The Flaming Lips are one of two groups (the other being Spoon) whose work I love implicitly. While this group isn't necessarily my favorite, there's something about this band that just gets to me. Perhaps it's their ability to create simple stories with a kind of artistry and a kind of poignance that a lot of artists don't really attempt. Maybe it has to do with how bright and inviting their sound is, at least if given enough patience. It could be that these guys are simply what I dig. Whatever the case may be, I truly adore this group. They have done no wrong, as far as I'm concerned, and they are absolute geniuses.

One of my all-time favourite bands. Listen to Clouds Taste Metallic and The Soft Bulletin- those are the best ones.

Clouds is so underrated...

Unbelievable live band - Race for the Prize is the best opening song to a gig ever and the whole place always goes ballistic. A stupendous body of work - soft bulletin, yoshimi and mystics are all classics. Wayne Coyne is the best frontman in music.

I would love to see Yoshimi The Musical. Is this show going to travel outside of La Jolla, CA? I live on the east coast so there would be an impossible investment of time and money to catch the show.

So creative. So varied. Wildest live show I've ever been to. I'm not sure if these guys are the craziest artists around, or if they are clearly the most sane. Either way, they're brilliant.

THE best band. 12 albums with the last 8 all having their own merit and a handful being clasic masterpiece's.
