Existing comfortably outside the lines of convention since their debut in the late '60s, avant-garde art rockers the Residents have earned both darts and laurels for their complex, conceptual music and bizarre stage personas. Despite their delight in skewering pop-culture icons, the music's oblique criticism of Western imperialism, and their iconic disguise of eyeball helmets, top hats, and tuxedos, the band never lapsed into gimmickry. With surrealistic lyrics and broad, theatrical arrangements that move from thrillingly subversive to frolicking and warped, the Residents are as much an experience as they are a band.
