Talk:Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots

message: By the time this album was released, the Flaming Lips had been on a major label for 10 years. A decade. WHY ARE THEY STILL CONSIDERED INDIE ROCK? THEY ARE NOT ON AN INDEPENDENT LABEL, THEY HAVE BEEN ON WARNER BROS FOR 10 YEARS AS OF THIS RELEASE, SOMEBODY CHANGE THIS BEFORE I REALLY BLOW ONE
:So, did you blow one?
:The style is indie rock, since if you compare their first album to rock and roll of the era, you would have to consider it "indie" in comparison to mainstream rock.
: No need to write in capslock. The above comment is correct, 'Indie' is not just a status any more, it is commonly used to reffer to a certain type of genre or sound.
---To be fair, their style is pretty lush and involved for "indie".
Why can't they just go back to being called what they are: Post-punk?  At least it does more to describe their sound than "indie", the only genre whose descriptive ability is more worthless than "alternative"
Psych- or prog-rock seem like they'd both be apt...moreso than the ever-less-useful "indie" tag, anyway.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 65.217.231.6 (talk) 17:38, 8 May 2013 (UTC)

message: From the article:  "Some listeners consider Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots to be a concept album, but the storyline is unclear."  This is true only for those who don't "get it" when they listen to the album.  Unclear to who?  RobertAustin 23:24, 1 April 2007 (UTC)

message: Cat Stevens is referenced as being "now Yusuf Islam" in the first section of the article; should this clause be removed now he has (debatably) changed his name? Which is the correct name to use?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Moonwater21 (talk • contribs) 00:35, 19 November 2017 (UTC)

message: Does anyone know who the artist is for the cover the the albums?
Wayne Coyne drew this and some of the other more recent ones. Beautiful art. --Rikkyc (talk) 23:40, 3 March 2009 (UTC)
