Well, "talent" is not strictly dictated by technical prowess, but "Godlike" is an adjective which I refrain from using.

Well...I'm a huge fan...and they are a great band ...but they make no pretensions of being "great musicians". So "Godlike talent" I think is debatable.

What I love about them is the childlike wonder I hear in their music, their sense of whimsy , and the sheer feeling of exuberent fun they impart in their music and excel at in concert. They are a raucous and rocking good time...and for my money...what more could you ask of a band?

no argument here!

One of the most interesting bands around.
Not much can top a live Lips show!

Flaming Lips = Godlike talent

+1 Agreed.

I saw them FREE in concert at the Univ of Florida after work one night circa 2006/7 and was blown away by how much fun they were having and how they tried to enlist the crowd in that fun. It was really quite amazing. I'll definitely go out of my way to see them on tour next time. Make sure you check-out Yoshimi Battles The Pink Robots which is a bit more accessible than The Soft Bulletin and some of their other stuff (e.g., Zyreka).

I'm not sure which song they covered, but I can't help hearing Daniel Johnston every time these guys get played.

I did! I used wikipedia a bit, they have a superman reference page, used some songs from the smallville soundtracks, and tossed out a bunch that werent fitting with the rock sound of the cd

and intro of course, was the old TV intro, and the closing song was the orig Superman movie theme :)

boyfriend = nerd = rubbing off on me

OMG... true dat!

That actually sounds like a pretty fun project. Did you include The Spin Doctors "Pocketful of Kryptonite"? An argument could also be made for Robin Trower's "Day of the Eagle" or if you wanted just to do a spin on superheroes you could include The Kinks song "Captain America Calling"

And apparently Jerry Seinfeld is also really really obsessed with Superman so your bf is in good company (personally I like Catwoman and Wolverine and the Tick offcoz )

hoping that this ends soon...really soon
