Peter Grudzien - The Unicorn. This is what I would call bizarre, but is has sucked me in over the years...

The weirdest ones I can think of right now is The Waiting Room and Silent Sorrow In Empty Boats, both by Genesis.

Sadly not a prog band, but undoubtedly a more bizarre performance than almost any other I have ever seen....

.....and this was an entry for Eurovision Song Contest! Big smile



And here's what they're like backwards

In b4 rants about the word darkness in music.

Koenjihyyakkei - pretty weird to me

But if we are just going for absolute weirdest bands... I know TONS of unlistenable insane weird things. But many of them are not worth discussing. Weird to be weird is not always good.

I'm into good weird though. :)

Jan Dukes de Grey is a tame version of Comus, to my ears. Ummagamma by Floyd has some bizarre stuff on it. I usually don't look for weirdness as much as darkness, but Magma has both so they're the epitome for me Heart

Since no one mentioned before... Jan Dukes De Grey.



I don't think they're really bizarre but some people may think. IMO they're hugely Progressive!

Except a few exceptions such as The Residents I guess I don't consider most R.I.O (Avant or Zeuhl) to be as weird and bizarre as some of you do. I find it dark and twisted.

Japan:

After Dinner - both their albums are as weird as they are stunning
Wha-Ha-Ha - more or less the same as After Dinner
Karuna Khyal - Alomoni 1985
Masahiko Satih and the Soundbreakers - Amalgamation

elsewhere:

Dedalus - Materiale Per Tre E Nastro Magnetico
Robert Wyatt - End of an Ear 
Horrific Child - L'Etrange Mr. Whinster
Faust - St

...there's so much more, but I just can't remember right now

Anyway the winner has to be Styx - Kilroy Was Here - by far the most bizarre performance I've ever seen.

King Crimson? Really?

I think the op is shooting for stuff that makes KC look like Beyonce. Something that would make Kanye West soil his knickers rather than steal a sample.

I've come to regard KC not really as weird, just a bit edgy and intense 
I'd agree with that - weird in this context could be defined as "different to the point of making no sense and losing viability". KC have made a lot of unusual music, but none of their work could be called "experimentation for the sake of experimentation". You can always see more or less clearly where they come from, and where they were going in each album.

the music I hear being called weird I think of as 'experimental'

to me - weird is when a band does something completely out of character -  a direction I didn't see coming (even if I should have)
 
Queen's 'the game' is weird to me.
I know why it went in that direction but it's a 180 to what I grew up with

I've come to regard KC not really as weird, just a bit edgy and intense. Even their more dark material is quite accessable compared to the likes of Magma or Henry Cow..

It's all relative of course, I suspect non prog fans would consider parts of Wind & Wuthering weird and bizarre..
Ultimately bored by endless ecstasy!
