Inspired by the Oingo Boingo poll.  :D

I Can't Get No Satisfaction has a fond place in my heart.

got to be whip it!  whip it good!

'Working in A Coalmine' is my favourite which gave them a 2nd Top 40 hit here in Canada

I never really liked 'Whip It' all that much

I like "Whip It" and "Freedom Of Choice" the best.

Was that a cover of Lee Dorsey's big hit from the 60's?

I was just thinking about this today!

"Gates of Steel," "Too Much Paranoias," "Gut Feeling," and... man, there are too many.

OH! And "Plain Truth." That song's pretty. "37" is funny, too, but the CD for it is out of print. >:-{

And... and... "Pink Pussycat!"

It was yes.  And Devo's version of it also served as the theme song to the short-lived 90s sitcom 'Working' which starred Fred Savage

It was in the soundtrack for Heavy Metal, originally.

Working in a coal mine? Good song meat.
My favorite is whip it.

Only know of Whip It.

Whip It

and I'm amazed K.M. Richards , that your karma is almost as high as your post count  :o

"I Can't Get No Satisfaction" and "Freedom of Choice".

"That's Good" and "Girl U Want" for me.

"Girl U Want"
"Sastifaction"

No offense but do you have a thing with Canada? all your posts seem to mention Canada, maybe it's just me. :D

Whistledog is Canadian, 'A'!

The B side to Whip It was called Turn Around and I just looved that as a kid.

What, no love for Big Mess?

As for more recent Devo, their cover of NIN's Head Like a Hole blew me away - simultaneously faithful to the original, and yet so Devo that you'd swear it was from 1981.

I know what you mean. Their cover is better than the NIN version!

Big Mess is a great song, didn't I mention it? Dunno.

Dr. Detroit!

Dr. Detroit!


Oh yeah, that's got a great keyboard solo.

So does "Snowball."

"Big Mess" was OK.

"Dr. Detroit" & "Snowball" were good, also.

How about "Soft Things"?

Uncontrollable Urge is good. They have so many songs, it's hard to think of one on the spot. I wish there were a poll with a bunch listed.

Social Fools
Jocko Homo
Girl U Want

I love their early stuff, and then I also love the "Freedom of Choice" album all the way through.  I call Freedom of Choice "Bill Gates Rock"!

I don't like Soft Things much!

Shout and New Traditionalists are not very great to me, give or take a few songs.

I do like Total DEVO and SmoothNoodleMaps, though!

C'mon, "Jimmy's in a Wheelchair and I Don't Care," that's Dead Milkmen level!

:P The lyrics may be weak, but it's so damn catchy!

Honestly, lyrics don't mean a whole lot to me. I mean, if there's a song I like that has good lyrics, it makes me like it a little more... and sometimes I'll like a song if it has VERY good lyrics, but what matters to me in the long run is the music.

And if it's got a good melody or whatever, I can deal with terrible lyrics.

Remember this album?

That one's probably my favorite, beside the debut.
