saved every party I ever had!

I saw them at the Bayou club in D.C. in 1979. We all knew we were listening to the the real deal-so much fun! At the break, Fred came up to me and asked me where I got the bowling shirt I was wearing. I gave them a list of local thrift stores. They invited me and my friends to a round of beers. Thanks again!!

Thier punk years are bat shit insane

if you are the only black or white or whatever in the room....so what

Rock on rock lobster.

One of the greatest bands period of any era or music type!

Love this band. Lyrics to think to, and beats to dance to. So was Ricky the drummer?

Seem like a real nice bunch as well as being the coolest and most exciting band ever.

When will they finally be in the RRHF? It's a travesty that they aren't there.

If you close your eyes and just listen.. Sounds like Simpsons character's...

Recorded the first album with no reverbs or anything? Interesting. I’d say that’s how they got known because their sound didn’t need a lot of work to sound good.

This was great ! Pat is a friend and we’re both from LaGrange, GA.

if you would have told me in 1978 when i first heard them that 46 years later i'd still be listening, i would have said you're crazy. so weird became so fun so fast. decades of joy.

ça représente bcp de travail de garder le sourire. Longue vie au B52'S ma jeunesse en vinyle .

My brothers who are 12 years older than me saw them in Birmingham uk in the early 90s im jealous 😫

Still listening in 2024

Amigos son pocos conocidos muchos

Loved learning more about one of my favorite bands ever!

I found out who my friends were/are first of all 6 years ago, then the rest 3 years ago. Now, I know I have a small circle of people who are true friends.

These two ladies made the beehive hair style a thing!

I remember I called my so friends at 2 something in the morning cause I been drunk and couldn't drive none of them came.. I called some dude I met at work and didn't know him from a can of paint but when I said him and his ol lady showed up quickly from there on out I changed my circle of friends

This Act was brilliantly conceived!

Planet Claire has pink air All the trees are red Nobody ever dies there Nobody has a head

I ADORE GOOD STUFF just here to say that <3 SO MUCH LOVE yes I'm shouting ;-)

Kate you are awesome
