Best 7 Albums By The Flaming Lips
The Flaming Lips 12th album, Embryonic, is set to come out sometime this year. With that in mind, here's a look back at the best seven Lips albums to date. They are ordered by time not by greatness!
In a Priest Driven Ambulance (1990) - For some noise rock lovers this is actually The Flaming Lips best album. I'm not really a noise rock lover myself, so I'm not in that category. But I do enjoy this album. At first I found it a bit off putting (I first fell in love with The Soft Bulletin) but has grown on me.
Hit to Death in the Future Head (1992) - I personally prefer this one over Priest Driven Ambulance. It's a crazy album with a lot of really experimental songs.
Transmission from the Satellite Heart (1993) - This is probably the Lips most overrated album because it has their most overrated song, "She Don't Use Jelly," on it. It's still a great album though because a lot of the other songs are very good.
Clouds Taste Metallic (1995) - I think this is the album that works as sort of the encapsulation of the best of the previous three albums. If you are wanting to start digging into the Lips back catalog after first being introduced to the band with their more recent work, this is probably the album to start with.
Zaireeka (1997) - You can only listen to Zaireeka as intended by playing all four CDs on four different CD players simultaneously. But there are a lot of mix-down versions of the album "out there" that gives some approximation of the experience.
The Soft Bulletin (1999) - The most perfect Lips album to date in my opinion. I think it's easily among the greatest albums of the 1990s. A modern day classic that should be heard by anyone who takes "pop music" seriously.
Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots (2002) - When this came out it was an entirely new direction for the band and it still stands apart from the rest of their best albums. It's great, but you shouldn't let it be the only album by The Flaming Lips that you really check out. - 18780
