I got diagnosed with aspergers after I wore a Devo shirt to an appointment with a therapist and they called Devo a one hit wonder and I spoke uninterrupted and aggressively for 40 minutes about how it’s not right to call Devo a one hit wonder.
Oh absolutely. Yes your average person would only know Devo for “Whip It”, their “only hit” that charted at number 14, but if you asked them but I’m willing to bet a lot more would quickly recognize “Uncontrollable Urge” as soon as they heard it due to its many appearances in film, television, video games, sporting events, etc. This is to say nothing of the many songs of theirs that got MTV airplay in the 80s but were not technically “hits” because of how Billboard organizes their charts. But if you do want to go by billboard charts what do you have say about “Working In The Coal Mine” which hit number 43? No it’s not a massive hit but consider how something like Modern English’s “I Melt With You” is considered one of the quintessential one hit wonders of the 80s but it only charted at number 78. So why would that be considered a hit and “Working In The Coal Mine” isn’t? Also Devo’s influence is too vast to be considered a one hit wonder. On paper Jimi Hendrix and The Grateful Dead are one hit wonders because they technically only had one hit on the charts but no one treats them as such. Other than Kraftwerk, Devo is arguably the most important band when it comes to influencing the sound of 80s synth pop. Would the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame have thrice nominated Devo is their influence was minimal? No. Also Devo still draws crowds. They play big theaters. When they do festivals they’re one of the top billed acts. Not many acts, much less one hit wonders, have that longevity. They still kick ass live, see them before they die. I will also defer to Weird Al Yankovic who for a half century has been the arbiter of what music is “relevant” in the mainstream. In 1985 he released “Dare To Be Stupid” a style parody of Devo’s music and music videos. “Whip It” was 5 years old at this point. Why would Weird Al release that as a single unless Devo was still relevant? They’re not a one hit wonder.
I find Chumbawamba’s days as an anarchist punk collective affiliated with Crass very interesting. And while I do like Tubthumping, I know many people hate it but frick them, I think I like They Might Be Giants version a little more and I’m not even really a TMBG fan. The gang vocals on the chorus do wonders for the song.

You guys are both my friends whether you like it or not.
>It was just taboo to actually like them.
Me and the boys listening to Devo in secret because it’s still illegal in 37 states and the Supreme Court won’t come through for us
I know but it’s not all bad. I could probably get neetbucks if I want, I don’t need them though. Makes me wonder how many people got diagnosed with aspergers just because a medical professional was mistaken about something and called out on it.
Based. I'd lock myself to a radio station if you were the DJ
Thanks.
I would unironically hang out with you and listen to devo records while getting druk
Buddy I’m listening to black midi right now but I’ll switch to Devo, Duty Now For The Future, and we can listen together. Anyone else interested can join in too.

by every metric she should be la creatura but GOD DAMN look at those breasts
i wonder if she realizes she's lucky she didn't get any of her mom's side of the family's facial or body shape genetics otherwise this b***h would've been lookin like a talkin fridge with SPAM sandwiches falling out of her mouth
sheeeesh. i want to get my tiny widdle white wienerlet lost in those bazongas. i want to thrust weakly a few times before busting a tiny little baby load from my tiny white pecker and her not even noticing my poor whiteoid existence due to her cavernous melons
I'd one hit that wonderful piece of cooch if you catch my meaning
Premature ejeculation is a b***h

Chumbawamba is another one of those bands:

Based. I'd lock myself to a radio station if you were the DJ
Crack that whip!
Yes but please explore their other music
what do you think of Beautiful World?
One of the best songs on New Traditionalists. I have an original pressing that I got for 10 bucks a few years ago.

DEVO had a number of hits though. It was just taboo to actually like them.

You are not wrong though. They are a very established art-group.
