Hall of Fame:

"Roam"
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.
