B-52 `S, is an American group founded in 1976. The band's name comes from the women's nastroszonych hairstyles that were fashionable in the southern United States in the late fifties and early sixties. In the first line-up Cindy Wilson, Kate Pierson, Fred Schneider, Ricky Wilson and Keith Strickland. Today I will present three, in my opinion the best albums the group.
first was released in 1979, B-52 `S. This release starts Planet Claire song, which somehow reminds me of Astronomy Domine by Pink Floyd. Yet the dis-52 Girls, Dance The Mess Around, and Rock Labster. Music contained here is is a mix of music from the fifties with a touch of punk and new wawe moves in a very simple way. The instruments are still in the background for three singers. Two ladies with a very bizarre appearance (hairstyle) and Fred Schneider melorecitation.

second album of 1980 is similar in terms of music to the first, but it is now more thought and richer in sound. There is also a more melodic songs with hit marks. I have a soft spot for these recordings, and record from many lands years at least once a month, but tired in my player. The second piece, entitled Dirty Back Road is amazing and as I begin to listen to him, I can not stop. There is also a song that is called GIVE ME BACK MY MAN. If anyone has heard a recording of the Polish group Gayga I Din is a surprise. Just plagiarism, of course, committed by Gaygę in the song I stand, sit, lie. Wild Planet, because of the question here is among the dozens of my favorite albums of the eighties.

In 1985, guitarist dies Ricki Wilson (Cindy's older brother) and in 1989 the group issued album Cosmic Thing, which turns out to be most commercially successful band. On this album the band completely breaks up with his old sound. There is music that sounds deeply embedded is the glory years of the hippie culture. Love Shack from the album was a huge hit. This is perhaps the most famous song group in addition to the title track from the movie The Flinstones. Now the group returned piece Funplex.
