13. The Soft Bulletin – The Flaming Lips (1999)
When The Soft Bulletin arrived, it was largely overshadowed by the glossy pop that dominated the late 1990s charts. Listeners gradually discovered its lush orchestration, ambitious production, and deeply emotional songwriting. The album soon earned a devoted following, with critics hailing it as a turning point in the band’s career and a modern psychedelic classic.
