Devo

Devo was one of the leaders of early new wave, and is considered the definitive example of it. They were named for their theory of "de-evolution", in which evolution will eventually go in reverse and we will ultimately become single-celled organisms again. They were parodied by Weird Al Yankovic in his Dare to Be Stupid, which was used in the original Transformers film for the Junkions scene. The video takes elements from Satisfaction and Whip It. When Yankovic voiced the leader of the Junkions in the Transformers revival cartoon, he referenced the song. The group has had a major influence on alternative and industrial music. They were noted for their cover of The Rolling Stones' Satisfaction, in which they wore radiation suits for the video. The actual Hall of Fame has previously considered Devo, but they have yet to be inducted. They are also noted as one of the Big Three of early new wave along with The B-52's and Talking Heads. They were noted for their weirdness definitive of early new wave bands. They also once collaborated with folk rock musician Neil Young.
