Devo was such a one of a kind band. Way ahead of their time. There are bands today that don't even come close in terms of originality, and a uniqueness that Devo just had.
I skipped em back then too goofy,I only knew whip it video.Now I've been listening to em on repeat for like a year now..The sound of the eightiesNow I hear thier influence in everything
1st heard of Devo while at a record store in 1980, as i was looking at boring rock a couple of 12 year olds showed me the Devo album and told me Devo was the SH*T,, these youngsters were so correct !
So there’s actually a real thing about this and the names for mental disabilities. Once the words become commonplace in normal conversation they change them because they carry a negative meaning. You can see this most recently with the world “retard” granted occasionally they become in extractible from modern language like words like idiot and spaz
I had a chance to see Devo in 1982. But I was a prog rock snob and I thought that they were a joke band. Man was I an a-hole! Since then I have come to realize how great they were.
Modern media would cancel them immediately had they come out in modern times. Who knows how many great artists we will never see now thanks to the narrow minded media...

Never understand when people say bands were ahead of their time - music has only gotten worse since these days.
@@Jlyon99 can't argue with that actually
Thankfully no other band followed devil's style since they suck so bad! 😂

I never got to see DEVO live I was too busy working in the Coal Mine.
Maybe this song is about u
I see what you did there 😂
When work time is over, there's no time for havin fun
Clearly, you are out of synch.
Toil is Stupid.
I don't care if you don't like the genre, these guys are pure musical genius.
You're definitely misunderstanding, and therefore misusing the word 'genius.'
love these guys. Saw them at Mabuhay gardens 1978. Went backstage. They were super nice and cool. Great memories.
I saw these blokes in the 1980s. They put on a great show!
Still do!
I literally was so ready to give up on music in 1980, then i heard freedom of choice.i instantly became a spud boy from then on
Cool. I just built spud guns
Impossible not to like DEVO !
Thank You Ohio
Ohhhh DEVO is so good🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
despite the now impolitic name, it's still one of the most empowering songs ever as it illustrates an individual who is not defined by his dharma.
Don't talk bollocks.
Devo was and still is punk for the middle-class.

I heard Mongoloid was about social devolution, a future where the Mongoloid doesn't stand out because he's no longer below average intelligence.
@@michaeldoolan7595 Devo is for everyone.
@@michaeldoolan7595Devo is nothing middle class... just class.
