The Flaming Lips (rock, albums, fan, American, cover)

"Pompeii Am Götterdämmerung" and "The Sound Of Failure / It's Dark...Is It Always This Dark??" are absolutely jaw dropping.

Oh how I look forward to seeing this band live. After seeing videos of him going on stage by rolling over the crowd in a plastic bubble and then having the band/extras dressed up as animals...I can't wait.

I really need to get more of their stuff- I only have YOSHIMI, which I think is brilliant, but somehow I have never followed up on them. Too many bands, not enough time.

Anyone recommend their best albums?

Transmissions From The Satellite Heart is a good one , that was kinda their breakthrough album in the early 90s.

The Soft Bulletin was kind of more mellow than what they did before and is probably the closest in sound to Yoshimi.

Most of their 80s albums were totally mental , if you want to check any of those out I think Telepathic Surgery is the best.

Incredible band live. I wasn't really a fan until I saw them at a late night show at Bonnaroo. They are making a repeat this year, I can't wait!

I need to see them live.
The 'soft bulletin pwns' so does 'transmissions from the..'.
I wasn't that over chuffed with 'At war with the mystics' though.

I have listened to zaireeka the correct way. it is the ****. ive never heard something quite like it. its spectacular.

now its easily downloadable through torrents. now what i want is a version you can listen to on an ipod... a combining of all 4 cds... i dont have an audio program to do it, but someone should, then upload it to mediafire or something.

but dont just listen to that, it still wouldnt be anywhere near as great as pumping up 4 stereos... sounds coming from everywhere....

Is the band name connected to thrush in anyway?

I think it's something to do with the huge amounts of acid they used to consume in the early/mid 80s.
