The B52s: Nude on the Moon - The Anthology

 

Genre: Rock/Dance/Punk

Dates: 1979-1998

The American New Wave dance band—and they weren't from New York or Los Angeles, either. Try Athens, Georgia, later the birthplace of REM (some would say indie rock itself) and home of the Drive-By Truckers. This anthology collects the best of their crazed, hilarious early recordings, as well as the cream of their unlikely rebirth as the pet band of post-Reagan yuppies.
