Devo to Whip Up Rock Band Tracks

DEVO RULES, WHIP IT WOULD HAVE TO BE INCLUDED BUT I AGREE THERE ARE SO MANY WORTHY TRACKS THAT SHOULD BE INCLUDED. MANY YOUNG PEOPLE DO NOT REALIZE THE INPACT THAT DEVO HAS ON TODAYS AND FUTURE MUSIC. "DUTY NOW FOR THE FUTURE"

This made my day...Devo is one of my favorite bands!

Way back when they said they are going to add Metallica - Fuel to Rock Band. Whatever happened to that?

I agree that "Whip It" is overplayed (and not even one of their better songs) but given that's the song that gets ~100% recognition when you say "Devo" it's probably going to be on there. So the interesting question is what is #3? "Uncontrollable Urge" would be awesome, but the one I want more than any other: "Gate of Steel" (seriously, listen to the live version, it totally rocks). But I'm willing to bet it's actually "Jocko Homo" or "Mongoloid" -- which is fine, they're great party-oke songs.

Some Devo songs would need re-recording of the drum tracks, too, because there's so much going on (not all of it human-triggered) in the recorded versions they're probably unplayable.

Aside: Mothersbaugh is an awesome guy, way underrated as a composer (listen to the Peewee Playhouse music) and also as a media theorist. Devo was an idea before it was a project, and a video before it was a band (back before bands had videos). They originally thought they would be able to spin off live performing troupes, much as Blue Man Group has done, while they sat home and composed music and cashed checks. Way ahead of their time.

I was a big Devo fan back in the early 80's. Whip It was not even close to being one of my favorite Devo tunes.

This should be fun anyways... :)

Well, I'm kind of tired of hearing Whip It, so I hope that's not one of the tracks, but Devo is pretty awesome so this is good news for me. It's also really cool that they rerecorded it so it works with the game better. I was kind of annoyed that March of the Pigs wasn't as fun as I thought it was going to be, because it had you playing the piano with the guitar controller at two points.

"One of those little crazy endings" - hahaha, I never knew it had a technical term.

Devo is awesome and I'll probably play the shit out of these songs just so I can hear the new recordings.
