10 Albums From Famous Artists NOT On Streaming Services

10. The Flaming Lips – Zaireeka

The eighth studio album by Oklahoma rockers The Flaming Lips, Zaireeka released to little fanfare in 1997. The case holds four separate CDs that are designed when played together to create a full sound. The discs could also be played in different combinations, so really you've got a number of combinations getting into double figures. Trust these guys to come up with a concept so completely out of this world, because only an alien would own four CD players.

Die-hard fans would surely want to hear all of them together for the most complete version of the record - but who owns four devices that play CDs? Especially in 1997.

Currently, only three tracks from this album can be streamed, and perhaps there’s a reason why Wayne Coyne and co. didn’t re-release the rest. Three tracks were re-released during The Soft Bulletin era, but they were unlike how they were originally meant to be listened to on Zaireeka, instead being played on just the one CD with a solitary combination.

To be honest, I'm not even sure how Zaireeka would work on streaming services considering the wild concept it's based on, but maybe one day they'll figure it out.
