Another band to fall in love with!

The Flaming Lips!

So far:
Favourite song: Free Radicals (A Hallucination Of The Christmas Skeleton Pleading With A Suicide Bomber)
Favourite album art: Oh My Gawd (1987)

I just hope this list will keep expanding! They have a really awesome sound. You have to give them credit for being able to survive so long in the music industry. I think, through the evolving discography of the Flaming Lips, I can better understand why LP went with the different sound in Minutes To Midnight. If they stick to the same formula throughout they'd sell out pretty soon, no matter how good they started out.

And hence, I pronounce a new genre of music be added to my weird collection: PSYCHEDELIC ROCK!

(FYI the genres I already love are alternative rock, hip-hop, pop (more specifically, the middle-of-road kinda pop, a la The Carpenters), electronica, easy listening, jazz, big band, latin and pop (this time, the experimental kinda pop, a la Mika). The most problematic bit, however, is I only like one act from every genre, save for some of the broader ones like jazz and easy listening.)
