As well as punk / metal I also like:
Bee and FLower - dark, moody and bluesey female vocals.
Final / Stars of the Lid - minimal ambient soundscapes.
Godspeed! You Black Emperor / Explosions in the Sky / Sigur Ros / Pelican / Codes in the Clouds - post-rock.
Steve Von Till - pared down folk (Steve also sings / plays guitar in Neurosis)

British Sea Power.
Saw them last night headlining the Eastleigh festival. They were incredible. I came away with a dubious souvenir in one of Yan's socks
King Creosote was excellent in support.I like Camera Obscura a lot too.

Love this, just a rolling wall of clicky static with a haunting horn melody.
Also like John Cages prepared piano work. Having seen some performed live, it's so odd to see a familiar instrument produce such odd sounds :

Do Half Man Half Biscuit count, or are they a bit mainstream? Preferably the slightly more recent stuff, Achtung Bono's my favourite album. CSI Ambleside is quite good. Off to see them in August!

The Orb - The Orb's Adventures Beyond the Ultraworld
The whole 2 hours fantastic very "trippy". Saw them live twice back in 91 + 92 Manchester Academy - large amounts of fungus might have been involved!
Fluffy Clouds is the track most people will have heard

Do Half Man Half Biscuit count
Love HMHB
I was outed in another thread as a old crusty/hippy and my musical tastes are suitably non-mainstrem. I'm guessing tho' that the OP doesn't simply mean obscure (so I won't be flaunting my Dr.Brown ltd vinyl or Wobble Jaggle Jiggle Band cassettes (which is just as well as the **** gave up the death ages ago).
So, by 'off teh wall' i'm guessing the OP means "challenging," which I'm taking to mean what UI'm listening to when my missus says, "Will you turn that off, ffs!"
so..
Current 93, Acid Mothers Temple, Sunn o))), Les Rallizes Denudes, United Bible Studies

Incredible String Band perhaps falls into that category. Not sure if I actually 'like' it tho. But I am a fan of Lee Perry and King Tubby, who can sound like their music is being beamed in from another planet.

The last time I saw the cardiacs was about ten years ago. I had a few friends connected with them so got free tickets to Cardiac and Sea Nymph gigs so have seen them quite a few times. They have always been a Fantastic band live with a good following too. I never got bored seeing them, always a good night.
There is a link to Tim's well-being here
