The Flaming Lips (formed in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma in 1983) are an American rock band. The band is known for their lush, multi-layered, psychedelic arrangements, spacey lyrics and bizarre song and album titles (for example, "Psychiatric Explorations of the Fetus with Needles", "Free Radicals (A Hallucination of the Christmas Skeleton Pleading with a Suicide Bomber)" and "Yeah, I Know It's a Drag... But Wastin' Pigs Is Still Radical"). They are also acclaimed for their elaborate live shows, which feature costumes, balloons, puppets, video projections, complex stage light configurations, giant hands, large amounts of confetti, and frontman Wayne Coyne's signature man-sized plastic bubble, in which he traverses the audience. In 2002, Q magazine named The Flaming Lips one of the "50 Bands to See Before You Die".

cool group
Doesn't get much better than this, tremendous creativity, beautiful songs.
they have alot of commercial songs
i discovered them 2 years ago and fell in absolute love with them
I was the one who said that first comment about their new stuff. That was before I gave it a chance. Yeah, the new stuff rules too. and yeah, I agree, they are amazing live
there are people making good music. I cant stand the new bullshit. we need more bands like these guys
See them live, it's incredible.
The Flamin Lips, to me, were increadible until somewhere around '99 when they're guitarist, Ronald, left. Which still doesnt account for Wayne's change in songwriting. He's still great, but it seems like he's lost some of the strangeness and soul that used to be evident in his songs. Flaming lips has made my favorite music (hands down (ever)) before, but now they're music is less than awe inspiring.
