And by "weirdest" I mean a work so outlandish and bizarre that you just couldn't believe what you were hearing at the time. Mine is definitely Area's "Caution Radiation Area". https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Au6XBZ86tOE I guess you've read my review about this album. It's fully explained and it will not be weird anymore once you've understood my explanations. Thanks for the substancial  check to come in the mail ==================== Otherwise, from Zappa, only Gravy is "weird", the rest is bizarre or silly. .

Anything by Samla Mammas Manna

Gong - You ..is often described as weird. Perhaps the zany bits, the spacey more ambient sections with Gilli Smyth whispering Diana, and the flow of the album with one odd sounding piece into the next affects a number of people in that way.


Ron Geesin- Right Through ...Oddball ideas throughout the album may place it in the "music from the other side of the fence category.


Mort Garson- Black Mass/Lucifer....The music captures the vibe of the dark, mysterious, ritualistic side to the occult brilliantly. Even though it's synthesizer in 1971 ...it moves forward with the on going vibe of the supernatural throughout during the progression of the album's themes.


The Residents- Mark Of The Mole...The story enhanced by the music comes across oddballish..although they have been termed as Avant-garde...it's actually their own formula producing a certain style and sound within certain boundaries of experimental Avant-garde..perhaps not unlike Ron Geesin in a sense.


Jeff Grienke- Timbral Planes...An Electronic artist who was subjected to industrial sounds for years living in Western Pennsylvania and developing the affect of it through Electronic Music..


Throbbing Gristle- In The Shadow Of The Sun...This is from the same swamp in hell as Timbral Planes , but less constructed and more like improvised noise and definitely ritualistic. The guitar sounds like a vacuum cleaner and the keyboards are hellish. It's not musical at all. The voices which moan, weep, chant, and scream provide a 2 second delay /echo ..which causes the voices to sound off in the distance which has amazing similarities to the sound of a cult performing a ritual in the woods

Their album "his name is nnnnnn"(even the title is stranage) isn't annoyingly weird or disturbing it's more like weird in a fun way but I it's definitely stranger than most bands in that style(instrumental symph prog?).
