What's your favourite Flaming Lips album?
 
Hear it is
Oh My Gawd!!!
Telepathic Surgery
In A Preist Driven Ambulance
Hit To Death in the Future Head
Transmissions from the Satelite Heart
Clouds Taste Metalic
Zaireeka
The Soft Bulletin
Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots
At War With The Mystics

Ive just finished reading Staring at Sound which is the book about the flaming lips, and it surprised me how much they are alike sonic youth. I think the flaming lips sound has changed and evolved alot more then sonic youth's has though. But Sonic Youth have put out Far Far more albums.
I think my favourite Flaming Lips album would have to be 'Clouds Taste Metalic' its so sweet and special, like the musical equilivant of a lollypop with gum in the middle.
So what's your favoutite Flaming Lips Album???


(Zaireeka is not included in the poll because you can only have 10, and because its so different to the others)

The Soft Bulletin.

i don't get soft bulletin... i think it's really overrated. but yoshimi is great!

however my biggest fave is transmissions from the satellite heart, what a masterpiece!

Toss up between Clouds and Bulletin (Transmissions at a close third). I went with The Soft Bulletin.

transmissions is amazing but I had to go with soft bulletin

sun city girl 10.19.2006 08:37 AM

stop voting for soft bulletin... or please tell me why you like it? i don't get it, it's boring...

screamingskull 10.19.2006 09:34 AM

the soft bulletin is good but not fantastic, i much prefer the older stuff.

jon boy 10.19.2006 09:36 AM

I'm not really a flamings lips fan, can't seem to get into them.

krastian 10.19.2006 11:53 PM

I'd say Transmissions because it is the album that got me into them. Plus it has Pilot Can at the Queer of God.

and she don't use jelly.

Cantankerous 10.19.2006 11:59 PM

i personally have started blowing my nose with all the backissues of melody maker i've got lying around.

Transmissions is the only album of their's that i can listen to without skipping through like half the songs. so i went with that.

Cantankerous 10.20.2006 01:10 AM

sun city girl 10.20.2006 04:33 AM

finding nobody 10.20.2006 08:39 AM

I love Transmissions to death.
Zaaireeka is epic. It just sucks becuse it requires alot of effort to get te full effect

screamingskull 10.20.2006 09:08 AM

yeah i agree, i only have 3 stereos so i cant listen to it properly.

Alex's Trip 10.20.2006 09:27 AM

I made my own Zaireeka mix. It isn't anything special, but I have them all on 1 disc.
