Talk:Devo

From This Might Be A Wiki

I don't think this page is really necessary. Devo is only related TMBG through one song, and it's a fairly obscure song (as far as TMBG goes, at least). Sure they're kind of relevant to The Residents and Pere Ubu, but that's really a stretch, don't you think? - Apollo (colloquia!) 12:42, 28 May 2011 (EDT)

I was planning to say the same thing. --Self Called Nowhere 18:15, 28 May 2011 (EDT)
ditto. --Duke33 20:18, 28 May 2011 (EDT)

Added a bit more on how Devo 2.0 was inspired by TMBG's kid's stuff -- hope that justifies the connection. --Octoflange 22:46, 28 May 2011 (EDT)

There are plenty of other bands that have been influenced by TMBG--that doesn't mean they all need pages. --Self Called Nowhere 22:54, 28 May 2011 (EDT)
OK, well, delete it if you'd like -- I'd personally like to see entries for all of the original songwriters. And Devo seems to be a much stronger case than, say, Bob Lind.--Octoflange 23:15, 28 May 2011 (EDT)
I don't think that page should exist either, FWIW. --Self Called Nowhere 23:28, 28 May 2011 (EDT)
I don't see a point in having pages for all the original songwriters if there's already the TMBG Remakes page...I think some of them definitely warrant pages, but perhaps just not Devo. -Apollo (colloquia!) 23:51, 28 May 2011 (EDT)
