Who gets The Flaming Lips?

[Old Mother Hell]

Their albums regularly top the year´s end charts since time immemorial. Every reviewer, magazine, cultural pundit, journo hacks and hipsters unanimously agree that the Lips are the cat´s knackers, etc etc...

I don´t f***ing get it. I heard some of the stuff and I don´t dislike them but I don´t understand the huge, huge fuss every time they release some damn, inscrutable, nudge-nudge wink-wink album.

Coyne, bless ´im, has got nice hair, though.

 

[++++++]

I know several people who speak of The Flaming Lips with wide eyes and hushed, awe-struck whispers. I never really saw the appeal either. It's not bad by a long shot, but I never could get into them.

Can I claim my prize? Is there one?
