Well, I've long debated on whether or not to start a B-52's collection...so when this greatest hits collection came out, I jumped at the chance.

"Time Capsule: Songs for a Future Generation"

1. "Planet Claire" (4:36)
2. "52 Girls" (3:35)
3. "Rock Lobster" (4:54)
4. "Party Out of Bounds" (3:21)
5. "Strobelight" (4:00)
6. "Private Idaho" (3:34)
7. "Quiche Lorraine" (3:57)
8. "Mesopotamia" (3:50)
9. "Song for a Future Generation" (3:59)
10. "Summer of Love"--original unreleased mix (4:34)
11. "Channel Z" (4:50)
12. "Deadbeat Club" (4:54)
13. "Love Shack" (5:22)
14. "Roam" (4:52)
15. "Good Stuff" (5:55)
16. "Is That You Mo-Dean?" (5:07)
17. "Debbie" (3:34)
18. "Hallucinating Pluto" (4:19)

Tracks 1-8 are definitely the best stuff here...it really would be worthwhile to collect the early B-52s albums, you know. But it's cool to also get "Song for a Future Generation" from their more obscure middle years, and also, I guess, that shamelessly pop yet still likeable "Love Shack".
