The most bizarre thing Ive ever listen to (not necesssarily liked , just heard ) is Tuvan "throat singing". Tuva is a little country between Russia, and outer Mongolia, inhabited by Mongol-type nomadic tribesmen who do a distinctive musical thing of singing several notes at a time straight from their throats. Professional musicians (like Mickey Hart) find it fascinating. To me it just sounds like they have frogs in their throats.


It's not just Tuvan, it's typical of Central Asian and Tunguskic peoples. A few bands mix it up with Contemoprary Metal where it works quite well

Yat Kha (Respublika Tuva) doing a song that was probably around when they were part of the Mongol Hoards:



Hanggai (Inner Mongolia, China)



Tenger Cavalry,(Beijing/NYC)

I listen to some out there music but I wouldn't call it eccentric or Bizarre.

This isn't exactly bizarre or eccentric, but I think no one would expect someone my age to listen to Richard Wagner. But I rarely listen to music.

Well I listen to pretty much all types of metal and some of that is rather eccentric...but aside from that I suppose folk music specifically Wardruna and a the solo project of the lead musician of korpiklaani called Jonne I am likely to look more into this sort of thing. Of course folk metal is weird to some people, but without the metal its just as intriguing at least I think so...I also find various instruments interesting so bands that use lots of different kinds are enjoyable for me.

This is par for the course for me but it would probably do a lot of people's heads in.

Some examples of things I listen to people may find unusual.

I like those ironically bad Youtube remixes and mashups, like Spongeloid:



I'm also pretty addicted to We Are Number One remixes, this one's my favorite:



Also some random mashups:

I listen to a lot of opera. Most people are not subtle about their thinking that that's weird. I certainly don't think so.

I really love Outsider Music. Artists like

Daniel Johnston
Wesley Willis
Jandek
Wild Man Fischer
The Shaggs

s**t like that. Artists who really don't have musical talent but are earnest and honest in their art form and just like making music because they like making it, regardless of their lack of musical skill.
