Taking Sides: Late Butthole Surfers vs. Late Flaming Lips vs. Late Dead Milkmen

beat, melody, lyrics!

Shit... Shit... Shit...

Talking about freaking out the normal man (but not actually doing it) vs. freaking out themselves vs. freaking useless.

Of the three, the Flaming Lips by a long shot.

Singles, Albums, Ether!

jesus, the Dead Milkmen! i mean, c'mon......"Not Crazy"?!!

Of the three, the only ones that ever really impressed were the Butthole Surfers...and even they have long since stopped mattering. Are the Dead Milkmen still a going concern? The last thing of thiers I remember was "Methodist Colouring Book," which was pretty funny. See, that's the thing....they were simply nyuck nyuck rock with nothing else going for them, whereas the Buttholes could be funny....in a very scary way....and could make genuinely innovative, often disturbing, strange, compelling and "rockin'" music.

The Flaming Lips? None for me, thanks.
