I agree that Tool is very different..I would hesitate to call them weird but they have been a favorite of mine since junior high (25 years ago) so maybe I'm used to them and that's why they don't sound weird. My dad's favorite band is The Doors...they are kinda weird...but there again I grew up with it so it just sounds normal to me

I don't listen to metal as much as I used to but I love Tool and their first 3 albums are among my favorites of any genre. I don't think they're weird in a bad way but they are definitely unique and different.

 

I'm not a big fan but I would put Radiohead in the weird category as well.

Modern Day, I would add System of a Down to this list, different and refreshing is what I would use to describe S.O.D.

I love System of a Down Toxicity is a great album.

WHAT ABOUT THE KINGS OF WEIRD PRIMUS!!!!

I believe The Flaming Lips have a valid claim to that title as well.

 

King Crimson is definitely strange.

 

Modern day, check out Between the Buried and Me.  They'll go from blast beat death metal to polka, back to more death metal, and then into something I'd describe as akin to elevator music.  And that may be just a 2 minute slice of a 13 minute song.

 

Anyone remember Green Jello?  They were weird.

 

Edit: I'm adding The Mars Volta.  I love them, but they're a little too off the wall for some people.

Absolutely love L'Via L'Viaquez, but I had trouble getting into much else from them....I recognize the talent and appreciate what they did...just couldn't grab me like that first song I heard by them.

Try the Octohedron album.  There's quite a variety of sounds on that album.  For me, this one is pretty close to 'all killer, no filler' status.

Anyone remember Fish Heads by Barnes and Barnes

My favorite too! I have the Doors logo tattooed on my right forearm. My 12-year old grandson heard "Hyacinth House" the other day and thought it sounded pretty weird. I think he's weird......

 

For something different sounding for your girlfriend how about Type O Negative's October Rust album?

Hyacinth house, one of my favorite doors songs. LA woman is an incredible album.

LA woman is great..I bet I've heard that album all the way thru at least 100 times growing up. On cassette in my dad's old S-10 driving across country on our many moving trips. I've always been very partial to Crystal ship for some reason.

You do know crystal ship is not on la woman?

Yes it's on the first album I believe. I wrote that kinda weird I guess. Was just saying that's one of my favorite doors songs.

I love me some Texas Radio and the Big Beep (The Wasp). But gotta be careful who overhears that nowadays!

A lot of Tom Waits music can be a bit weird.

That song contains my all-time favorite Jim Morrison lyric:

 

"No eternal reward will forgive us now for wasting the dawn"

That's a true statement...I dig it tho
