B-52's:

Wild Planet: (1980)

Is there a more fun band than the B-52's? This second album is a classic, full of all the quirk they were known for putting on display. From the opening line by Fred Schneider, "Surprise!" (you just said that in your head in Fred's voice, didn't you.) to the credits acknowledging the hairdresser, this album couldn't pop more. Private Idaho, and Devil In My Car are personal favorites. 

Mesopotamia EP: (1982)

The B-52's produced by David Byrne, what more do you need to know? It spawned some chart success, but I find to be one of the quirkier 52's albums. Perhaps because it's out there, but trying to reach for the middle.
