You're right, it was definitely unintentional weirdness.

Yeah, sorry about failing to mention that. I had noticed that you were riffing on the other list before.

Hi,

Sorry ... but that list is the biggest pile of trash I have ever seen ... the person putting it together obviously is upset that the "songs" are not formatted properly and are not a hit.

That list, actually, would fare better as a "progressive music" listing ... even if the idiot had never heard any of it, which I can not say he/she did at all ... "Dance of the Lemmings" is not weird, and the inside picture tells you all and the music stands out ... because it is not "based" on the "known" effects and formats used in radio and top of the pops ... and on top of it ... it makes fun at our own look at things ... opens a door, and all we can say is that it is weird ... and it isn't ... we intentionally STOPPED and closed the ability to learn and find out what it was all about. .... even more so, when "you" are not the pilot of the trip ... which is shown in the flaring out of the double LP inside cover.

It gets really sad when people think things are weird just because someone said so, not because they heard the albums!

I have heard and appreciated all the albums listed, and in fact, I have to look but I think I have 6 of them, maybe 7!



Mike (Silly Puppy) clearly came out with that list himself -- the one you should be directly addressing -- talking to rather than about. Calling him an idiot and making claims (the kinds of generalisations you often pull out) that I bet you cannot adequately support is not okay. I have issues with the list, partially because I think it would be better termed, 50 Albums I find Weird (rather than weirdest), but that doesn't mean that I would resort to name-calling or making unverified claims about the person. We have rules against insulting people and if that not being his list is not obvious to you, then you are not paying attention as he even said "Check out my 60 Weirdest albums list on RYM", which you edited out purposefully.

This is an official warning.


The reason it's called WEIRDEST ALBUMS is because it's a joke. It's a parody of MOJO magazine's top 50 weirdest albums except that i'm replacing the choices with my own and of course it's my OPINION.

If i were to do a "normal" list then of course i would say MY CHOICE FOR WEIRD ALBUMS but that's not very WEIRD, is it? Wink

Wow. I just heard this John ZOrn album for the first time today. This very well may be one of the weirdest albums i've EVER heard and that's saying a lot since i sniff out weird like dog treats.

"Orgasm" by Cro-Magnon from 1969 is definitely one of the weirdest albums ever.

Here an example track:

From the list, Comus. A little disappointed to not see any Residents (any of their albums would fit on this list and I would have included Not Available). White Noise was another I thought of, but it is not my list - just mentioning these titles for those who are looking for weird and don't know them. Clown

Another weird one for those of you interested in those listed in the poll would be the two Bubblemath albums. The first one particularly is incredibly weird when it comes to lyrical content. Disturbing as well. The second is probably a more consistent work overall, though the lyrics comment more on society. Either way, musically, quite adventurous and unexpected upon first or even second or third listen.

Hi,

Poor listing in my estimation, but I can't blame the OP for not knowing more material.

Some oddballs ... 

White Noise - Electric Storm in Hell
Brainticket - Cottonwood Hill
Ultima Spiaggia 
...
Heck, one could even add Aphrodite's Child 666 ... for one of the strangest albums that so many "progressives" can listen to past one cut! And to hear Irene Pappas ... well, she ain't no Madonna or Brittany or Taylor ... faking their excitement to teenagers that would not know the difference!

Out of this list, I would say Trout Mask Replica, but if it was up against the pre-Resident's WB album, I would put that one as the absolute weirdest album.

My favourite is not necessarily the weirdest, so hard to answer. I do love most of those albums. Favourites are Comus - First Utterance, Cardiacs - Sing to God, Dün - Eros, and Faust - s/t.

I'll give it to the mighty F.U. even though I don't think it's the weirdest of these despite being weird in its own unique way in the list. Cardiacs would be the band that gets the most playtime from me, and I love Sing to God. One of my most recent topics was a Dune poll, which was mostly an excuse to bring up Dün. Eros was an early fave album of mine when I was deeply diving into music listed at this site before I joined, and I have listened to it again in the last two weeks.
