Ah, one of these 'let's antagonise people' thread, they're always fun.

Rolling Stones!
Dinosaur Jr!
The Pixies!
Pavement!

Etc.

I'm seconding Devo. Gash beyond redemption.

At least White Stripes did some Beefheart covers (then again, didn't Black Keys or Black Lips or whatever the fuck do one too?). But other than that, yeah they sucked.

But yeah, Glice, while I do enjoy a few assorted Dinosaur Jr. songs from "Bug" and "Living", I never thought they were that good. Then, they definitely got worse and worse...

Unfortunately, anyone who seriously says "Devo" is silly beyond words. It'd be very difficult for me to actually sit here and name more than 30 bands that wrote songs as good as "buttered Beauties" and "Mongoloid" and "Triumph of the Will"...

What's the Devo album most likely to change my mind? I've been mystified by any appreciation for them for years and years.

Yeah, those songs were so perfect; I love the minimal, clean, somewhat surfy guitars mixed with low-tech and catchy keyboard lines. Mindbogglingly perfect songs on that one.

"Freedom of Choice" is also so good that it's unbelievable.

DEVO is amazing and brilliant. A lot of you are sounding like idiots right now. FREEDOM OF CHOICE, ARE WE NOT MEN, NEW TRADITIONALISTS, etc etc. Insane.

And I'd say the White Stripes' first 2 albums were good, and that WHITE BLOOD CELLS was rather solid. They still knock out a handful of good tunes these days on each record, so I wouldnt catagorize that as awful.

Haha, yeah, I heard it a while back and appreciated it. More bands should do that.

I love Hardcore Devo vol. 1 and vol. 2... some crazy shit on those.
