What bands have used uniforms to comment on conformity?

[Khephra]

I can think of many...

Devo
Talking Heads
Marilyn Manson

I know I'm missing a lot....

[MrScorpio]

1. Kraftwerk and the Blue Man Group come to mind

:evilgrin:

[Deja Q]

4. Blue Man Group sold out to Intel, the ultimate techno-conformist

Apart from Microsoft, of course...

[Wonk]

Pink Floyd

Point me at the sky - 1968


For example...

[jpgray]

3. The Wall as well

"Point Me at the Sky" was more of a last grasp at singles chart success--then they realized their one good pop writer had been kicked out of the band, and did some entertaining "intellectual" noodling to make up for it.

[TheZoo]

2. The Beatles?

Granted, a stretch - but I heard that 1/2 of them (the ones playing for Marie now - George & John) HATED the suits that Brian made them wear.

Then there was that Sgt. Pepper thing....

[DrWeird]

5. Gwar?

(God, I still can't believe my mom took my little brother to see a Gwar concert.)

[Ellen Forradalom]

6. The Donnas

Matching T-shirts: Donna A., Donna C., Donna F., and Donna R.

[Ellen Forradalom]

7. The Residents

with their eyeballs

[ajacobson]

8. Clash

[MiddleRiverRefugee]

9. Stones on Ed Sullivan c. 1966

Wore Nazi uniforms on stage.

Mick apparently had to change the words to 'Let's Spend the Night Together' to 'Let's Spend Some Time Together'
