The Athens, Georgia quartet upped the Talking Heads odd-pop ante in the 1980s with smash hits “Rock Lobster,” “Private Idaho,” and “Love Shack.” Despite meeting the requirements for induction into the Rock Hall of Fame, critics feel their disco-bent tunes and campy lyrics have prevented their inclusion. Screw the Hall, we say the 52s are an eight-legged party beast. They join the Fixx and the English Beat for a new-wave flashback Sunday at the Embarcadero.
