Devo (which others posted about) probably have no idea that they are alot more (and better) than "Whip It". Consider it a little Devo trivia

[Nyogtha]

This is the first Devo song I remember hearing, played on Dr. Demento's weekly radio program (not 80's but more trivia) from long before they made big bucks marketing plastic flower pots as Devo energy domes (genius merchandising). They were way ahead of their time, their name coming from what they saw as the Devolution of mankind, and how many threads do we see here about negativity towards society today vs past days?

If it's only about what's well known, how can you expect to learn or experience anything new to you?

Absolutely Nyogtha!! I post semi to very obscure 80s music. The 80s music scene was WAY much more than Madonna,thank God!!

Hoodoo Gurus - Out That Door

Much of the music I enjoy most by The Cars was made before 1980, but very little attention was paid to their third and perhaps most New Wave and least poppy album. This song is one I liked to mellow out to after a day full of hassles.

This song never got enough air time, it was perfect on late night weekends with friends over, but was the only Billy Thorpe song I cared for. Bought the album anyway, no such thing as mp3 back then, was worth it for this song.

Here's one for Panzerman that got air time on MTV. Note the use of "Achtung baby!" well before its use by U2.
