Acclaimed Music Top 25 from 1979 poll

Cosmic Thing is fine (I loved it when I was in jr. high), but I love introducing people who are only really familiar with that later period to the early stuff. I rep hard for the first three albums + Mesopotamia (which is a close second to their debut in my esteem and one of the best EPs ever).

Actually I'm willing to bet Mesopotamia is right up my alley.

Didn't see this until just now. I'd probably have voted for Off the Wall, but The B-52s is a close second.

Love how virtually overnight ILM has come to regard itself as an enclave of massive B-52's worship

i have been a massive enclave of B-52's worship since fall quarter 1980
