The thing is, Cosmic Thing would already have been considered a triumphant return without its commercial success. The big sales were just the icing on the cake. - Stephen Thomas Erlewine/AMG

& 8221;

Cosmic Thing, released in 1989, became the B-52's most successful album and established them as the world's best party band of all time.

Following the tragic loss of guitarist Ricky Wilson in 1985 it was not clear whether the surviving band members would ever perform or record again. Suddenly in 1989, they triumphantly returned with a completely new image, revitalized and benefiting from the Nile Rodgers and Don Was production that hit a neat balance between their earlier extremes and some really solid pop.

For all their fame, their glitchy sound never received much airplay or big sales, but this album gave the group a long-awaited Top Ten hit, "Love Shack," Fred Schneider's ultra-silly, ultra-clever, irresistible dance and pseudo-rap number and another hit, "Roam," a Cindy Wilson showcase with a lovely a cappella choir intro, a driving beat, and infectious handclaps. Cindy and Kate Pierson are featured on the hit slacker anthem "Deadbeat Club"and this was the first album in which Keith Strickland played the guitar.

Cosmic Thing is funky, funny, stylish, and has enough of an edge to make you wanna

"SHAKE YOUR HONEY BUNS!"
