The B-52's quirky art-funk never fails to get me grooving. The Athens band's revivals of old 50's dance crazes merged with the art-punk of bands like Talking Heads helped create the New Wave era of the late 70s and early 80s. Bright colors, nonsensical lyrics, and bouncy bass lines defined the band, even before their "Love Shack" pop heydey.
