#40. I wasn't aware of the Flaming Lips before She Don't Use Jelly hit in 1993, but they had already been releasing albums for 7 years. It still took a few more years after that, and when they unleashed their masterpiece The Soft Bulletin in 1999, I finally went to see them in concert.
Although the show was really good, they were in a period of transition and were performing without a drummer. Over the next few Flaming Lips shows I saw, they finally worked together the perfect spectacle of a live show with one show leaving us almost ankle deep in confetti. One review I read called their show the direct descendant of KISS and Parliament/Funkadelic. That's about right.
