What is your WEIRDEST musical interest? I like lots of WEIRD MUSIC, but am a huge CAPTAIN BEEFHEART and THE MAGIC BAND fan, and there are times (the best of times) when it just gets WEIRD:

Post YouTubes of your WEIRDEST musical interest...multiple YouTubes is okay, but let's post only ONE ARTIST AT A TIME until someone else posts, and then, post one at a time again and again as often as you care to, one artist at a time! :smile:
Performance artist Leigh Bowery's band.

I was really into them as a rebelling teenager, mainly due to their live shock value.

I think maybe I should have labeled this thread "Recommend WEIRD music"! I like everything posted... Circus reminded that I liked early DEAD OR ALIVE (not that hit they had) Crackers has educated me, and Lester gets the prize for making me seek out something I did not know: RENALDO AND THE LOAF. They're great!! Please keep posting WEIRD music! I like JOHN CALE, who gets WEIRD:

I love Pete Burns, but it's such a shame the way he has gone overboard with plastic surgery to the point where he can no longer sing. He looked gorgeous throughout the 80s, there never any need to mess around with his image. Plus, I really wish DOA hadn't moved so far away from their early indie/brit-pop sound. As much I love the SAW stuff, it wrecked their originality. I can't stand anything that was released after "
Nude".

Carl Stone - Shing Kee
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gsQ4UdJ-Vww
this is a very weird piece of music based on repeating a short loop of music ad infinitum, but adding a split second more to the loop each time. you need some patience to listen to it but if you do then once you get past the 2-3 minute mark it starts 'taking effect'. carl stone is a respected name in the avant garde music world and my younger brother was lucky enough to open for him when he did a show in london about 2 years ago

For some reason, I really like these catchy dance/techno/pop songs.
Does "Weird Al" Yankovic qualify as "Weird"? I mean, it's in his name, and he sings about food and Charles Nelson Reilly...so I'm assuming, yeah?

I don't know. My musical tastes are pretty eclectic, but also relatively mainstream (in one decade or another). In terms of being unusual for me, and just weird in general, maybe Grace Jones.

No youtube for this, but it may be the weirdest/most obscure thing I listen to regularly.
Daniel Biro's "The Comparative Anatomy of Angels." Sample (http://www.amazon.com/gp/dmusic/media/sample.m3u/ref=dm_dp_trk1/186-3604922-4822517?ie=UTF8&catalogItemType=track&ASIN=B001H5ZZL6). It's part of a three piece song cycle.

I like 1970s "Commercial" European Disco music. The lyrics are usually a bit awkward (sometimes with noticeable accent) and the music is on the cheesy side no doubt. Doesn't make it Yoko Ono or Laurie Anderson (sp?) weird but still kinda odd.

as much as I do like their stuff, some of the artists posted like Neds Atomic Dustbin, Therapy?, Beck, are as far from 'weird' as you can get IMO. all got daytime radio plays back when they came out, got in the charts etc... they would fall quite easily under the banner 'alternative rock'?

BECK's "New Pollution" ain't WEIRD; you're right.

Sun Ra - only can take him in small doses, though.
I definitely think Look People are the weirdest band I like (at least of those I'm familiar with)...I don't know if everyone agrees but I think this band (NoMeansNo) is a bit strange...yet I love this song!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NYgZB4szxxg
I like NoMeansNo. they are pretty off-the-wall for a punk band
have some Stock Hausen + Walkman

My music library is full of bizarre music. I don't really think a lot of it is good. Most of it is one-off stuff by casualties of music.
Here's one lady I do like. Diamanda Galas. A supremely talented singer who is almost completely off her knocker. Well, that's unfair, but she is committed to the avant-garde.
Actually, I don't really care for most of her song-stylings, but every once in a while I'll hear something she does which blows me out of the water, and she's plenty weird.
Take this song, which I think is amazing:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9T29Lqpi2RQ
The video's kind of silly, but that song is amazing.
I don't own any of their records yet but Henry Cow can get pretty weird (and awesome) for some folks. If you dig jazz and 20th Century Classical music you might find them interesting:

Everyone knows Pink Floyd has some pretty odd music, but when Syd Barrett was with the band it was on a whole different of weird.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5tjFhHx_q9o
I mentioned that a lot of songs I've found are by people who are not really musicians. So it really makes me happy when I find things that are completely wrong-headed.
This next song deals with a subject that not too many people find a middle ground on. I don't want to spoil it if you haven't heard it, just listen.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KfxFbWo_DH4
That song could clear a room in seconds flat.
What I love about that song is that the singer was completely serious. It just isn't right on so many levels.
Kind of a weird musical interest, but also the same reason I get so much enjoyment out of bad movies.
If you think I'm being flippant, I know a girl who has the text of this song as a picture on her wall.

Mr. Bungle.
I hesitate to mention them, because they were fairly popular during their brief stint of existence.
They were kind of like Frank Zappa in his heyday, marshaling some very talented musicians to make music that was manifestly ugly.
They started out with this carnival burlesque style:

The stuff I really like was their later experimentation:
