Jarlaxle 56 Posted November 24, 2007 Share Posted November 24, 2007 Well, it was obvious no one else was going to create this thread... Still digging the UFOs DVD...everyone needs to get it, it's the only official live recording out of them. And I STILL haven't been to any of their concerts *wishes he had been born 40 years earlier so he could have seen them in their punk rawkish days* What's everyone's favourite Lips album? And if you haven't heard any, why? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Day Tripper Posted November 24, 2007 Share Posted November 24, 2007 I've yet to see them, but I LOVE them so very much. Yoshimi is a classic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jarlaxle 56 Posted November 24, 2007 Author Share Posted November 24, 2007 Yeah, Yoshimi was the first album I heard. It's my favourite for sure, though you can't really compare it to anything before The Soft Bulletin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muse Posted November 24, 2007 Share Posted November 24, 2007 Absolutely love Clouds Taste Metallic, The Soft Bulletin, and Yoshimi Battles The Pink Robots. Transmissions From The Satellite Heart is OK. I don't like anything else I've heard from them. Those few albums though, easily put The Flaming Lips in amongst my top bands. So good.

Jarlaxle 56 Posted November 25, 2007 Author Share Posted November 25, 2007 Only commercial I've seen with a Lips song is the Dell commercial that has the song W.A.N.D. off of At War With The Mystics.. I seem to remember reading about another one of their songs being used for a commercial...can't remember what though, sorry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kirchzep27 Posted November 25, 2007 Share Posted November 25, 2007 I don't know about the weirdest, -ween can be very weird. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jarlaxle 56 Posted November 25, 2007 Author Share Posted November 25, 2007 ^^^ Not just talking about the music when I say they're weirdest, I mean you don't fully understand until you read the biography of the band, "Staring At Sound" but over their 24 years of being a band they have done some crazy shit, inside and outside the studio. For example, this is from the book.... "The Flaming Lips had borrowed one of the Butthole Surfers' most striking stage effects, which involved filling an upside down cymbal with alcohol. The band's friend George Salisbury lit "the Flames of Destiny" and struck the cymbal sending burning alcohol shooting everywhere and setting himself on fire. A panicked club staffer doused him with an extinguisher prompting Wayne to crack, "I'd rather be burned to death than be sprayed with that shit".

bigstickbonzo Posted November 25, 2007 Share Posted November 25, 2007 I haven't been a fan of the Lips for as long as I should have been a fan of the Lips. Clouds Taste Metallic is brilliant. and Yoshimi was recorded on the Moon. I know it to be true. Not from this planet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
