Flaming Lips / Mercury Rev

Just wanted to know what people think of this band, they've been going a long time now and have made constantly quirky music for over twenty years now they are closely affiliated with Mercury Rev another band who have been around for a while now jonathon Donahue was a member of the Lips once.I personally think both bands are excellent and a good example of bands plugging away obscurly for years then making good.

Come on then they're latest album has some Floydian bits on it I thought someone would like them

I like The Flaming Lips, they are pretty great.
I like like there newer stuff, Yoshimi ect...
Have you heard of the Butthole Surfers? They are similar to the lips.

My dad owns a copy of deserter's songs. It's not bad. Holes is good song, as is Tonite it shows and Opus 40. The rest is average.

I bought Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots and i was like, cool, it was trippy but had a good rock bit goin on. especially like Do You Realize?
played that to girlfriend, she digged it.

but recently i bought the Soft Bulletin, its ok but more mainstream. not being mainstream was one of their traits i liked

I recently bought 'Yoshimi' at a used record store mainly because it was a good price. Once I put it on, I had no idea what in the hell I was getting into. But, I really like the album now, especially the creepy sound fx.

I have also heard "She Don't Use Jelly" from their earlier days. Funny stuff.

i've got yoshimi and like it very much actually.
and like that singel with chemical brothers, golden path or sth liek that

from earlier albums i've herad maybe 3-4 songs which i like but don't know their names
