4. The Flaming Lips - Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots

The Flips set the bar high with The Soft Bulletin, the first of their quasi-orchestrated albums, but basically reached those same heights with Yoshimi.  Starts of with a bit of a concept suite about fighting robots and ends in a series of melancholic synth walls.  Sad, dream-like, and beautiful. “One More Robot/Sympathy 3000-21” “Are You a Hypnotist??” “Do You Realize??”
