B-52's
"Love Shack"
Released in 1989
The B-52s are a new wave band from Georgia that started in the 1970s, but many of their biggest hits came out in the 1980s. One of their first hits was a song called "Rock Lobster" and I heard that track every night at the restaurant I worked at as a teenager. The chefs would play it just before the final hour. Years later, the band became an MTV darling and music videos helped them become a huge act.

"Not too bad brother, that's right, we do, "Go Rebel," happily stated Wicked bassist Daniel Martin. "We actually soft released it when we went on tour in the UK and Ireland with Dave Ellefson of Megadeath. We went out with his band, Kings of Thrash and I'll tell you what man, it was received really well. Even though we went out there with these heavy metal bands, everybody was so excited for this upbeat, hard hitting rock that we brought out that we were doing record store signings and people were buying the vinyl in different markets in Europe, England and Japan; it's a really exciting time for us with "Go Rebel."
