short bio from BBC Radio 2's website

B-52's were rocking when you were still a gleam in you daddie's eye

They were also fantastic live.

44. OOOOO, the Beeb is wrong for once!
Fred Schenider's solo album (I forget what it was called... "Shake" something, or something "Shake") was actually recorded in the early 80s, after Wild Planet. It didn't do very well (despite the underground semi-hit "Monster"), and was deleted from WEA's catalogue. It was re-released as a "new solo album" after the success of Cosmic Thing.

33. Family Guy is stupid...
Superficial... Esoteric... Arcane.

B52s are original.

Not everybody likes the B52s, but they dare to be individuals. Especially as they, for a "new wave" band, sure as heck don't sound new wave. :D

Family Guy preys on everything else to be funny. That's not original.

50. Sometimes people just being inviduals means people just sucking.
Family Guy isn't what it used to be, and I'm okay with that, but Family Guy is irrelevant to how much the B52s suck.

16. Anything by Britney Spears, Jessica Simpson, or Beyonce Knowles
Trashy, lame examples for the young girls they target. Before anyone's panties start to bunch, I don't mean that they should be censored. Just ridiculed for their lazy, gold-digging, moron songs and attitudes.


Can you pay my bills? Can you pay my telephone bills?
Can you pay my automo-bills? If you can, maybe we can chill.
I don't think you could,
So you and me are through.

22. Almost all 1990's "pop" music
Jewel, Alanis Morrissette, Hootie and the Blowfish, Goo Goo Dolls, Backstreet Boys, N'Sync, and all those one hit wonders too crappy to mention. Terrible, terrible decade for pop music.

Edited on Sun Apr-02-06 05:33 PM by Lydia Leftcoast
"I Need a Hero"
"Havin' My Baby"
Anything by Tommy James and the Shondells ("Anything" isn't the name of a song. I truly mean anything.)
Anything by Bread
"One Two Three Red Light"
"Seasons in the Sun"
"Lay Down Lay Down"--This song, along with its accomplices "Lay Lady Lady," "Lay Down Sally" and "Won't You Lay with Me in a Field of Stone" completely destroyed the ability of the average American to distinguish "lie" and "lay" in the early 1970s.
"Billy You're My Friend"

bland, boring wanky "beat group" in desperate need off a butt-kicking. Too bad Macca is making a fortune slowly fucking the dead Beatles corpse these days, because nobody in their right mind would pay good money for a Wings tribute.

59. Here's a few
Who Let the Dogs Out- I felt the song was totally stupid.

Fire on the Mountain- While I was in the Navy, my ship had a band that primarily played country music. Unfortunately, they'd play the same songs over and over. The above mentioned was one of them. Every time the radio would play that song, I'd turn off the radio.
