MyLeakyBucket Posted February 25, 2003 Share Posted February 25, 2003 I only discovered these guys a few years ago but have since become a rather huge fan of their silliness, funny clothyes and cool as f**k music. Probably most known for Whip it (used in Casino) and Beautiful World (cover of it to be found on Rage Against the Machine covers album), these guys covered every area of science and society from Darwin to repression. I love 'em and I hope you do too. Q: Are we not men? A: We are DEVO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reverend Jax Posted February 26, 2003 Share Posted February 26, 2003 I remember when I first started posting here I made a Devo crack and it pissed you off. Sinc ethen I've listened to them and take back anything I've said about them. More bands like Devo an the music industry wouldn't be such a barren creative wasteland. More bands like them, They Might Be Giants, Primus adn Ween. I like Jocko Homo and Speed Racer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MyLeakyBucket Posted February 27, 2003 Author Share Posted February 27, 2003 Hehe I remember that. They might be Giants and Ween are pretty cool, but don't know much Primus. Any recommended tracks I should look out for? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reverend Jax Posted February 27, 2003 Share Posted February 27, 2003 Everyone knows Primus because they did the Theme to South Park. That gives you a little idea of where they're coming from, but some track to check out are Jerry Was A Race Car Driver, Wynona's Big Brown Beaver, and Tommy The Cat. But back to Devo, you heard Jocko Homo and Speed Racer? What other tracks would you recommend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The NZA Posted February 27, 2003 Share Posted February 27, 2003 I liked their video of the cover of the Charlie Daniel's Band "Devil went down to Georgia", that was a trip. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MyLeakyBucket Posted February 27, 2003 Author Share Posted February 27, 2003 Umm Devo tracks? Try 'Mongoloid', their cover of Rolling Stones' 'Satisfaction', 'Smart Patrol/Mr DNA' (one track) and 'Jerkin' Back and Forth' for starters. You told me people like to suffer You told me thats the way it is You said that things were getting better You said I should accept all this...... - Jerkin' Back and Forth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
