If we're still able to nominate, I'm nominating First Utterance (1971) by Comus. I'm sure most of you have heard this album, but I thought it would be a fun album to talk about. For those who don't know, this album is a folk album that uses worldly sounds incorporated into its music (you can hear bongos, Romani-sounding violin, old blues/slide guitar, folky voice, etc). The strangest and most interesting aspect about this album, though, is its juxtaposition between the sound of the music and the actual topic that the music is about.
