I also don't necessarily disagree with that (was being broad before), I just don't see it myself. I've tried to get into them a few times to no avail. I can't get past the gimmicks. I will say Gates of Steel is pretty good live.Flex wrote: ↑24 Apr 2020, 12:13pmI think there's a lot more going on with Devo than just a joke band.Kory wrote: ↑24 Apr 2020, 12:12pmI don't disagree.

Re: Final Side 1 Track 3
Devo is absolutely neither a joke or a novelty act in the sense that it’s often used. The joke they’re talking about is a cosmic one.

You are both cloth-eared fools.
There's a tiny, tiny hopeful part of me that says you guys are running a Kaufmanesque long con on the board

I see what you mean to an extent but the groove is just too great, and I have many happy memories of it playing at our local nightclub circa 1985.

Re: Final Side 1 Track 3
Yeah, but it was released in 1980, so it obviously had legs. I was surprised to find it wasn't a major hit in the UK.101Walterton wrote: ↑24 Apr 2020, 7:07pmYou just answered your own question, 1985!!!!!Heston wrote: ↑24 Apr 2020, 7:03pmI know that toy you speak of, it tormented me for years.101Walterton wrote: ↑24 Apr 2020, 6:55pmSounds like a toy my kids had when they were young, twist it, bop it, squeeze it!!

To be honest when I saw it nominated I had to go to YouTube but knew it straight away.
