A "Top 5" List --- The Most Bizarre Works You've Ever Heard?

[Mandryka]

odd, extravagant, or eccentric in style or mode

Tchaikovsky 5, 6; that Debussy St Anthony thing


involving sensational contrasts or incongruities

Something by Bruckner - the first movement of Bruckner 5 maybe

[Florestan]

Schulhoff: Sonata Erotica

Did you have an orgasm while, or shortly after, hearing it, Cesar?

It was nearly to happen, but check it by yourself:

Here you have!

Berio: Sequenza III for female voice
Ligeti: Aventures
Milhaud: L'Homme et son désir
Ustvolskaya: Symphony No. 5
Schulhoff: Sonata Erotica

If these works are not considered bizarre, I don't know what they are then. 

Interesting list. I agree about the Milhaud --- it's odd one for sure, but I love it anyway.

The Meg Ryan scene in When Harry Met Sally ... is better.   

[Symphonic Addict]

The Meg Ryan scene in When Harry Met Sally ... is better.   

Tell that to Andrei's instance. 

[Florestan]

The Meg Ryan scene in When Harry Met Sally ... is better.   

Agreed.

I'm surprised to not see contributions from Cesar, Karl, Jeffrey (a "Top 5"), Kyle et. al. in this thread.

I don't know, man, I don't really listen to that much "bizzare" music. I feel like my list would be pretty tame.

[DaveF]

Schnittke's ______________ (fill in with work of choice).

[(poco) Sforzando]

Agreed. 

Florestan, I cannot message you as your Inbox is full.

With as much music as you know, I find this seriously difficult to believe. Just post some works that you feel were so different than anything else at the time of their composition.

...that Debussy St Anthony thing

You mean Le Martyre de saint Sébastien?
