Pearl Jam stealing from Devo?!?
I've always said people who think of Devo as a synth-pop band are missing out on some great guitar-driven rock. So I wasn't completely surprised when Pearl Jam sang a new song ("Get Some") on Conan O'Brien's first show and it sounded almost exactly like the song "Gut Feeling" from Devo's incredible first album.
By the way, Gut Feeling is an awesome song. The surf-guitar intro just builds and builds -- I love it. (But for those in a rush, skip to the 2:30 mark to hear what PJ ripped off.)
Now skip to :25 in on this video to hear Pearl Jam's version (or listen to the whole song, which matches the Devo song exactly in chord progressions, I think.)

Thanks. I hate when that happens.
I switched to a different video that works, at least for now.
