Easily The Flaming Lips' greatest track.
-
Meravigliosa

@TheZachReed This song reminds me of a Marvin Gaye (eg., Mercy Mercy Me), but slowed down and that bloke from Thunderclap Newman on vocals.

anti-solos rule.

This is one of my favorite songs, and the Soft Bulletin is just one of the greats. Period. However, if you're thinking in terms of what is to be considered standard music blocking, then yeah, Steven could have done something pretty enigmatic (he's capable) had he thought a bit more on the guitar "solo"--But, It doesn't really sound like he was going for a solo, and it never really does. Steven isn't writing pop songs, he's writing these landscape compositions you can sort of gently fall into.

@theelk801 What an arrogant prick. Who are you trying to impress? Get off your thrown and leave this page if you're going to spout bullshit.

@TheZachReed I agree! I hear Queen, Pink Floyd and Led Zepp (just to name a few).
-
I don't hear any music rules being broken in this song. Enlighten me please.
-
Music is filled with rules, but they can and have been broken to accommodate new ideas. Unlike a math problem every problem has multiple answers and none of them are correct. Miles Davis is jazz, the genre that gave the middle finger to classical conformity. This song is good because it feels like riding in the back of a car and looking up at the street lights as they rush past the night sky. Thats how feeling yourself disintegrate feels like to me. How could bad and music even go together?
-
That last sentence pretty much contradicted the rest of that whole paragraph. If things such as "new rules" actually exist, then couldn't anything that goes outside these supposed 'rules' of music just be called "new rules"?
"Hey man, you can't just bang on that pan and call it music. Music has RULES you gotta follow."
"Nah, man, these are the NEW rules."
See what I mean?

@theelk801 if you are a guitar player and judge the quality of a solo by its complexity, please quit playing.
