"... [I'm fond of] the pop junk they recycle—with love and panache ... [I am] more delighted with their rhythms, which show off their Georgia roots by adapting the innovations of early funk (a decade late, just like the Stones and Chicago blues) to an endlessly danceable forcebeat format."
- Robert Christgau (Village Voice - 1979)
The B-52's is the debut album by the Athens, Georgia-based new wave band the B-52's. The kitschy lyrics and mood, and the hook-laden harmonies helped establish a fanbase for the band, who went on to release several chart-topping singles. Shortly before his death, John Lennon said he enjoyed the album.
