Obviously, nobody can have your depth. Nobody can possibly get your reference. Except, of course, anyone who has ever listened to the nationally syndicated Dr. Demento radio show, which ran for nearly 20 years in every major market in the U.S.

to take the place of the mud shark in your mythology...

Looking to derail another thread? "in this town" we call that trolling. We get it.......you think you are better than us. We don't agree.

Thank you kindly.  Second Hand and Seventh Wave are favourites.
Another odd one is what I'm listening to now:
Laszlo Hortobagyi- Suma Technologiae. 
 
All these sounded great on the air.  Thank you again.

Under the "weird" heading but not necessarily messed up I'd put:

Ron Geesin - Music from the Body
Harry Partch - Delusion of the Fury

Love them both!
Thank you for supporting independently produced music

Is it good wierd, or just wierd? Tongue

the way you spell 'weird' is weird .....
Good weird - Diamanda Galas. Outrageously odd, but fascinating at the same time.
Makes VDGG and Art Bears sound 'normal'

I would say Alice Cooper's "Dead Babies" from Killer in 1972, but at the time it was released, I can't as a teen recall a song directly about necrophilia like on "I Love the Dead" from Billion Dollar Babies in 1973:
 
I love the dead before they rise
No farewells, no goodbyes
I never even knew your now rotting face
While friends and lovers mourn your silly grave
I have other uses for you, darling
 
It may seem like nothing now, but in '73 the weirdness quotient was quite high. You'd get albums like that confiscated at school. It happened to me with the School's Out album. Damn nun never gave it back.


Agree with these.
How about 'Lay Down and Die Goodbye.' from the Alice Cooper album 'Easy Action'? That struck a chord with me years ago...
Allomerus. Music with progressive intent.

Truly odd music Tom, her voice sounds like a wounded dog, an angry cat, a rooster on drugs and a crazy goat... simultaneously LOL Great work from JPJ there, groovy as always Cool

As an adult, nothing is really weird to me, music wise. Songs seemed much stranger and darker to me as a young child, though. One such example is Can't Get Used to Losing You. Eerie as all get out when it first came out. I still would rather not sit though it even today. I Only Have Eyes For You is another that used to somehow frighten me when I was a mere toddler. Unsettling.

I find the Police's Tea in the Sahara incredibly unsettling, to the extent of provoking nightmares. 
 
For out-and-out lunacy, I always enjoy the totally wtf ambiance of MacArthur Park, especially as sung by Richard Harris. I don't know what drugs the lyricist was on when he wrote it, but I suspect something very psychedelic.

And that was from one of their "mainstream" albums.  For true weirdness, dig back through albums like  Hairway To Steven and Psychic... Powerless... Another Mans Sac.

Also check out their homeboys Crust, who played the same kinda stuff only a little more dark and disturbing.
