The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame will announce this year’s inductees next month, and Devo is hoping this is the year they’ll finally become members.
“At the risk of being immodest, I think Devo – bigger than our record sales – had an influence on the aesthetic and trajectory of rock and roll,” frontman Mark Mothersbaugh tells NME, “so it would be nice to be recognized.”
Devo’s fellow nominee Dolly Parton tried to take herself out of the running, noting she hadn’t “earned the right” to get in, but the Hall turned her down, and Mark agrees with them.
“I think she has as much right as a rapper would she has every right to be there,” he says. “Her music, whether she knows it or not, has a lot of rock elements in it. I voted for Dolly Parton anyhow.”
