"Rock Lobster" quickly became a song that filled dancefloors in the late 1970s and, though it only sold moderately well at the time, The B-52's has become one of the top new wave albums in everyone's collection.  Pressured to get something out fast, the Athens, Georgia band quickly recorded Wild Planet and released it in 1980.  Similar in sound to the first, it outsold the debut.  Unfortunately, it was more of the same, with a lot of great songs but with many of the album tracks lacking.
