Any B-52's fans here?

Funplex - what a bloody brilliant record!

Even if you've only heard a few of their tracks before and liked them a little bit, get this one and you won't be disappointed.

Brilliant

I fully concur with this view. How long did they take to make it, though - something like 16 years?!

You were there! Excellent

(and I did my bit and took along two friends who admitted they were very pleasantly surprised how good it was)

And the Evening Standard gave them 4 stars.

A good night...

I am.

I'm a bit old school. Kind of detest 'Love Shack', but just love 6060842 and the like.
Memories of watching them do Planet Claire..... aaah, I'm so old.

always loved "roam" - and some of their albums are surprisingly good. Good quirky pop

Rock Lobster, My Own Private Idaho and Planet Claire - perfect beach BBQ/party tracks.

I have always felt that the B52's were like a more 'U' rated version of the Cramps!

Track down that clip of The Cramps playing in a mental institution....

I'll confess that whenever Love Shack comes on the car radio, I'm guilty of turning it up ridiculously high and moving in a way that could vaugely be construed as dancing
