10 More Perfect 2000s Rock Albums With No Bad Songs

Ever just need to kick back and float around in a dreamscape of unthreatening musical concepts? Then stick this record on. But be warned, once you reach track four, you might get somewhat alarmed by all the eery shrieking that punctuates the squelchy synth bass melodies.

Somewhere between the categories of folk-rock and psychedelic trip-hop, you'll find The Flaming Lips. There is lots of bizarre sounds on this album, but even with all the instruments trying to find a way through the multitude of effects, you don't ever get the sense there's too much going on. All the textures just add to the strange but rather enjoyable soundscape that's being created.

Kevin Parker has stated his work with Tame Impala has been inspired by The Flaming Lips, but that would be an understatement. This album is the basis for everything Parker has done in the last 10 years, he just cranked the reverb up to 11. After a decade of Tame Impala's sound being pumped into your consciousness, it's difficult to not compare this record to that sound. But, The Faming Lips definitely did it first.
