I know we're about to wrap these countdowns up, but just wanted to say how glad I am that "Midlife Crisis" won this poll. Listened to it five minutes ago and it still rocks 20 years later.

can I add: the top ten finalists are the most consistently varied and excellent of the decade? I look at the list and go, wow.

Yeah... The Charlatans song is pretty badass too. And that's my favorite Maniacs song.

Man, as much as I loved Drive and Somebody to Shove, I totally wouldve had to vote for "Good Stuff"--I wonder if Spotify has that album

yeah, but title track and "Revolution Earth" are not available :(

good stuff is weirdly one of the very few b52's album they have. even better though they do not have the actual track 'good stuff'.

Good Stuff was one of the first dozen or so CDs i ever bought. i didn't even own another B-52s album for years and years afterwards.

Good Stuff was for years easily found in used cd shops.

I constantly played Cosmic Thing, Good Stuff, and Bouncing off the Satellites p much on constant rotation throughout my junior high years; Bouncing less, because the tape I had of it had weirdly horrific sound quality that made everything sound wobbly

"Ain't It A Shame" is sooo good.

posted solely because I love this pic. Seriously entertaining the idea of signing up to do a B-52's ballot poll
