Alice Cooper - can't remember the album name something like Prettys...I think it belonged to one of my mom's sisters for some reason I have it. Played it many years ago and thought weird.
 
 
 
I assume the Alice album was Pretties For You.  It was one of the first releases on Zappa's Straight Records label, along with the GTO's and Wildman Fisher.  That probably tells you all you need to know about it.
 
Yup...that's it! Now I just gotta find it....Its not in my "normal" LP boxes.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stange

Name

The municipality (originally the parish) is named after the old Stange farm (Old Norse: Stangir), since the first church was built there. The name is the plural form of stǫng which means "bar, pole, rod". (The farm is lying on a long hill, and this is probably the background for the name.)

one of the weirdest is the group Terence, with their one album "An Eye For An Ear" , which is a weird name for a record in the first place
         what is also odd, is that some songs are almost commonplace, and then you have the weird ones that take the cake
            this band was fronted by singer Terry Black

The United States of America-same (surprised it hasn't been mentioned).

Family-music from a doll's house (some of it anyway)

Rolling Stones-Their satanic majesties request (definitely not a typical stones album but it's their psychedelic masterpiece).

The Beatles-revolver (probably the weirdest beatles album)

Pink Floyd-Ummagumma

Genesis-from genesis to revelation (first time I heard it I thought it was really weird; I suppose compared to their other stuff it is or at least very different).

Frank Zappa-Lumpy Gravy (other than Ummagumma probably the weirdest sixties album I've heard).

John Lennon released three pretty far out albums in the late 60s -
Two Virgins, Live with the Lions and the Wedding Album
 
George Harrison's Wonderwall Music (1968) is also a bit out of left field.
 
others that come to mind -
 
The Edgar Broughton Band (Dawn Crept Away from Wasa Wasa comes to mind)
Walter Carlos - Switched on Bach and The Well Tempered Synthesizer
The Fugs - everthing they did
The Holy Modal Rounders - ditto
The Incredible String Band - heaps of albums all with weird folk music
Chicago - Free Form Guitar (on their first album)

I listened at some point to a couple of songs from a 1969 (or was it 68?) album from a band that sounded like proto black metal (if there ever was one}. I don't remember the name of the band though.

William R Strickland- is only the name (1969)
Incredible String Band- 'the 5000 spirits or the layers of an onion' and  'the hang-man's beautiful daughter' 
Also 'Music in a dolls house' by Family, one of the BEST  and oddest English lps of the 60's.. the were the quintessential 'Strange band'!!
