English Muffin Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 One of my favourite pastimes is listening to crazy/random/trippy music because, lets be honest, it is the best music out there However my play lists only comprise of a few groups such as; " Several Species Of Small Furry Animals Gathered Together In A Cave Grooving With A Pict Pink Floyd Wild Honey Pie The Beatles Careful With That Axe, Eugene Pink Floyd Cirrus Minor Pink Floyd Sysyphus Part One Pink Floyd Sysyphus Part Two Pink Floyd Sysyphus Part Three Pink Floyd Sysyphus Part Four Pink Floyd Corrosion In The Pink Room Pink Floyd The Grand Vizier's Garden Party ( Entertainment) Pink Floyd Revolution 9 The Beatles " and many more... So please help me collect the biggest collection of crazy shit that there is, it would be much appreciated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drbirdsong Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 "Mother" - The Police It is the worst thing they ever recorded, but it is indeed crazy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tommy Sawyer Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 The Wall. ... oh I thought you said crappy.... ANYWAYS, try some stuff by Gong. They're a Canterbury/Space Prog band from France, I believe. You and Angel's Egg are the albums I've heard and there is some pretty trippy stuff.

ozzy85 Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 Mr. Bungle. They're a wackier offshoot of Faith No More for those who think FNM isn't crazy enough. Capable of several time signature changes/genre changes within one song. Some crude or surreal humor and vocal histrionics. Only three albums of them, but they'll keep you busy for a bit.

apetersvt Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 Certainly crazy and trippy: Live Grateful Dead from mid '68 through the end of '69. Best trippy songs: Dark Star The Other One Viola Lee Blues The Eleven Death Don't Have No Mercy Caution The official releases from this time frame include: Live Dead 2 From The Vault (my favorite) Live At Fillmore East 2-11-69 Dicks Picks 16 Dicks Picks 26 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Imaginos Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 Anything by Gong or Magma. Also there's plenty of weird sh*t to be found in Hawkwind's catalog as well as that of Van Der Graaf Generator. If you're looking for a funky freak-out you could try "Cottonwoodhill" by BrainTicket.

invisible airwave Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 The Cure - Basically anything off their 1984 album, The Top, but especially Bananafishbones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good,bad,andrush Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 I second Mars Volta and VdGG. Seriously. Try Roulette Dares by TMV and then Man-Erg by VdGG. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ozzy85 Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 QUOTE (Enemy Within 77 @ Jan 18 2012, 11:15 PM) Butthole Surfers - Locust Abortion Technician Melvins - Prick Melvins - Honky Melvins - Stag Agreed on all four counts. '90's Melvins were heavy and metallic as well as prone to complete sound expirementation. Try to make sense of Spread Eagle Beagle, or just play it for your friends and see if they can deal with it... Also check out their album the Maggot. They had an album just titled Melvins (it was titled Lysol, but said company had a problem with that) that has only one song. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The first album is rather manic all the way through, in a early RHCP, funk-jazz sorta way. California is probably the easiest to listen to, and Disco Volante is... f-ing weird. Oh, and check out the side-long Fire Suite by the Crazy World of Arthur Brown. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A buddy of mine likes the more "normal" Melvins, I'm a little biased because I think it's all great. Lysol is one of their best and heavy as f**k! Love the fact that it's only 1 track too- those Alice Cooper covers are awesome on it. If you've never seen them live you need to. One of the tightest bands I've seen. The Maggot rules! Hostile Ambient Takeover is one of their later masterpieces in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
