Devo are f*****g awesome. You have all probably heard "Whip It" which is their best known song and probably picture them with their red flowpot energy domes, but they are more than that.

Some of their best songs:
Mechanical Man
Jocko Homo (Demo Version of Booji-Boy Version, the Album version isn't as good)
Secret Agent Man (The original "Truth about De-Evolution Version")
Mongoloid
(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction (better than the Rolling Stones version IMO)
Girl U Want
Freedom of Choice
Love Without Anger
Beautiful World
Peek-A-Boo
That's Good

Here's some pictures of their various stages:

I always liked the song Turnaround.

Nirvana did a cover of it, the original Devo version is much better in my opinion. True, proper Devo.

Devo is great! Whip It was a big hit back when I was in high school.
Even though Devo never really went away, I love the fact that they've made a big resurgence a couple years ago. My seven year old daughter is already a Devo fan, and she especially likes Mongoloid - that song gets her flapping and laughing hysterically.
Believe it or not, I actually like their look today the best - a bunch of tubby grandpas. :lol:
