Devo was one of the first synth alternative bands that I remember listening to. They were way ahead of their time and honestly don't get the recognition they deserve. I think mass populous dismiss them due to their costumes and crazy hats but they had some great songs during the 80's. Sad to see artist of my youth passing away. Brings to mind our own mortality.
Bob Casale's passing reminded me of Devo and their 80's discography. I won't say much but post my favorite Devo song, "Beautiful World." I remember loving this when I was a kid and still do. I didn't really get the lyrics and the irony of the images in the video when I was a younger. Now, I feel like the song has grown in weight and meaning.
