I'm not sure. Is that a band from a parallel dimension or something?

Well, "Love Shack" is hardly the entirety of the B-52s. What about their fantastic first two albums? Or, since you like the Talking Heads, what about their collaboration with David Byrne, Mesopotamia?

I dont know any of the above artist that you hold so "close to your heart" Mister. Tell me about their collaboration, I might give it a listen.

haven't heard enough of the B-52s to form an opinion, really

as for me now:-



the best thing I can say about this is that the versions here are punchier, catchier and more accessible than the studio versions

(and thx, TomClancy11, for turning me on to this)

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.

No worries

The version of Blindness is arguably my favourite Fall song ever, or even just full stop BEST SONG EVER!

I like his solo career better personally, but I agree that its overshadowed by Black Sabbath. They're really two different styles of rock, Ozzy solo and Black Sabbath.

I'm not really a big fan of the pretenders myself (just mentioned them by random for the sake of argument) I've always liked Patti Smite and Scandal. I actually like Patti Smith as well, just playing along for the sake of argument with you Soldier. This place gets boring sometimes, try to add a little entertainment to the subject.

Ah I wondered why you were mentioning Patti Smith in this discussion! You were referring to Patti Smyth of Scandal who is far more comparable, of course I like Scandal and as you know I'm a huge fan of rock from the early 1980s. Talking of female fronted bands of that era, what did you think of the Motels another band I always liked?

Of course I take it seriously, I'm a geek and I take this stuff seriously. Insult one of my bands and you insult me.

A bit of Scandal for you guys, what its lacks in originality, it makes up for in sheer enjoyment factor.

God Forbid, I ever say anything about Cheap Trick! Only The Lonely by the Motels is a personal favorite.
