Cindy and Kate’s voices go together so perfectly, and the sound is so unique. You could just hear them sing one note in harmony and know it’s them instantly. Best female pop voice duo ever.

@Mike___Honcho 6 ай бұрын

i love their singing, too, but your claim that they are the best pop voice duo ever might get some blowback from fans of abba, with anni frid and agnetha.

@antonyjerome7478 5 ай бұрын

I agree - can't think of a female pop duo better than these two. Subjective of course - but that's unavoidable. Best male duo - personally I'd go for Simon and Garfunkel (more folk than pop though...).

I spent the 1980s on submarines. There was nothing better than coming home from patrol and hearing the latest 52's song. I'd crank the radio up and roll down the windows. My favorites were Roam & Love Shack

It wasn't until R.E.M. released Out of Time and the Shiny Happy People video was shown, that I looked for the female vocalist. That led me to The B52's of course and then I was introduced to Rock Lobster, Private Idaho, Love Shack and one of the greatest pop songs to come out of the 80's, Roam. What a brilliant, feel good track and Kate Pierson is looking resplendant in this ToTP showing. A mix of Belinda Carlisle and Peggy Bundy. Good times, great music.

@@inigomontoya6806 Ty for this! I had no idea that the original guitar player was a different person to their current one, Keith Strickland. Kudos to BOTH players, BOTH amazing in their own right. Ricky Wilson was the seed and originator of their sound, well-deserved credit given. I love the first record. Apparently Strickland was their drummer then moved over to guitar - post Wilson. Evident in that you can hear the reverence and influence for Wilson in Strickland's playing on the later records up through the 90's up until current day.
