Comus — First Utterance
Probably the weirdest great rock album ever made.
Honourable mentions:
The Fugs — First
Captain Beefheart's Magic Band — Trout Mask Replica
Pink Floyd — The Piper at the Gates of Dawn
Ted Hawkins — Watch Your Step
Nick Drake— Pink Moon
Robert Wyatt — Rock Bottom
Can — Tago Mago
Girls Together Outrageously — Self Titled (?)
Sundry Roy Harper and Holy Modal Rounders releases.
All of the honourable mentions except Hawkins, Wyatt and perhaps Drake lose points for trying too hard. Hawkins and Wyatt just aren't weird enough to compete with Comus. Girls Together Outrageously lose points both for trying too hard and for not being weird enough.

Strange and gorgeous aural mystery, April 23, 2007
I'm an unlikely admirer of this record. 51 years old. Taking Lipitor. Bifocals. But, I've spent the last two years or so listening to this CD at least once a week. It's also an unlikely CD to admire. Perfectly reasonable people with refined tastes can be bewildered, even frightened by it. It breaks most of the rules that are supposed to apply to rock music. Brian Eno famously referred to the "vagueness" of the music and that's dead right. But, all I can say is that it magically finds some system in my brain that I have in common with lizards and plays it like a cheap guitar. It's wonderful.
