interestingly George Bush gave the same answer to the question "Are you invading Iraq to help the Iraqi people?"

Yeah i'm still stuck in 2003 topical humour.

I'm 6'2" 190lbs. Wanna fight? I got ya. We can listen to the Flaming Lips while we do

Haha. No way. You got at least 30 pounds on me. I'm all sinew. But I can picture two dudes fighting to Yoshimi. Looks like you, purple, are the biggest FL fan. Hats off!

I like the Flaming Lips a lot. They're so eccentric and weird, but also a lot of fun to listen to. Their mid 90's noisy guitar albums aren't mentioned on here very much, but they're well worth checking out. Hit to Death in The Future Head through Clouds Taste Metallic is a great run of psychedelic rock. The interesting thing about The Flaming Lips is that they developed slowly. I do not recommend their 80's and early 90's period stuff. A lot of it sounds kind of unfocused and amateurish. I made the mistake of getting Finally The Punk Rockers are Taking Acid (a compilation of their first few albums and outtakes). I sold it back and don't recommend picking that one up. I've heard In a Priest Driven Ambulance is good though. Supposedly, that's when they started to get good, but I don't own that album.

So are they varied enough that someone who finds The Soft Bulletin not necessarily bad but mostly uninteresting might still enjoy some of their other stuff?

Well, their earlier stuff sounds nothing like The Soft Bulletin, so over the years, yeah, they're pretty varied, I suppose. They used to be noisier. I never know what to recommend you though, Bork. You and I have very different taste. Sorry.

That is a fantastic album, have you listened to Clouds Taste Metallic? That in my opinion is their masterpiece.

Who is the LEAST fan of the flaming lips? That would be I.

The lead singers voice is worse than Jeff Mangum and the singer of Arcade Fire's put together. This is some bubblegum non-sense. I have tried soft bulletin and pink robots over ten times and no go for me.

I think you just dissed 3 of my favourite artists.

Shun. =;

Was just about to say this. That hurt :p

The Flaming Lips? You mean that bubblegum band? 😉
