Musicians

The Resume

    (1972- )
    Formed in Akron, Ohio
    Recorded 'Girl You Want' and 'Whip It'

Why they might be annoying:

    Devo was short for devolution, the opposite of evolution.
    They wore stupid hats!
    They wore even stranger eyegear!
    They recorded a cover of the Rolling Stones' song 'Satisfaction.'

Why they might not be annoying:

    Their video for 'Whip It' ranked on VH1's Top 100 Music Videos of all time.
    Weird Al Yankovic created a humorous parody of the band with 'Dare to Be Stupid.'
    Although they disappeared off the charts by the late 80's, their sound influenced music in the 90's; Nirvana and Soundgarden did cover versions of their songs.
