B-52's - Cosmic Thing (Full Album) [Official Audio]

You're listening to the official audio/podcast for B-52's - 'Cosmic Thing' (1989)
Athens, Georgia's resident musical oddballs The B-52s had earned a strong alternative rock following by serving up cultural kitsch with loving winks, but the loss of founding guitarist Ricky Wilson in 1985 was a serious blow. Yet the group came back swinging; released on this day in 1989, COSMIC THING became their most successful album, soaring into the Billboard Top 10 on its way to quadruple-Platinum sales. Produced by Nile Rodgers and Don Was, the collection includes such standout tracks as “Channel Z,” “Deadbeat Club” and a pair of Top 10 singles: “Roam” and irresistible signature song “Love Shack.” If you don't already have a copy, COSMIC THING is well worth your “jukebox money” - it's a surefire way to get a party into high gear!

Always loved this album. Deadbeat Club is underrated.

[@bryanb4141]

There are no less than 6 songs on the cd that are better than Love Shack!

[@gretchenkiley6615]

Channel Z is underrated too. Great album 🎉

[@oli101010]

This album is my childhood and brings me so much happiness

[@DateMike22]

Love Shack is one of the best songs EVER.

[@musikmirko]

I love The B-52s! I saw them at a concert in Cologne, it was great! And the best part was… I caught a Drumstick from Fred Schneider! 🤩😎👍🏼🎶 Many greetings from Germany 🇩🇪

[@marysullivan6075]

Love the B52"s Saw them here in WNY 1978

[@musikmirko]

@@marysullivan6075 WOW! Then you saw them in their early days, so cool! That must have been a really great experience! Have a great day and best regards! 😎

[@user-kl4bh4lq6r]

Sounds better anything You get these days Album still sounds Fresh Today ❤🎉🥳🥳🤯🕺 Great album 🌄🌠🌌

[@sheilarussell1546]

Always love them Soooooooh original ❤🎉

[@Perma-Tempo]

Bushfire was always the underrated gem for me on this fantastic album. Cindy and Kate hit some sick notes and their harmonies are as good as ever. Love me some B-52s! Ultimate party band. Instant depression-fixer. The more batshit the world gets, the more thankful I can crank this music up. Cheers, Rhino, for the new upload!

[@campbellgrant6945]

Started listening to the B52's when I was 18. Am 53 now and the music doesn't get old

[@walterdariomayr3044]

Las letras y canciones de B-52 tienen buen ritmos!!!✨👏👏👍👍👍😃😃

[@krisirizarry]

Forgot how cool “dry county” is and of course the absolutely majestic “topaz”✨

[@PaulinaAngel]

Topaz is my ultimate favorite B-52’s song, an underrated gem of a song!!

[@bryanb4141]

Great song. Everything after Love Shack are my favorites!

[@lillehammerexperimental]

I listen to Topaz nearly every other day sometimes everyday 😊

[@user-sd9uc7ch9u]

B 52 es sin duda una banda superdivertida no hay cancion mala🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@trashzomb]

Ça fait plaisir de les écouter! Ça réveille! Bonne musique, merci! :)

[@mattschwarz710]

So much lovely memories are connected to this album. Listen to it is like travelling back in time.

[@AlltelJohnny12]

Such a great album. I was about 10 or 11 years old when it came out. My dad would play this tape in the car when I saw him on the weekends. Reminds me of a time that’s now long gone, for better or worse.

[@Lagaloggie]

Still playing this album on my iPhone. Specially love Follow Your Bliss. It's my daily anthem

[@GaianoPorao]

The band's correct name for many years was "The B-52's", but in 2008 they dropped the apostrophe, posted on their website, on the Funplex album cover and single reading "The B-52s"

[@JordanFrancois178]

Beautiful Classic . . Love It......Thank You Bye JeanFrancois

[@thema1998]

Today is not only the *1* year anniversary of when the B-52's' 1989 album "Cosmic Thing" was uploaded but also the *35* year anniversary of when it was originally released! I think that "Cosmic Thing" might be my favorite album of theirs. Either that or their 1979 self-titled debut album. 🤓👍

[@PrimitiveInTheExtreme]

How long has it been since I listened to this album! 🔝🔝🔝🔝

[@guillermoantoniocorreareye3407]

I LOVE VERY MUCH THE BAND

[@Antiorganizer]

Everyone has their preference. Mine is Topaz. Oh yeah!

[@Martha-pn9ww]

Did it girl my first KZbin lol 😊

[@PuNkJuNk63]

When B52 made the 1st albums & Devo,Kraftwerk,the UK New Waves bands, it was still 70s ! Disco & Reggae was the main thing! Even worst Progr. Rock, Heavy metal & super groups with their own jets & limousines! That's why PuNk came out in the scene. Thank gods

[@jasonstatham3703]

[@dougeldredge]

right on ,rhino

[@marcofalzone6469]

Kind of a weak start but increasingly gets better into Classic territory. THAT DOESN'T HAPPEN OFTEN🎵🎶

[@JudgeHill]

Cosmic Thing is weak, I agree: the rest are WONDERFUL

[@marcofalzone6469]

@@JudgeHill it's crazy how they put the questionably weakest tune FIRST😂. I mean, they lose me at "neumatic drill". 🎶🎶 But from Dry County onward it's a Blast upwards.
