As you prefer Ozzy's solo career over that of Black Sabbath!

I would go with the Talking Heads, Sugar On My Tounge over Love Shack, or anything the B-52s ever had Mr. Man.
Patti Smith was one of the most gifted female artists of the 1970s and her music was a world away from the B52s. As for the Pretender, I was never really much of a fan, but sure Chrissie Hynde had a great voice and their debut album was very good.

Every great band has a song or two that really suck and the B52s were no exception to that rule with "Love Shack"

Listen to their first two albums and I think you'll be impressed.
