Shock horror.
 
Never felt the need to buy Beatles stuff, it was played ad nauseum on the radio when I was growing up. I didn't, and still don't, like Hendrix's guitar playing, or vocals (same goes for Clapton). I recognize both their places in the scheme of things though.




I totally get that. :)

Trout Mask Replica is an abrasively strange record. You can clear a room every time by putting that on the turntable.

It is good though! I haven't looked yet but I wonder if The Incredible String Band is on there. You can clear a room with them too. Some of the Monks Of Doom records are an acquired taste, very good but very strange at first. Going to take a look.
OK, I like Ascension a lot. I never imagined Sgt Peppers or Axis as weird albums. I had forgotten about Skip Spence, I might have to check that out.
 
How about a weird video? Cyriak: Malfunction...   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tnWP2Emps1M&list=UU9Ntx-EF3LzKY1nQ5rTUP2g My favorite weird video.

Weird stuff in my collection:
 
 
Delirium Cordia by Fantomas
Everything by Mr. Bungle (California being one of my favorite records ever)
 
As a matter of fact, pretty much everything by Mike Patton - his solo albums and his work with John Zorn take the palm though.
 
Speaking of John Zorn - IAO... Spooky weirds stuff.
 
Alice Cooper's Dada... Though, come to think of it,  Pretties for You and Easy Action probably outweird it.
 
Nine Inch Nails, Fixed. Even for NIN, that's weird.

Back when I was 21 I had a couple of friends who hated Frank Zappa with a vengeance. Every now and then they would come over to my apartment and outstay their welcome, and all I had to do was put "Absolutely Free" on loud and not say a single word. Nobody said anything, but we all knew what that album meant. And they'd do their level best to endure it as if to say "screw you, we're not going anywhere" but you could guarantee they'd be saying their goodbyes before the end of Call Any Vegetable. Which is a shame, because I think they probably would have liked Suzy Creamcheese.

Weirdly enough I had one of my best friends from college staying with us this weekend as he was contributing a painting and a bunch of prints of same to our alma mater to establish a scholarship endowment. It was like we'd never even been apart and picked up right where we left off. Totally fab. He is pretty well known in the art world...which makes the music biz look like an afternoon tea party by comparison. He told me of the time he happened to meet the Captain (Don Van Vliet) on the streets of NYC and told him that Trout Mask Replica was one of his favorite albums (mine too) and that he listened to it all the time. "You do?", said Don, "and how's that workin out for you?"

Gotta love him.

Ice Cream For Crow is still my favorite though.

I'm not sure if Maggot Brain is even the weirdest Funkadelic album. From a group that had members perform on stage diapers and gave us a singing underwater worms and song titles like promental****backwashpsychosisenemasquad, I guessbyou have to just had one album and roll with it.
