Number Fifty-One - Kayne Browne - The Entrance, Australia - Born October 28th, 75
Hi a big lips fan, a big drozd fan. Favourite album would be In a Priest Driven Ambulance. No Soft Bulletin. Or Clouds Taste Metallic. Or Transmissions From The Satellite Heart. One of those, they are so different and can't really be compared but they are definately equally brilliant. Hail the lips, best band on the planet now, best band that has ever been.

Number Fifty-Two - Derrick Larson - Illinois - Born August 2nd, 76
My favorite Lips album is anything that Steven has played on '91 to present. I love music and the Flaming Lips top the list. I'm a musician as well, the melodies that Steven and Wayne create inspire me in all aspects.

Number Fifty-Three - Zach - New York - Born October 2nd, 90
Hello thurr. I love the Flaming Lips...The Flaming Lips are right up there with sleep and buffalo wings as, like, my favorite things, like, eva! Uhh...my favorite Lips albums? Impossible to choose between "Zaireeka" and "The Soft Bulletin". Also, my dog likes to hump my backpack.

Number Fifty-Four - James Morris - England - Born 87 - Website
I'm a student, I make comics and home-made albums, I like Neil Young, Kid Carpet, Daniel Johnston, and most importantly the Flaming Lips. My favorite of their albums varies between In a Priest Driven Ambulance and the Ego Tripping e.p. I wouldn't be where I am today without the flaming lips!

Number Fifty-Five - Ali - Bristol, UK - Born "ages ago" - Website
I play guitar and drums and am totally inspired by the drozd, wow what a talent ! Have seen the lips 4 times always been ace, Soft Bulletin (softly) rocks my world the most..xx

Number Fifty-Six - Simon - Toronto - Born June 14th, 82
Um, well, my appreciation for Steven is as a neo-psychedelic nerd, with a soft spot for country and pop. I've been a lips fan for a long time, saw them with 500,000 other people here in T.O. a few summers ago. Steven started to shine for me after seeing the Fearless Freaks, and hearing his work on the Okie Noodling soundtrack.

Number Fifty-Seven - Reiner Pabst - Boonton Township - Born June 19th, 84
I'm a 21 year old Lips fanatic. It all started the first time i watched a new show on MTV called 3rd South, which includes their hit Fight Test as the theme. From there I bought everything lips i could find. My absolute favorite album is got to be The Soft Bulletin, although Yoshimi was the album that started it all for me. But featuring such tracks as The Gash and Race for the Prize how couldn't it be your fav. This past summer of 05 I was supposed to go and see the guys at the All Good Festival, but god rest her soul my grandmother died. What can you do sometimes. The real topper was that all of my friends actually met Wayne, Steven, and Michael! But like I said what can you do sometimes. I love talking about the guys so feel free to hit me up, as long as its worth my while. ENJOY LIFE IT'S TOO SHORT!

Number Fifty-Eight - Tom - San Francisco - Born August 17th, 74
I'm a drummer, well, I'm a keyboard player now, in a semi-original prog-rock band called LLSD here in San Francisco. The Soft Bulletin finally pulled me in, I hated the Flaming Lips before that. All that sonic mess, I just wasn't ready. I bought and watched "Fearless Freaks" and I understand that they sucked for years, and those were the same years that I hated. Wayne and Steven found something, and they found something in me. That's all I care about. Yes found something and I found something in them, Komeda did the same thing, Rick James and The Fixx also belong to this for me. Oh, and Genesis at any point before 1985.

Number Fifty-Nine - Matt Hall - Norman, OK - Born September 15th, 82
steven drozd is a great musician and a nice guy, and i'm happy to appreciate him.

Number Sixty - Scott - Michigan - Born May 25th, 89
I'm 16, and I definitely dig the Lips. Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots really helped me through a tough time in my life, and therefore I'm pretty thankful. I haven't seen the Lips live yet, although the At War With The Mystics tour is hopefully coming around here. It's very good to hear that Steven is clean and doing well, because it would be a big loss to the world if we were to lose such a talented multi-instrumentalist, composer, arranger, and personality.

Number Sixty-One - Mason Neely - Philadelphia - Born April 20th, 79
I think the club is fantastic idea. I first saw the Lips at the Orpheum in Boston during the 2002 Beck tour and it was nothing short of life changing. I've seen them several times since, but that night continues to be a pretty defining moment. My favorite Lips record is a tie (cowardly, I know...) between Clouds Taste Metallic and The Soft Bulletin. Obviously Steven is musically a huge inspiration and for all practical purposes, the finest pop arranger/ multi-instrumentalist of our generation. Thanks for letting me geek out...

Number Sixty-Two - Ale - Chile - Born December 77 - Website
i am Ale and i like dogs and chocolate, also pop music. i have this band, les ondes martenot. We like the lips.We like them a lot. And i think steven is one of the most complete and creative musicians nowadays. My fav lips album is between the soft bulletin and yoshimi. Thatd be it. Oh, and i think Steve is damn hot.

Number Sixty-Three - Robbie - Miami - Website
Hi I'm robbie and I'm a definite hardcore fan of the flaming lips even though I don't have all their albums yet. I love music, watching movie upon movie and playing the guitar in my room, looking at larrycarlson.com , burning nuggets, checking out concerts with friends, and the like. You get the idea. Its pretty obvious that steve drozd and the flaming lips in general are geniuses of glass-breaking intensity.

Number Sixty-Five - Jeff - Saskatoon, Canada - Born February 21st, 83
I play drums so I really apprecieate Steve. He is really really good. The Lips are lucky to have him. Him and Ronald Jones we magic. Too bad Ronald left. Any hoo "Clouds Taste Metallic" is there best but then again I love all of there albums from Preist Driven Ambulance on(before that they were'nt so good). Never seen them live though too bad. peace

Number Sixty-Six - Brian Crabb - Santa Rosa, CA - Born October 16th, 83 - Website
So, I grew up in Chico Ca. I descovered the Flaming Lips in the summer of 2001. I was backpacking with my three older sisters through France and Spain. We stoped for three days at a music festival called "FIB" we were there to see Death Cab, Belle and Sebastian, and a few other bands. We were sitting around checking out some of the bands when the Flaming Lips were about to play. The Testing section came up with the guy on the screen with the headphones on, this was amazing in itself and we were hooked. The show blew us away, we had never seen a live show like this. The bouncing balls, the gong, Race for the Prize, fake blood...I loved it. I know live in Santa Rosa, and have seen the lips live twice since. I have come to Appreciate Steven because of his work on the Soft Bulletin, my favorite album of all time. I love learning FLips songs on the piano, and playing them to my friends. Its breath taking and beautiful, and I love it when they ask me who's song it is. I have yet to meet Steven in person, but I would love to get a picture with him at some point, I admire his talent. I just got ticktets to the show next month in San Francsico, and its going to be great...already excited. Thanks for reading. -Brian

Number Sixty-Seven - Dave (freep) Carrico - Brooklyn, NY - Born July 5th, 69
Seen the Lips live several times. Own a bunch of albums, got the new one off the Bored Dump. Got the dvd's, etc. My fav is Transmissions...yeah, I'll admit to that. I'm on the Bored as "daveffreep", and I always sign my posts as "freep", which makes Another Sham crazy!

Number Sixty-Eight - Mathew Aitken - London, England - Born September 30th, 83
Hello, my name is Mathew Aitken and I like The Flaming Lips not to mention the multi-talented Mr. Drozd. I feel it is of major importance to world peace that Steven is recognised by the youth of today as a true hero in not only the instrumental world but also the wider world of tolerance, love and understanding.

Number Sixty-Nine - Peter - Boston - Born October 2nd, 81
I like chili and other food stuffs, like cheese, as well as music and movies and art.

Number Seventy - Clair - England - Born April 13th, 83
I HAVE SEEN THE LIPS ON MANY OCCASIONS..MY FAVOURITE TIME WAS THE TIME I EVER SW THEM AT A FESTIVAL! IT WAS THE BEST GIG OF MY LIFE SO FAR!!!! THIS BAND CHAGED MY LIFE...UP UNTIL DISCOVERING THEM I HAD AN ADDICTION TO ALCHOHOL. I'M 22 NOW AND IVE BEEN CLEAN FOR 3 YEARS!

Number Seventy-One - Bob Mason - Columbus, OH - Born April 1st, 88 - Website
Hello, my name is bob, and i am a 17 year old from OHIO. In my free time i like to listen to Zaireeka mainly. I found one recording of the parking lot experiments (its bad quality mind u), and have almost all the flaming lips cds (even at war with the mystics). I like some hard baands as well, such as the Black Eyes, and Neon Blonde. If anyone likes saxapnone, check out James Chance and the Contortions, or Albert Alyer. Theyre my fav. 60's sax-rock. I try to keep it real, so if u think of anything which would help me do this (I.E. the david hasselhoff music video) or any bands, tell me. thanks

Number Seventy-Two - Jeff Hobson - PA - Born March, 84 - Website
I've seen the lips a few times, but never saw steven play drums. None the less they were awesome.

Number Seventy-Three - Ryan - New Hampshire - Born June 1st, 82
Flaming Lips are amazing, obviously, I've seen them thrice now, once in boston, once in maine, once at madison sq garden on new years (i wish wilco wasn't there). steven is my hero. i also play guitar/drums/keyboards/and other things and record music. He is the biggest inspiration to me since bob dylan, david bowie, the beatles, so on so on

Number Seventy-Four - Pete Oskar - Copenhagen - Born July 14th, 84
im totally into the flips' early-mid 90s era, with clouds taste metallic as the great masterpiece, but i surely enjoy the latter recordings and arrangements by mr. drozd, too. i cant wait until AWWTM is out, and may 3rd im gonna rock the boat with these awesome guys in this old amusement park called tivoli, somewhere in scandinavia... also, i play a lot of instrument, trying to take over as soon as the drozd needs sleep...

Number Seventy-Five - Kyle McLendon - Arcata, CA - Born November 1st, 81
Steve and the Lips are the greatest thing going on in music today. I can't think of a musician I admire more than Steven.

Number Seventy-Six - Louis - Saint Louis, MO - Born November 2nd, 81
I love drums and music and am a big fan of sevens music. Steven uses c and c drums from my home state of Missouri in Kansas City. I use a c and c custom snare drum. Ive only been privelaged to see the lips once in saint louis.

Number Seventy-Seven - kerist - Tennessee - Born November 13th
I like my favorite things...I have never seen the Lips in person but I have seen them on television. I would like to see them in person as I do not believe that they are only a few inches high, as my TV leads me to believe...My favorite album is whichever I am listening to at the time of typing the answer and that is, right now, The Soft Bulletin.

Number Seventy-Nine - Joni McMillan - Texas - Born July 3rd, 64
I have not seen the Lips live YET, but fully intend to as the opportunity presents itself. I'm friends with Steven's wife and her family and I think that he's a great guy, she loves him very much, and they both deserve all of the appreciation they can get.

Number Eighty - Simon Z - Melbourne, Australia - Born September 29th, 77
I've seen the flaming lips twice (they've only been to australia twice) once in the 90's when Ronald was still in the band, and once again a couple of years ago. I was watching the dvd the other day and they mention this site in the commentary, and I thought to myself that I should join because Steven deserves as much appreciation as possible, because he is the best. Favourite albums: Clouds Taste Mettallic and At War With The Mystics.

Number Eighty-One - Matt Crystal - San Jose, CA - Born September 16th, 86
my pancreas doesn't work.

Number Eighty-Two - Daniel Weintraub - College Park - Born December 20th, 83
Well, I am a 22 year old post college graduate without a path. i love the lips and have seen them 6 times, three in the last 2 months. i love all of the albums but my favorites are the soft bulletin and clouds taste metallic. the new stuff is amazing, i love that every album is different!

Number Eighty-Three - Patrick Laird - Madill, OK - Born November 3rd, 74
i am a high school art teacher with a wife and two kids. i was first turned on to the lips as were most by their single "she dont use jelly". i bought the single and no other lips material for 13 years. i was way too angry and into metal to buy any more. in hindsight, if i had gotten more into the lips i would probably have had fewer 'issues' during that 13 year span. after reading an article in oklahoma today about the lips i decided to give them another try and am hooked. i have about two thirds of their catalog as of now and will eventually have it all. if i had to pick one album i would go with 'at war with the mystics'. it just seems so complete to me. i have yet to see them live but it is on my things to do list. that is all.

Number Eighty-Four - Jim Woodend - East Lansing, MI - Born October 27th, 84
The Soft Bulletin changed my life and I am forever in debt to Steven Drozd's genius.

Number Eighty-Five - Marsantial - Liverpool - Born November 14th, 85
Favourite things would be music, comics(X-Men or anything 'X' related in particular) and football(soccer, I support Everton Football Club). Favourite bands include Super Furry Animals, Flaming Lips (obviously), Radiohead, Belle & Sebastian, Gorkys Zygotic Mynci, Grandaddy, that sorta thing!! Seen the Lips live just the once, will see them again very shortly though!

Number Eighty-Six - Bridget - Atlanta - Born October 9th, 87
When Wayne said at the start of the concert that it would change my life, I just laughed. But then, the balloons came down, "Race for the Prize" started, and I was proven completely wrong. Awesome show, awesome band. I don't really have a favorite record. I just keep them all in constant rotation so I don't have to make that decision. I also am an Irish dancer, runner, and journalist. But who cares the flaming lips fucking rock.

Number Eighty-Seven - Napoleon - Sheffield - Born January 16th, 85 - Website
servearly dyslexic don't expect much of the spelling or punctuation. I quite like artists moving forwards with sound. love the flaming lips.

Number Eighty-Eight - Stowawat - Mars. For Christmas.. - Born January 8th, 81 - Website
soft bulletin is my sponge cake. but all of their albums are in stratosphere of baked delights.

Number Eighty-Nine - Shawn Carter - Weston, FL - Born July 6th, 85
Im a big fan of Zaireeka era lips. I love "Captain", "Satellite of You" and my favorite, "If I go Mad". Steven inspired me to pick up the drums again and through that inspiration, my creativity has started to flow again. thanks

Number Ninety - Sam - Oklahoma City - Born October 8th, 84
Saw them at xingolati and it was the best time of my life. Going back next year and hope the lips do too.

Number Ninety-One - Beau Monnot - Millbrae, CA - Born November 19th, 84
do i really have to write about myself? can't someone else write about me? hi i'm beau, i'm 21 years old and i been a big fan of steven and his songs for quite some time now, not sure how long. i have seen the flaming lips twice and i have tickets to see them again in july. cool. yeah man, i'm way nuts over all of this.

Number Ninety-Two - James Newman - England - Born May 3rd, 89
Steven is cool.

Number Ninety-Three - Mike Espejo - Michigan - Born August 29th, 90
I'm Mike. I enjoy going to the zoo and driving boats. It is safe to say that listening to Clouds Taste Metallic changed my life. As for all the other Lips albums, they all have a special place in my heart. I'm hopefully going to see Steven, Wayne, Michael, and Kilph soon, at the Detroit State Theatre.

Number Ninety-Four - Mark - London - Born October 13th, 63
I am a huge Lips fan, got all their stuff and have seen them about a dozen times. Steve has been a main man for them for so long but is now even more so with his fantastic vocals. It is difficult to appreciate how good a guitarist he is unless you play a bit and see him live - but of course you all know this. I also love Sparklehorse which Steve has also been involved with. What a great idea this site is!!

Number Ninety-Five - Alex Hale - Birmingham, England - Born November 6th, 88 - Website
My name is Alex and my favourite thing in the entire world is The Flaming Lips. They achieved said position on my list after I was lucky enough to see them live on 24th April 2006, which has gone down in history as the best day of my life. I have no "favourite" album, but prefer all of the albums with Steven to the ones without him.

Number Ninety-Six - John Ronci - Warwick, RI - Born January 8th, 79
The Soft Bulletin did change my life and I had to become apart of this club because I don't fit in anywhere else anymore. The Flaming Lips are my favorite band and they make me happy no matter what is going on in my life everyday. Each record is like a best friend I call upon in these dark times I have been having and I feel the love and power through the music. Thanks for being here Steven and the great gal who started this club. I am glad drugs didn't destroy you Steven because if it destroyed you...it would destroy me. Thanks again, JOHNNY

Number Ninety-Seven - Christian Thomsen - Copenhagen, Denmark - Born January 23rd, 81
I've been a fan of the Lips for a long time now, but last night's concert in Copenhagen changed my view on making music for good. Steven was a one-man-army. I don't remember ever seeing one man make so much noise. A true musical genius!

Number Ninety-Eight - Alex - Pheonix - Born October 21st, 80
I have seem the Lips two times once at Bonaroo ( first and favorite) and Vegoose. I live in Tempe, AZ and they never come to these parts or I have not been paying attention, which is quite possible. I should probably do that? I have all the albums and fearless freaks. My favorite is either Transitions from the satellite heart or Yoshimi.

Number Ninety-Nine - Matt Allen - OKC, OK - Born October 6th, 80
I'm a law student in Oklahoma. In the last few years, I've started really getting into the FLips. The Soft Bulletin contains some of my favorite music I've ever heard. I recognize Drozd's contribution, and I think he's a pretty fuggin cool guy.

Number One Hundred - Saul Ulloa - Whittier, CA - Born June
Simply put, The Flaming Lips' music has hit me with as much force as a locomotive would have. My first introduction to the Lips was when I heard "Do You Realize??" I can honestly say that this has been the only song to touch me emotionally on two distict (or any) occations. The power that their songs are able to emmit is almost uncomprehendable. Now I show my appreciation to people who I care about by giving them a Lips' album as a gift.
