Have you any artist that you love that no one else you know seems to like?

I've showed some John Frusciante solo stuff to my friends and they all think he's an absolute weirdo (of course they all love his Chilis stuff :P), while I think he's an absolute genius, if there was ever someone I really look up to it's him.

I just think he's amazing

Yeah I like his solo works too, well most of it anyways. I'd say some of the music that I listen that I listen to that would be considered strange would be artists like Coil, Current 93 and Swans.

Boredoms and Butthole Surfers would be as weird as it gets in my music collection.

Listen to this and imagine yourself moving around rapidly inside some fucked-up video game surrounded by vivid colours.

I don't know what the inspiration behind this song was, but I'd imagine it involved large quantities of LSD.

This could turn into one big obscure name dropping thread!

Not exactly obscure but the strangest artist in my collection has to be Captain Beefheart. Mad as a box of frogs but brilliant all the same:
