Devo Explosions & That's Good & Patterns & Big Mess

[bugradio]

Thanks for posting these songs as a group. They go better together!

[CHROMEOfaction]

I'm starting to like "Explosions".

[YoYoBIOS]

These 4 AMAZING songs make for one brilliant video!

[RushNLV]

DEVO RULES!!!!! Seen them with the Ramones and Rancid 16 years ago.. Still remember it like yesterday there were 3 pits and shit was on fire and being thrown across the crowd totally rad!

[JoeTheMeatbag]

9:25 for Big Mess.

[lighttree2012]

DEVO!!! 2012

[montelis81]

Oh, YES! it's D E V O

[TheBadAssNcrRanger]

nevermind!

[TheBadAssNcrRanger]

im sorry but what are you guys talking about when you say Yes?

[TheBadAssNcrRanger]

@TheBadAssNcrRanger oh wait nevermind sorry!

[sponsler]

It is so cool. "Yes" is so far out there, that they can't be reached by many. On the other hand, Devo is just the opposite, so down to earth in primal truth that it is hilarious!! Combined, take the song Patterns and Chaos (Big Mess). The perfect chaos is actually perfect UNiversal ORDER..which is what YES is about..such as their song, "The Order of the Universe"

[sponsler]

@sponsler That's Good, is what Yes sings about from a spiritual perspective.

[sponsler]

Awesome combination! Thanks for creating. There is no other Devo...just as there is no other "Yes".

[shockedkats]

3 awesome tracks in a row

[sponsler]

@shockedkats WOW..someone is actually listening to this about the same time I am on the day before Christmas, 2011?..how old is this stuff? There is Hope after all!..LOL

[juliano66]

whoever thinks Devo ripped off other artists, well, if true (and that's doubtful) so what?-- in music it's whats left at the scene of the crime that matters. Devo blew em ALL out of the water!!!

[juliano66]

loved this album when it came out...clean, smart and weird

[mngraphics]

the podium:

1) D E V O

2) D E V O

3) D E V O

[TheBadAssNcrRanger]

6:27 for patterns

[ElCameronDormido]

Devo was a great band for sure

[Ade6464]

I believe Devo to be infinitely superior to Human League and I lived in Sheffield and have a Sheffield wife (Human League's hometown in case someone doesn't understand the relevance)

I think that whilst they can both be categorised in an "electronic" genre, the similarities end there. The Human League were "arty" and soft but hey! Who am I to criticise? I'm just a middle-aged Anglo-West Indian with mild mental problems.

[operationflux]

T_T I used to go to sleep with these songs when I was 4 years old...

I miss the 80s.

[shedendboy1]

Human League were very mainstream, How dare you put them in the same sentence as Devo.

[ohare100]

no way

[NoelArtMedia]

..and yes, I listened to one of the songs twice. ;-)

[NoelArtMedia]

you post 4 songs and it sounds better than others who post just 1.

Sounds great. "patterns" especially. (-:

[PatchesRips]

@NoelArtMedia Yeah, Patterns is a great song... I like it more and more all the time. Certainly rings increasingly true as I get older.

[ohare100]

THIS IS DEVO AT THER BEST,,NO DOWT

[jwillienamath]

My Rutgers roommate was pissed his speakers became crackly & fuzzy...

[JohnnyLovely2]

WE LIKE EXPLOSIONS, THAT LEAVE YOU FEELING GOOD, WE LIKE IDEAS, THAT CHANGE THE WORLD FOR GOOD! o m g don't you just LOVE "Oh, No! It's DEVO"?! This is yet another brilliant album from the spud boys. They were 100% original geniuses, why would anyone say they were trying to sound like anyone? They were just themselves; this is the type of music they made naturally.THATS GOOD JUST STARTED! I luv this song but i think i may seem rtrded cause i always hit my chest like mark LOL i copy his moves

[bobo007xx]

@JohnnyLovely2 i was alone in 1977 when i took my stand for devo.EVERYBODY was croporate rock.forget the deadheads who smoke pot waaay out in the school fields,they didnt give a fuck about devo.everybody was zepplin ,foriengher kansas,and fucking pop.

gods bless punk and new wave.

[PatchesRips]

@bobo007xx Johnny, you still coulda smoked pot with those guys and still been a spudboy at heart. :D

[INVADERxDIB]

devo= devolution which is good because music today is (insert deity) awful.

[mistafinnas]

Devo = Awesomeness

[MAIDENBOISE]

devo (de.vO)

definition

best band of the 80,s:exilerating:awesome.

[rsalas2006]

Temazoooo, me encanta ¡¡¡¡

[TheCorezero00]

".......It's a monumental good thing........KBPI ROCKS THE ROCKIES".......THE BEST TV ADVERT FOR A RADIO STATION I'VE EVER SEEN!!!

[Rockorollo]

still the most origonal sound out there!!!!! no one has copyed them! love them sence my child hood in the 90s and still love them today ! THANK THE GODDESS FOR HIPPY PARENTS! 

[theoriginal72]

@Rockorollo

Praise "Bob"!

[LiteracyLabyrinth]

Brilliant Devo! I had this on cassette and never heard it like this! Great quality and always loved Explosions and Thats Good - Patterns has a really nice melody, Big Mess is a throwaway but still has some moments - Best album along with Freedom... and this latest album Something for Everybody! These three albums are essential DEVO!

[GlorifiedTruth]

Can you imagine if you went to some street fair with a bunch of burnout blues rock bands playing and then a band came on the stage and played a perfect rendition of "Big Mess"? Even today it would blow my mind. I might even stop drinking for a day or two!

[keetey1]

GO DEVO !!!!!

[cmonty72]

enjoy it while it up. Thanks  :)

[FlyingDoctor1988]

@MrSKINFLICK agreed :)

[verapamil07]

@MrSKINFLICK Kraftwerk are ridiculed by ridiculous Germans. They are masters and inventors of techno and electro and synth pop and the most influential group of XX century.

[MrSKINFLICK]

@verapamil07:

i´m not interested in your opinion,your channel has very bad taste partly+i am not addicted to opinions of people like you.

I partly like some of Kraftwerk´s stuff, but they are not gods+other artists have used the synthesizer +computer tech much smarter than them over the last 3 decades.

Image-wise Kraftwerk are piss-takers,i don´t like their"robot"image,they are fallible human beings+i can´t stand their gimmick circus.

FUCK YOU + BLOCKED, i dont need your babble.

[verapamil07]

@MrSKINFLICK Haha, low self esteem!!! :))))) hahaha

[verapamil07]

@MrSKINFLICK Your comment "FUCK YOU - i don´t read ur silly comments anymore + u were even already blocked before."

It shows how mature and polite person you are .Also work on your self-image not to attack other people when they have different opinion. :)

[TheShoeOfMattie]

@MrSKINFLICK

Your stupidity pretty much voids any opinion you might have.

[MrSKINFLICK]

@TheShoeOfMattie:

Go to bed, asshole ! You were never a real DEVO fan.

YOU ARE DEVO in its worst sense ! 

[TheShoeOfMattie]

@MrSKINFLICK

I'm just saying, if you're trying to promote your opinion, the last thing you should do is act like an angry 7-year-old about it.

[marc08110]

@MrSKINFLICK: KRAFTWERK WERE IN INVENTORS OF THE ELECTRONIC SOUND....YELLOW MAGIC ORCHESTRA CAME SHORTLY AFTER & THEN DEVO......AS I RECALL MUSIC GAVE BIRTH TO THEM ALL AROUND THE SAME TIME

[MrSKINFLICK]

@marc08110:Again wrong. Devo were already around 1972-1974 -a period when Kraftwerk were relatively inactive till they had their smash success in 1974 with Autobahn. Kraftwerk even "experimented" with metal sound in 1971 after having no success with their first LP. There are certainly Kraftwerk tracks i like -also tracks by Karl Bartos- but i can´t stand them as persons -they´re incredible babbitts+very stiff+formal persons+their stage presence is simply boring to me.They look even worse today.

[MrSKINFLICK]

@marc08110:

Famous German electronic band Tangerine Dream were also having an LP before Kraftwerk. You´re a very silly greenhorn and don´t know a lot about music history. No one can really assume to be inventors of electronic music that´s rubbish. Electronic music started with Stockhausen in the 50s and at that time it was serious modern music and had nothing to do with pop.

[FlyingDoctor1988]

@MrSKINFLICK your 100% right!!!

[bobo007xx]

@MrSKINFLICK john barry was one of the first to use electronica in OHMSS.

[bobo007xx]

@marc08110 kraftwerk built or designed the equipment for many of the sounds of today.their klingkang studio was top secret(i heard)

[1devo6587]

@marc08110 your kinda right, delila derbyshire was the 1st techno artest in the early 60s, look her up, your mind will be blown

[marc08110]

@MrSKINFLICK..... DICKHEAD,,,,,,THE SPUD NEVER TRIED TO BE or SOUND LIKE ANYBODY or ANYTHING BUT THEMSELVES.....

[MrSKINFLICK]

@marc08110: Get calm, i only meant the first track here, but it´s fuckin indifferent. If you´re allegedly such a DEVO fan, why don´t have any of their stuff in your favorites, ha ?

Instead of that: 80s women´s bodybuilding videos (?) and one video with the classicly unbearable Dennis Leary - welcome to self-punishment.

[MrSKINFLICK]

@marc08110: Where did i write here that DEVO tried to be or sound like anybody ? I was arguing against silly ideological Kraftwerk "fans" who "see" Kraftwerk as the centre of (their) electronic universe. THESE Kraftwerk fans also try to degrade the status of DEVO. I was writing about that, mind you - I highly respect DEVO.

[FaxanaduJohn]

@MrSKINFLICK Completely disagree. this is radical.

[WoodRatGirl]

Listening to this album always cheers me up. Yay for Devo!

[MisterEvasion]

At the time, we thought this album was where DEVO jumped the shark. Nowadays, I find it much more fun to listen to.

[jwillienamath]

@MisterEvasion Agreed! Every song has a lighter,moveable,less (in your face) message.

[KreygD]

I miss music like this.
