Another Flaming Lips bump!
I know it's too much to hope they might have a rightward tilt--still with lyrics like this:

"...to fight is to defend. If not now then tell me when?"

and from what my son tells me, the band's music is sometimes called "pro-war" and threatened with being banned in Europe -- who knows?

Once you get used to the singer's quavering vocals it becomes quite endearing--give them a try:

Big Flaming Lips fan here...well, their last two LPs (The Soft Bulletin, Yoshimi). Their earlier stuff was a bit hard to take. Old-time Pink Floyd and Moody Blues fans would really dig The Soft Bulletin... it's like a prog classic.

I was at the Lollapalooza around '91, up in Saratoga NY.... Living Color (sucked), Ice-T's Body Count (awful), NIN (pretty good; wild performance, they were still fairly unknown), Siouxsie & the Banshees (don't remember), Jane's Addiction (just wanted to go home at that point).
