You are right, weird is very subjective. Trout Mask Replica sounds very logical to me. I would have added works by Ligeti, Nurse With Wound, Diamanda Galas, Jandek, Current 93, Ryoji Ikeda, Stockhausen, lots of Outsider Music artists and such. Then again these may sound logical to others. Nice list btw
Hah I couldn't help notice Warning on the thumbnail. I low key consider that one of the original death/black metal bands. Except it was prog from the future before the basic shit was even invented lol. Cool list. I'm proud of how much of it I was previously aware of. But I don't know if I'd call Frizzle Fry a weird album. Try 'Riddles are Abound Tonight' by Les Claypool's other contemporary project to that, Sausage. I think that's way more experimental than anything Primus has ever done. Or Holy Mackerel is another wild Les sidecar band.
No Boredom's? Interesting, but I suppose it would be way too long a list if you included everyone that deserved to be here (though Mike Patton got to appear twice, but I won't complain about those inclusions. Love how many of these have been in my regular rotation since childhood.
Anima Sound : Sturmischer Himmel (1971) The Godz : Contact High (1966) Dom : Edge Of Time (1970) Spiral Joy Band : Elvehjem (2012) Brain Sound : An Attempt To Record Coincidence (1972?) Dharma Son Collective : Subliminal Messages From The Attic (2007) Holy Modal Rounders : The Moray Eels Eat The Holy Modal Rounders (1969) Sun Ra : Other Planes Of There (1966) Macula Kuru : s/t (2022) Anomalyensemble : Headcoasting (2010) ....sooooo many more
You could add “Lift Yr Skinny Fists Like Antennas To Heaven” by Godspeed You Black Emperor”, “Spiderland” by Slint, and maybe “Dub Housing” by Pere Ubu. Maybe.
Thank you for not including the sound of METAL MACHINE MUSIC on your video. I never wanted to hear even a second of it after I heard it for my one and only time when it was first released.

MAN I love that you added Area they are the best group in the italian prog scene and they are unknown outside of italy
34 Weird albums not made by the Residents.
Would like to see a list like this with more modern classical, early electronic and free jazz experimentation. A lot of that stuff is pretty weird.
Metal Machine Music is the one I was waiting for. Probably the most returned album ever. I see it was mentioned at the end.

Lou Reed double Trolled you and Metal Machine music is genius.
You could add “Lift Yr Skinny Fists Like Antennas To Heaven” by Godspeed You Black Emperor”, “Spiderland” by Slint, and maybe “Dub Housing” by Pere Ubu. Maybe.
Now I have so much more to check out
Thing fish, zappa.

Lou Reed only put it out because it was a Contractural Obligation for him so to do. He didn't 'believe' in it.
These aren't "Very weird".
Take a listen to Hanatarash or Gerogerogegege.
