“Weird” to be interpreted at the reader’s discretion.
Looking for some cool new tunes.
I’ll get the ball rolling with one of mine: Scaretale by Nightwish. That song is all over the place… it’s like haunted fantasy carnival jingle metal. Love it.

My wife tells me I have “David Lynch taste in music,” and while that sounds like a compliment to me, she does not mean it to be one.
Kate Bush’s Suspended in Gaffa
Dresden Dolls’ Coin-Operated Boy
Here are several different types of weird. They’re not all on the same playlist.
Autechre - Second Bad Vilbel
Jan Böhmermann - Faschismus is Back
Adriano Celentano - Prisencolinensinainciusol
Too Many Zooz - Noda
Moon Hooch - Tubes, Number 9, Bari 3
Hiromi Uehara - Canon in D
2CELLOS - Thunderstruck
Captain Tractor - The Last Saskatchewan Pirate
The Arrogant Worms - Carrot Juice is Murder
Celentano isn’t being weird, though, he’s just proving a point
Autechre and Hiromi are awesome
Moon Hooch - Tubes, Number 9, Bari 3
Where’s Number 6?
I’m the Supervisor - Infected Mushroom
I honestly recommend everything from them if you’re looking for unique sound. The He.art album by Astrix also has some weird.
Enigma also has some great soundscapes. My personal favorite album is MCMX A.D.
Huun Huur Tu - Kombu
You guys aren’t that weird
This could be even weirder depending on your perspective
Huh, that’s a tough one. I have three whole playlists of increasingly weird stuff, so it’s hard to narrow it down to one. Maybe something by French TV or Henry Cow? I’ll have to listen through it later to find the stuff that barely counts as music.
Edit: yeah that’s a really tough one, I really like weird music. Here’s a sampler I guess, a few different varieties of “weird”:
Help, I’m a Rock - The West Coast Pop Art Experimental Band
Kissing Toads Again - Jan Two-Sleeves
The Secret Life of Walter Riddle - French TV
Lime Jelly Grass - Renaldo & The Loaf
The World Of Genius Hans - Moving Gelatine Plates
Adagio Ma Non Troppo - Charles Mingus
Musique Mecanique I - The Carla Bley Band
Lick My Decals Off Baby - Captain Beefheart & His Magic Band
I’ll Never Shed Another Tear - Stash Wyslouch
I’ve got a thing for avante-jazz.
If you’re into pirate shit lol
To the bar - Cooper Alan Rockstar sea shanty - Nickelback / lottery winners
4’33” best song ever!!
Van Morrison - Ring Worm
I love the story behind that album.
Just off the top
- AmonDüül II -Archangel’s Thunderbird
- Spooky Tooth - Something Got Into Your Life
- Toxic Reasons - Get Out the Gun
- The Pink Fairies - The Snake
Fuck, I’ve got so many weird ones that I can’t nearly shoehorn enough of them in here without writing a laundry list. If you want a band that’s done solid work top-to-bottom for decades though, take a look at the Melvins.
