197. The Flaming Lips

Not exactly the type of music that you may expect to come out of Oklahoma, the Flaming Lips became critical darlings with their brand of Alternative Pop. With music as weird as it is beautiful and with a fearless attitude towards their music making, it shouldn’t be a surprise if this band climbs the ranking in our future lists as the Flaming Lips have the makings of an Alternative act whose legacy could be on a constant rise.
