The Flaming Lips

Since the band's formation in 1983, The Flaming Lips have remained as eclectic and diverse as pop music of the past three decades.  Taking an entire decade just to reach the Top 40 Billboard charts, this group has managed to remain fresh and quirky throughout their lengthy tenure.  Whereas famous bands all around them have come and gone, the Lips show that true talent and creativity can -- and will -- be rewarded by those most savvy in music.  Although entire books can be written on their history, The Flaming Lips are best understood by experiencing their music either live or on high volume at home (Additional psychoactive stimuli are optional).
