"AB/7A" from Throbbing Gristle's Third Annual Report: A calming electronic track that with a catchy melody reminiscent of "Reptilia" by the Strokes, put smack in the middle of a bunch of noise tracks about blood, death, burn victims, e-coli, being hit by a rock, and hatred of little girls.

I always thought the Clap was an oddball track...it's Howe doing John Fahey or Leo Kottke. For me it kind of ruins the flow of that album, though it's well done for what it is.
forgot to say that's on The Yes album.

The first that springs to mind is "Isolation Years" from Opeth's Ghost Reveries album. But oh my gosh am I glad they recorded that one! I've heard its inclusion is the only preventative factor keeping it from being a pure concept album, but and it definitely has a very different feel, but somehow, it just completes the experience so well. I couldn't imagine the album without it now.

Hi,
 
Roy Harper -- A few of these in various albums
Kevin Ayers -- Do we really need to hear him ....?
The Beatles -- Oh I forgot, you never heard the Christmas Shows or the Let It Be out-takes!
Ron Geesin -- Music from the Body ... well, it's crap compared to some of his other albums, which are much more entertaining and crazy.
 
Gosh ... I have to go to my record collection to list more of these ... though I always thought they were just fun and there was no meaning to it, other than ... they are just like us!
Music is not just for listening ... it is for LIVING ... you got to feel it to know what's it about! Not being told!

Always had a thing for the Spanish piece on Floyd's More. Those mad slurping vocals are a hoot!

I actually think that song is pretty awesome and fun.  Still my least fav album though and it definitely is an oddball.

The title track from Zappa’s “Sleep Dirt.” An honest-to-goodness slow, mellow acoustic guitar duet from Frank (the other guitarist is James “Bird Legs” Youman).
