Flaming Lips were a psychedelic and experimental rock band from Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, formed in 1983. Led by the eccentric Wayne Coyne, they evolved from noisy garage rock into lush, orchestral psychedelia. The Soft Bulletin (1999) and Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots (2002) were critical and commercial breakthroughs.
