I'd just finished reading the Invisibles, then i went out put on a random playlist on my I-pod and it came up with "Song for a Future Generation" by the B52's and fuck it seemed to just explain everything the invisibles was talking about.

Anyway does everyone else think the B52's are underappreciated fuggin geniuses .

The B52s are amazing. Still worth seeing if they happen to tour again. I saw them with the Go-Gos and the Psychadelic Furs, and of the bunch, the B52s were the only ones who really had any life to them. Fred Schnieder is one of the most underrated frontmen in rock. Somehow he can transmute "nelly as hell" into "genius rock-monster" without any problems.

Ah, the BC-52s! The premiere Rock 'n' Rock band of prehistory!

Yes. They rock.

For fear of adding to this thread's heterogeneity, the B52s are fucking ace. I would love to go and see them live, if anyone hears about them playing London at some point could you PM me? Thank you!
