#252 Devo, 'Q: Are We Not Men? A: We Are Devo!' (1978)

Devo’s debut album is a frenetic record of New Wave, Post-Punk paranoia and anxiety. David Bowie and Iggy Pop had received a tape of Devo demos from the wife of a friend in 1977. At the band’s debut New York gig, Bowie announced "this is the band of the future, I'm going to produce them in Tokyo this winter." That didn’t quite happen, though. Brian Eno landed up producing the album (his 5th entry on the list), with David Bowie assisting on the weekends.
