This thread is dedicated to The Flaming Lips
I've just discovered this amazing band, and was so moved that I listened to The Soft Bulletin and Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots, back to back, several times! Their music has, warmth, feeling, and emotion. Their songs tell stories that make me think and wonder. This is something most bands these days are incapable of doing.
My favorite songs have to be:
-Spoonful Weighs a Ton
-Waitin' for a Superman
-One More Robot/Sympathy 3000-21
-Do You Realize?
I do not know what they remind me of... their songs are nothing like the progressive rock/metal I normally listen to, with the exception of "uncategorizable" bands like Godspeed You Black Emperor, Sigur Ros, Mogwai, etc. - and the Flaming Lips seem closer to this short list than to the rest of my playlist.
Anyone else fall in love with this band? What do you think of them? What other bands have a similar feeling?
