I've listened to Q and A and loved it, just not anything else bar the singles from Freedom of Choice.

I'll check that dictionary, but in the meantime I'm impressed - as is everyone else in the world - by your eloquence, obvious accomplishments and success, and the evidence of your blazingly high intelligence.

One of my favorite albums from the late 70's/early 80's.

It's pretty hilarious - and appropriate - how this thread has been warped into the exact opposite of what the OP intended, and has now become basically a Devo appreciation thread!

I got that Devo is mainly beloved by hipsters.
For example Devo debut is rated pretty good on a hipster-type site RYM:

Does anyone else think RYM is hipster? I always felt like it's more of a music nerd site. I'd say MB is hipster.

Music nerd becomes synonymous hipster the second you disagree with one.

Whether hipsters love or hate Devo has zero impact on my appreciation of them.
