Bye, Bye B52s

With their wild wigs, wicked wig-outs and smarter than they seemed lyrics, the Athens, Georgia legends The B52s are doing their farewell tour (at least, for now). Rock lobsters are (possibly not) provided.

But before we say “Ciao”, here are a few examples of what made them so great: those killer harmonies, sci-fi sirens, surf guitars and propulsive rhythms. Remember: the bigger the hair, the closer to god…And no ‘Love Shack’. (I think it’s ghastly).
