Good Stuff by The B-52's
Good Stuff is an album by The B-52's, released in 1992. 3 songs from it have charted on rock radio countdowns, with 23 countdown appearances in total. The biggest is “Good Stuff”, on 15 lists with a best position of #32.
Good Stuff, the B-52's' sixth album, came out on Reprise in 1992, hurried into being after their manager pushed for a quick follow-up to the smash Cosmic Thing. It was made without Cindy Wilson, who was taking a break, so Fred Schneider and Kate Pierson carry the vocals between them, Schneider's campy, half-spoken yelps against Pierson's soaring melodies, with Keith Strickland on lead guitar and Don Was producing.
The Athens party band's thrift-shop sound is still in place, all twangy guitar, bubbling keyboards and 1960s kitsch, but it's shinier and more earnest this time, with "Revolution Earth" drifting in a dreamy haze next to the goofball title track. The album reached number 16 on the Billboard 200, the title song climbed to number 28 on the Hot 100, and it earned a Grammy nomination for Best Alternative Music Album.
