Sad? That's awesome!

It's not like OK has a better band. Anyway, they have a couple good songs even though most of their work is boring.

/before you flame, I own two of their albums, including Yoshimi. I am familiar with their work. OK?

I saw them when I didn't have chest fur. They were a more than okay feedback band back then. I dug it.

Holy shiate, appparently they have gone the distance and recently played the D.C. Mall to a gazillion peeps. More power to them.

I don't know about bands, but if you want to open it up to individuals, there was some guy named Woody Guthrie.

I didn't see it in this article, but the reason the House rejected it was because one of the band members wore a hammer and sickle shirt at the Oklahoma State Capital last month.

Subby needs to take Poli-sci 101 again.

You shut your whore mouth!

Best live show ever in the history of music.

Why is the world full of such sad, joyless people? Oh, submitter. Lighten up, Francis.

Oh, Creed-mitter....you so sad :(

I wondered if the sad tag would make it through.

Approximately 2 Dongs.

GFY, scrubby.

I recently sold a slightly used one for about $70. I've never seen a sealed go for more than $150 or so, mostly less. You should save your money for Hit To Death...

Nothing more than $100 on ebay in the last month. Nothing more than $203 on popsike... ever. Even that is too much. It wasn't a rare record to begin with. I'm sure there is some kind of direct correlation to the price of Soft Bulletin to hipster kid's allowances.

Ahhh, the only way to get a greenlight anymore it seems: Submit a trolly headline.

Tatsuma: subby: Upon realizing The Flaming Lips really aren't that great

Holy crappola, I agree with Tatsuma.

Seeing The Flaming Lips live is something you'll never forget. Incredible showmanship.

Bondidude: Ahhh, the only way to get a greenlight anymore it seems: Submit a trolly headline.

Well, a whole bunch of butt hurt fans always jump in and defend their band's honor, and/or chew out subby. Then they proceed to get in a flame war with someone who just randomly trolls like saying "Flaming Lips suck monkey balls."

Which pretty much describes all the music tab topics. Insert Radiohead, Nine Inch Nails, Nickelback, Coldplay, U2, Fall Out Boy, Eminem as needed.

It also works on the Geek tab, Politics tab, etc.

Just replace your favorite band with Apple/Microsoft or Republicans/Democrats.

Whatever gets the clicks and page views I guess. It just gets kind of irritating when headlines are more troll bait than amusing or clever.

There was an eccentric Oklahoma millionaire named Wes Brunson, now deceased, who funded the early Soft Machine (with Daevid Allen) while they were in Europe. Allen went on to form Gong who are an obvious influence on the Lips. I just like the Lips 'cause my wife is in their latest DVD. She's the "zoo lady". There is probably some farker out there who has fapped to it.

I don't think you know what boring music sounds like.

Or what the word "most" means.

And this is one reason why I like our governor.

Our legislature, on the other hand, is primarily composed of idiotic bigoted asshats.

I'd rather see threads about "top albums of 2009 so far," top 10 under appreciated albums, etc. There's plenty of Farkers who really know their stuff, it would be cool to peer inside their record crates. Just sayin' I wish we could have more "like" and "recommend" threads as opposed to another Coldplay super flame war.

flaminglip:

Did you just say the FL suck monkey balls? I'll punch your face you stupid little electro nerd :P

Neener, neener! :p :)

/hides all his FL albums underneath his Underworld albums.

I really tried to give The Flaming Lips a chance, but after about 6 songs deleted their crap.

I'm not sure that owning two WHOLE albums makes you "familiar" with their work.

The Starlight Mints laugh at your ignorance of the goodness of music from Norman, OK.

/Black cat detector

Coming from a state responsible for Color Me Badd, Garth Brooks, Hanson, and Carrie Underwood, I wholeheartedly support the Flaming Lips for the simple fact that they are none of those acts. Okay, I like them too.

/works too much to see The Starlight Mints when they play.
//Crocodile's good too and their keyboardist is hot.
///Yes, I know her.

The Lips own you and your pathetic iPod playlists, subby.

Can people get over subby's obvious troll? Can we grow up a little? Subby even outed himself in this thread and said he likes the Flaming Lips.

_{THAT THAT THAT}

flaminglip: Ok, I sub'd an idea for this in the music tab. Any input would be appreciated.

Sorry for the threadjack.

I would have gone with a TF discussion thread. Just sayin'.

I didn't think I'd like the Flaming Lips. Then I saw them live. Now I'm a fan.

The Nixons

Ditto. Took my friend to see them for his birthday. They completely won me over. Been a fan ever since.

/It was the UFOs at the Zoo performance at the OKC Zoo
//mercifully, I avoided the cameras that were recording the concert DVD

The Flaming Lips are a great band who write good music and give awesome shows - but they suck at playing their instruments. Still, all the haters on here have shiat for musical tastes.

The Lips are second in quality of stage show to one man: G G Allin. Defecation, sex acts, and mutilation on stage trumps dousing oneself in fake blood to belt out old Sabbath tunes.

Except for when Ronald was in the group.

Jacob Fred crushes the Lips like a grape.
The Lips need to start doing drugs again, they've been sucking ass since 1995.

They kicked the lips songs out because they are "LOL LIBERAL SOCIALISTS" musicians. And Oklahoma is the most republican state after utah.

electronicmaji: They kicked the lips songs out because they are "LOL LIBERAL SOCIALISTS" musicians. And Oklahoma is the most republican state after utah.

Actually, they are the most solidly "red" state in the union. In the presidential election of the past November, not one county in Oklahoma state was carried by the guy with the (D) after his name.

"the" shoulda been "this"

the first "the" in the second sentence, that is.
