  I'm going Sunday, largely on the recommendation and excitement of folks here...  I didn't have any Devo albums growing up -- I was just getting in to music around "Whip It" and the like.
 So, if I were to buy one (or two) albums to get ready for this show, what should I get?

Are We Not Men?

You should go there tonight for the KC and The Sunshine Band show.      [/b]

I did some video work on a New Year's Eve show  at Disney in Florida one year with KC and Paul Shaffer........that was the first and last experience up close with those two I will ever need for the rest of my life......  :eek:

 These are their best two albums.  But you won't hear much of this at shows.  Very cutting edge stuff...

It would be wonderful,but I doubt it very much they'll be playing much of either one at all......

KC lives in the Triangle Area in NC. He got his hair cut at the same salon as me. Used to have his limo driver drive him right up to the strip mall where the salon was. The same guy also cut Joan Collins' hair. She would fly him in whenever she needed a touch-up. Now aren't you glad I shared that story?

Everyone should own "Are We Not Men...".  If you only get one, it MUST be this one.

I'll be at the sunday show, hoping they play 'girl u want' and 'turnaround'.

Well, for now I split the difference between popular and early/edgy -- I got Devo's Greatest Hits (I HAD to have "Through Being Cool") and 'Duty Now For The Future.'

can't shell out $55 for this show, but this is one of my favorite all-time new wave tracks ... it feels like the musical equivalent of post-modern theory

I preferred Devo's greatest misses over hits. Misses has tracks like Blockhead,Mongoloid,Swelling itching Brain,Satisfaction,etc. You can't go wrong with any of the 1st 3 studio albums.My personal fave is Duty Now For the Future.

I'm sure if there was a poll on just about any site, the Stones would win handily. Maybe not this one, but most.

i'm sure if there was a poll on "better band" on just about any site, linkin park would get more votes than devo ... who gives a fuck
 
 it's just a fantastic song ... otis did it best and completely re-interpreted the song (like how johnny cash just makes any song he covers his own), the whole sense of adolescent frustration is channeled into the experience of being black in america in the late 60s and it's just infinitely more powerful and meaningful than the stones ... devo's is really cool in it's own way, but it's just not on the same level as the first two versions
