I love that Devo cover to absolute bits and it's a brilliant song that almost no one can touch, unless its the Rolling Stones playing the original. That **** is just massive and raucous and all the catchy.

As far as their early stuff goes I agree. 50s rock n roll was perfected by those early British R&B bands and the Stones were the height. The Animals and Small Faces made amazing **** that eclipsed Berry, Presley, and Richard, but the Stones absolutely nailed the core of rock n roll to an extent that's been touched by the Sonics and the Stooges but never been potentially bettered without adding extra influences.
