Nude On The Moon The Anthology

Reader Reviews
Nude On The Moon-The B-52's Anthology is the most definitive B-52's collection released to date. The two disc set was released by Rhino in 2002. The set includes 35 songs recorded between the late 70's and mid 90's. The B-52's experienced their most commercial success with their 1989 album Cosmic Thing. A lot of fans discovered this group from Athens, Georgia at that time. The B-52's had been bubbling under mainstream success for some time and the group had a large cult fan following thanks to catchy songs like "Rock Lobster," "Private Idaho" and "Give Me Back My Man." The group created the greatest happy pop music of the early 80's. Their album Whammy included the hits "Legal Tender," "Queen of Las Vegas," and "Song For A Future Generation. Those songs are included in the set as well as the song "Trism." The set is broken into two sections "Phase 1," and "Phase 2." Phase 2 opens with several songs from the groups album Bouncing Off The Satellites. This album was really awesome but failed to really break the group into that top 40 success. The songs from that album included on Nude On The Moon are "Summer of Love" (which was a moderate radio hit and later featured in the movie "Earth Girls are Easy," "Theme For a Nude Beach" (which is a really awesome song,) "Ain't It A Shame," "Wig," "She Brakes For Rainbows," and "Girl From Ipanema Goes to Greenland." There was a video released for "Girl From Ipanema Goest To Greenland," not sure of which other songs from Satellites were released as videos. Next up are the songs from the popular Cosmic Thing album. Nude on the Moon includes 7 singles from Cosmic Thing, pretty much the entire album with the exception of "Bushfire," "Dry County," and "Topaz." The big hits like "Love Shack" and "Roam" are all here. It's a really great CD if you enjoy the B-52's. The color booklet is really awesome and I learned so much about the group from reading the booklet. There are just so many great songs on this CD you will really be pleased with this purchase.
