Missed it but I'd have voted Mongoloid. My first ever band did a cover of it when I was 13 or 14. I'm sure it was awful.

Stoked that Satisfaction got some votes this time. Its weird how all time covers get short shrift in these (see also: Killing Me Softly in the Fugees poll)

I could have easily voted for 'Satisfaction', but man, all the originals on this album are just so strong.

I know but Satisfaction is practically an original itself

i voted for "Space Junk," and then felt right about that choice later that day when i saw the phrase in the U.S. Space and Rocket Center

Seconded - and it's the song that keeps me coming back to this album. When I do I remember how great it is overall, but the other songs don't stick with me like this one does.

for me the archetypal Space Junk will always be an exhortation breathed by Fred Schneider during Channel Z

There's something about the guitar line, the vocal delivery and the chord progression in 'Shrivel Up' which sounds to me like a very obvious influence on The Pixies.

...and still great. I know their early "Hardcore" material has its fans but I prefer the versions on this album.

Checked a few Devo threads including two for this album and the unconpollable urge and couldn't see this posted.
The story behind the (US) cover image. Interviews with Jerry, Mark and other players. Also added Langley School Project.

Chi Chi Rodriguez is one of the most famous golfers in history.
Er, I don't think so, I'd never heard of him - he only played in one Open Championship in 18 years, that probably explains it.

explains why the face looks so "off" - though I would disagree with the "hideous" descriptor, I think the altered photo looks better!
