Here's a track off of 'something for everybody' that's pretty good!

They have grown up, again! Some of their music is spiritual, believe or not!

As a whole package, Devo did it all...music, art, movies, commercials...they were the first and most influential multimedia "thing" of the new computer/electronic age.
 
The idea of De-evolutution....which is what DEVO means,...the idea was hard to grasp at my ripe young age! The idea is still strange to me! De-evolution! As in: we are declining as a society and not evolving! I am reverting into a potato! LOL! As an individual: I seek progress.... as a human: to evolve- I don't care to go backwards

LOL!

I didn't get it back then either. The older I get, the more I can appreciate and understand what they were trying to convey. Every passing day proves what they were saying to a greater extent. LOL!

Edit: I do smoke a lot more weed now though. I'm sure that helps in understanding them more now.bongsmilie
 
DEVO also was a pioneer when it came to putting cover songs on the air - radio and TV. Their break out hit was the rolling stone's: '(i can't get no) Satisfaction'. I remember their yellow suits on saturday night live. That's where I saw them first

Nowadays, cover songs are way more common!

I like the cover of 'working in a coal mine'

I liked the cover of Hendrix's 'Are You Experienced'.
 
My favorite thing about DEVO was their overall weirdness. A kind of comical/shock art. The interviews with Mothersbaugh back then were hilarious.

I liked the music, but that chicks voice was horrible. LOL!
 
D.E.V.O: De-Evolutionized Man !!

I think they were a very innovative band of their time. While being looked up to from scenes ranging from Punk, Industrial, and even Pop, it's clear their influence as a whole has been very wide spread over the past 35 years !

My three favorite DEVO records are Hardcore Vol 1, Hardcore Vol 2, and Q: Are We Not Men ? A: We are DEVO !

I always wished there was a studio version of Booji Boy's Tunnel of Life. But the live version is pretty damn good in it's own respect.
