Mine seem to change every month because I listen to a bunch of weird music. Right now I'd go with:
Art Zoyd- Haxan (with video)
Peculate- The Chain Industry (way better than Native Construct and way weirder) Pryapisme- Hyperblast Supercollider Atrorum- structurae Sleepytime Gorilla Museum- In Glorious Times (but seriously they have zero bad albums holy cow they will always be on my list of favorite weird bands)

Great pick! Do you know their first album, Rococo Holocaust? I find it just as good and a bit more strange, if anything.

Henry Cow.....not weird as much as "out there" Zappa and Beefheart.....in tandem or on their own Magma.....that whole language thing is weirdly other worldly the Ozrics.....again, not as much weird as "out there" Gong and the extended family.....weirdly wonderful Arthur Brown Haven't heard Pyapisme.....where are they from?

Love Primus and Sleepytime Gorilla Museum. I just wanted to add one album:
Spiral Architect - A Sceptic's Universe (One of my top 5 albums for real)

For bands not already mentioned I'll give it to:
Island - A Swiss band whose sole album, "Pictures", makes Gentle Giant look like bubblegum pop.
Centipede - A 50-piece avant-garde jazz ensemble headed by Keith Tippet and closely associated with King Crimson and many Canterbury Scene bands.

"Weird" is a strange word and doesn't really ring with me. For me it would be a list of 5 bands that are so out of the box to be completely original and unique.
Magma - Udu Wudu Devil Doll - Eliogabalus Henry Cow - In Praise of Learning Island - Pictures Univers Zero - UZED
