Is it just me that looks at Devo and goes 'WANKERS!'?

MellySingsDoom · 07.16.2008, 11:21 AM

Cantanky - Like your piccy, which for some reason makes me think of this lot:

Punkaspoo - Yes! to Turbonegro - you've got me singing "I Got Erection" now.

^^^Who be they, sarram? I was thinking MEV for a second, but I'm sure that's wrong.

07.16.2008, 11:34 AM

You're right.

MellySingsDoom · 07.16.2008, 11:37 AM

Alright me!

A rather small pic, but here be a 60's pic of AMM during their "The Crypt"-era period:

Talk about nerds....those death metal goons look like off-the-chart wankers.

My comment was that mentioning Polysics without mentioning Devo is a bit culturally myopic, just as is citing Funkadelic without giving props to Sly & The Family Stone.

My answer to the topic question is I.R.S.-era R.E.M. and the aforementioned reason to justify this response is as follows:
With a little help from their artist friends like Jim Herbert and the Reverend Howard Finster, they established their own distinct image. As such, they successfully avoided the preening pitfalls of the MTV eighties hit-making machine.

I feel it is a thoughtful reply that is concise, clear and correct. In other words, it's anathema to most here.

Yep.

Let's all point out together, though, that both Devo and Polysics can fuck off. Yeah?

atari 2600 · 07.16.2008, 01:52 PM

I still enjoy some Devo every now and then...was particularly nuts about them in junior high.

batreleaser · 07.16.2008, 02:54 PM

devo is the best. new wave that actually sounded 'new' and exciting and whacky and different, instead of punk for pussies

I consider DEVO to be punk, not New Wave.

batreleaser · 07.16.2008, 04:44 PM

devo, punk? as varied a genre as punk is, they just dont fit, no fucking way.

uhler · 07.16.2008, 08:58 PM

if devo wasn't funded by a major label and in tv commercials (even if ment as irony) they would be one of the "most punk" bands out there. crass and fugazi still take the cake though.

Cantankerous · 07.16.2008, 09:02 PM

proof that mbv have an excellent look

alan mcgee called them a wimpy anorak band

anoraks (snorkel parkas) rule
