The entirety of The Nihilist Spasm Band's No Record, and the entirety of the only record from Cromagnon.

The former is also very, very awesome.

You're right. I'd define it as 'masterpiece'. It's Roger Waters magnum opus.

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.

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.

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!

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

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.

Back in the day, we had weird music you young whippersnappers could never understand because you lack the musical intelligence I have. Now I am not going to share any of the weird music I know because it is way to progressive for this site and I think you just are not ready for it. No matter what the topic I got information only I know but I just do not think you are ready to hear about it because only I know this information and if I told you the information you might think you know it. So see whippersnappers you must stay in the dark and every now and again I will send a little light from back in the day.

I'd say that some of those free-form Jazz albums from Elton Dean are quite weird.
Also when Soft Machine lapse into free-form, it's plain weird.
Split Enz - Under The Wheel - try that on for weirdness .
Kajagoogoo - Freyo ; just bizarre.

It may be weird, but damn it's one of the greatest albums of all time.

Henry Kaiser - Moose and Salmon; the whole album really. I transferred the album to CD without notating the individual track listings, and it's obscure enough that the internet doesn't help. It has lots of strange guitar sounds.

Surprised to that this tune hasn't been mentioned yet:

One of the most insane tunes I've ever come across and  it's absolutely brilliant. Geinoh Yamashirogumi i9s nothing short of a genius.

So, weird and great: Can - Tago Mago and Soundtracks; Gong - Flying Teapot and Camembert Electrique; Magma - Mekanik Destruktiw Kommandoh.
I'm not actually fan of these, at least at the current moment, but it's rly weird and interesting stuff - Soft Machine - 3 first albums, Amon Duul II - Yeti, Tanz der Lemminge

Is this the same song as Art Garfunkel's I Only Have Eyes For You?

Scott Walker - Corps De Blah from the album "Bish Bosch"

Real human farting starts at 3.10! A weird aural feast ......lyrics are just as weird.

Somehow I love it though.



If you like that, then try another track from the same album, the 21.43 minute "SDSS14+13B (Zercon, A Flagpole Sitter)" it's probably even weirder!

The Art Garfunkel version is a cover of the Flamingo's hit in 1950s (although the song is much older than that). I don't know which band Red is referring to, but the song has been covered numerous times:

Good call, that is quite possibly the weirdest album ever.

Thanks, 'Elf. The Flamingos' version is probably the one that I found so haunting as a child, and now I look forward to acquiring it.

Wanted to mention that too. My younger brother played this album once to me. Once was also enough for me ;-)

Schoenberg - Pierrot Lunaire (any of it and all of it)

I also thought of this one. It was the first time I heard sprechstimme vocal. 
Also:
Zappa - G-spot Tornado ... and many others.

Captain Beefheart - Trout Mask Replica

Some songs of guitarists Steve Vai and Ron Thal are also weird.

The Residents, Laurie Anderson, John Zorn - I can't remember any song title

I bought this album and played it one time.  I think that says it all...

The album Volume 1 by Fear of Pop was pretty weird, especially considering that it was made by Ben Folds. And anytime William Shatner is involved with music it's bound to be weird. Not the strangest but I think it's worth a mention at least.

Arc - Neil Young - the whole mini-album. Love feedback in the right places, but waited for something to happen and it never really did. My first experience of Mr Young's diverse style, just as I was getting into the Crazy Horse stuff. Played once........

Dun-Eros-Bittono

Samla Mammas Manna-Maltid-Dundrets Frojder

Comus-First Utterance-The Herald

Gentle Giant-In A Glass House-An Inmates Lullaby

These are definitely the weirdest songs I have ever heard.

Steve Vai's "Flex-Able Leftovers" has a couple of good ones on it. Also, "When I Was A Little Boy" from the Fire Garden album.
