Our Favorite Band of 2025

The year is (almost) over! And we are delighted. So what better time to share our most-loved and most-listened to bands with our dutiful, beautiful listeners? If the year-end "best of" lists overwhelm you, we hope you'll enjoy a mini-deep dive into two bands we kept coming back to all year long. And truly, we cannot wait to discover more new (and old) music with you in 2026! Thanks for listening all year long! VIDEOSDevo: Uncontrollable Urge (1978)Being Dead: Van Goes (2024)EXTRASRolling Stone: ICE Ads Are All Over Your Favorite Streaming ServicesBeing Dead article in Texas MonthlyBeing Dead: Big Bovine music videoBeing Dead KEXP In-Studio PerformanceBowie Introduces Devo at Max’s Kansas City (1977)Human Highway (1982)Devo: Freedom of Choice (1980)Devo: Girl U Want (1980)Devo Performing I Can’t Get No Satisfaction on SNL (1979)Devo Performing Uncontrollable Urge Live on Fridays (1980)Devo Performing Nutra Theme/Jerkin Back and Forth Live on Fridays (1981)Devo Performing Uncontrollable Urge at Hollywood Bowl (Oct. 18, 2025)Guardian Interview with Mark Mothersbaugh and Gerald Casale  (2022)Mark Mothersbaug on KCRW with his Minimoog (2016)Connect with us on Instagram (to share your song picks or troll us), Spotify (for our ever-growing playlist), and Stereothematica.com (for extra fun)!If you like what you’re hearing, please subscribe, and if you love it, a five-star rating and review would send us into the exosphere of excitement.And email us at [email protected]!
