Music, Anyone??

Over the years, I've amassed a huge collection of music through various means (buying, begging, borrowing, stealing, and burning with reckless abandon). Most of my friends think I've got a weird taste in music, and they'd be right.

Coz I've got nothing better to do, I've compiled a list (in no particular order) of the most weird or downright funny names of artists and/or albums I own.
  • Gordian Knot - Emergent
  • Liquid Tension Experiment - 2
  • Return to Forever - Light as a Feather
  • Ayreon - Into the Electric Castle
  • Happy the Man - Crafty Hands
  • Primus - Sailing the Seas of Cheese
  • Bela Fleck/Flecktones - Flight of the Cosmic Hippo
  • Spock's Beard - Beware of Darkness
  • Porcupine Tree - In Absentia
  • Cherry Poppin' Daddies - Ferociously Stoned
  • Blue Oyster Cult - Cultosaurus Erectus
  • King Crimson - In the Court of the Crimson King
  • Caravan - For Girls Who Grow Plump in the Night
  • Captain Beefheart and His Magic Band - A Carrot is as Close as a Rabbit Gets to a Diamond
  • Frank Zappa - Ship Arriving Too Late to Save a Drowning Witch
  • Frank Zappa - Waka Jawaka
  • Ozric Tentacles - Tantric Obstacles

Of all these, my favourite (purely in terms of weird names) would have to be Ozric Tentacles. They have even weirder song titles - Og-Ha-Be, Ethereal Cereal, Fetch Me the Pong-Master - to name a few. It's a classic!

So which of these do you think is the coolest-craziest-weirdest name?

Oh, if you happen to like more 4 of these albums, leave your number! Chances are we'll get along really well.
