Weirdest music you like?

[pure_mercury]

Given my reputation as a music snob/dork, I like a lot of straight-up pop stuff, like Roxette and Hanson. What are the corniest/weirdest/goofiest groups or songs you like?

Anne Clark
Drives everyone else in this house (including the dog) mad.

 

[miss fortune]

Russian ska, psychobilly and horror punk!

(oooh! and gypsy punk! )

and I should probably add the Suicide Machines and NOFX onto that list

 

[cascadeco]

Dead Can Dance and Lisa Gerrard?

I love both...but imagine most would think they are weird or too hippie/new-agey!!

I just saw Gogol Bordello on Saturday, and it was a great show. I took a rather nasty elbow to the forehead, though, and retired to the bar area after that.

I enjoy their stuff. You know who is a weird big Dead Can Dance fan? Michael "Kramer" Richards. Maybe not the best vocal supporter of an artist nowadays, but interesting nonetheless.

I think most of my music would be considered weird to the general population.

Gogol Bordello is awesome- in fact I have a deep love of all of the bands on the Everything is Illuminated soundtrack (though eerily enough I had them all before I'd even heard of the movie )

and punk covers of old classics will always fall close to my heart I love you Me First and the Gimme Gimmes!

 

[scantilyclad]

The Vandals!
i also like wizard rock, because its funny, so i listen to a lot of Harry and the Potters and Draco and the Malfoys.
I also enjoy The dresden dolls, the mars volta, and richard cheese.

Richard Cheese does good stuff. I especially like the "She Hates Me" cover.

 

[Nocapszy]

grindcore is kind of weird.

I don't really get most of it though.

I got to meet Elijah Wood when I was in L.A. I don't know if he is still dating Pamela Racine, but I ran into him. He has pretty good taste in music, too. I also knew of Gogol Bordello before the movie. I should probably Netflix that, because I didn't catch it in the theater.

This is a hard one. I listen to quite a lot rather odd music, but I don't think it's very weird, but I am sure people especially listening to a lot of mainstream music would find it weird. Anyhow, I am going to make a suggestion and say Orphaned Land, which is progressive metal with heavy Middle East folk music influences. Their Mabool album is ingenious. <3

Sounds pretty interesting. I will check them out.

 

[Ender]

Mine currently would have to be Krypteria - You and I

It's a weird Gothic Rock/Opera/Whatever Duet Breakup song.

 

[Falcarius]

Weirdest music, that will have to be 'Mr. Bungle' or 'Animal Collective'.

 

[The Ü™]

Aqua's "Barbie Girl" is strangely addicting.

That song isn't too bad. "Jellyhead" by Crush gets me more than Aqua does, though. Motiv8's Pumphouse mix, naturally.

 

[Metamorphosis]

Most music I listen to is probably weird. But here are some examples.

Sick Fuck (Sadist Version) - Unter Null

Rammstein & T.a.t.u.

Amon Amarth - Runes To My Memory

E Nomine - Das Boese

Eisbrecher - Schwarze Witwe

My screamy metal/hardcore punk. Not really that weird to the younger generation I guess but to a lot of people that are just used to the top 40 count down, my stuff might seem odd.

MySpace.com - alloutwar - California - Breakcore - www.myspace.com/alloutwarz (not the band's myspace but a page I made to host their songs)

Listen to those and tell me if it seems CRAY-ZEEEEEE
