Discuss..

I have to say, im a fan of the flaming lips and they have been around for a long time, so it fits, but anyways my favorite album of theirs is The Soft Bulletin, totally a rockin' album.
They also have a christmas movie made waiting for an Xmas release. I think its called Christmas on Mars.
also members of the lips helped Steve Burns with his album (which i like more than the flaming lips ^^)

I do, but yeah, I like Steve's album better.

Ever heard "Spongebob & Patrick Confront the Psychic Wall of Energy"? Probably not, 'cause you all loathe that show and didn't see the movie, but it's also very good.

Interesting side note: Besides the Lips themselves, Steve Burns, Issac Brock from Modest Mouse, and "Hebrew Hammer" Adam Goldberg are also in Christmas On Mars.

And remember, "I'm-a Yoshimi, number one!"

Nice to see a group like them up for a change of pace. I'll get around to giving you guys a suggestion one of these days.

I just got 'Transmissions from the Satellite Heart" in December.

Good CD.

The Flaming Lips are synth-guitar pop, NOT rock. Just to clear that up.

***CaptHayfever*** · 03-02-2005, 11:47 PM

They're psych-rock.

And remember, "I'm-a Luigi, number one!"

They may have lightened up in recent years, but try listening to their 1993 breakthrough "Transmissions from the Satellite Heart" and say that it's NOT rock.

Edit: Also, listen to their new cover of The White Stripes' "Seven Nation Army"
