Man.. from 1978 through 1981 I don't think there's many songs of theirs that I don't like. I like that they had several dimensions to their music: the humour, social awareness, the look of the band, etc. Plus they did some great cover versions (Working In A Coalmine, Satisfaction..)

You triggered my curiosity. Of course I heard of them before, but I never listened to their music. Will check them out once I get home.

Are we not men?

We are DEVO!

I was a big DEVO fan and saw them live in concert twice at Tower Theater in Upper Darby (Philadelphia). Great live band that inspired me to buy a MOOG Source synthesizer. I think they may have be the first band to use one. One thing I remember from the live show was being temporarily blinded when they pointed on of those large spot lights used to detect enemy aircraft out into the audience.
