Ah right, a greatest hits collection. That's cool, but I was sort of aiming for a non-greatest hits list. Thank you though hun. That was a wonderful choice, and if you would like to review the albums which they come from. I'd love to put them up(I believe we got Darkside Of The Moon and The Wall already. prehaps you can review "Wish You Were Here" if you know it?) :) If greatest hits are added to the list, I'll be sure to add this!

LZ I and II were blueprints for rock music in the 70s. Although I personally prefer Physical Graffiti (and prefer to hear live versions of the I and II material), those first two albums are the enduring classics that influenced so, so many.

Consider them added! :D. Thanks for the insight mate.

@PaulJr. Great choice! Can you please write up a little explanation why though?

Devo were pioneers in the visual arts, they started wearing radiation suits during their first album Q: Are We Not Men A: We Are Devo! ; Going along with the concept of a factory/workplace, they wanted to wear business suits but couldnt afford them so wore white button up shirts instead and ended up making an unintentional statement.

Every track on Duty Now has a new meaning (ignoring the instrumentals Devo Corporate Anthem and Timing X)

You start with Clockout, hitting off the workplace setting

Then moving into Wiggly World, featuring the famous line-

'They say the strongest shall survive
Yet the unfit may live
Let em wear gaudy colors or avoid display
Hey it dont matter, its the same anyway'

Next comes Blockhead which is their sequel to Mongoloid, where a worker with a cube head doesnt view as his condition as a disability, just sees the world differently and always stares straight ahead. They were known to move like robots during live renditions.

Swelling Itching Brain came next, about one man's pains from working too hard, also has an unforgetable bassline

Then, moving into The Day My Baby Gave Me A Surprise, describing a man's excitement of his wife returning from the hospital

Duty Now also features a cover of Secret Agent Man, where Mothersbaugh took his own lease on the song and made a hit out of it

Smart Patrol/Mr DNA is 2 songs mixed and provided the Spud/Vegetable theme later shown in Oh No! Its Devo! as well as Smooth Noodle Mips among others

Every Devo album is guaranteed to give you an experience that is fun, entertaining and very, very devo.

Awesome write up! just awesome. Thank you for the knowledge..cheers! :D

Just wanted to bring this back up. Contribute folks :D, it would be nice to get a few more before I update the list

All Things Must Pass.

A great album. Full of great songs and which George had been holding backing the mid 60's. Inspiring instrumentation and heart felt lyrics (at least two songs written by Bobby Dylan) make this album an extrodinarily great Beatle solo effort.

Surfing with the Alien - The father of instrumental rock

Rising Force - the father of neo-classical rock

The Sex Pistols were crap.

The band made it's mark not because of the music, but because they created controversy and that put them on the media spotlight.

I would tend to agree with Mr. Jingles. I think The Police brought more to punk music than Sex Pistols.
