The Flaming Lips have been making quirky indie music for years. They have released some challenging music in their time but nothing ordinary... there is always something interesting happening. They even released an album containing 4 CD's to be played on different CD players simultaneously... I not sure if many critics heard it the way it was supposed to be heard and I guess it wasn't a big seller. But that is what they are about. However, they perfected their sound and eventually crossed over to a larger audience with the 1999 album "The Soft Bulletin" and they've never looked back. "She Don't Use Jelly" was a college radio/indie hit and came out in 1993, a lot earlier than the breakthrough album.... but they were not able to cash in on it, other than critical acclaim for the follow-up album a couple of years later.
