Default Weirdest Rock Album of the 60s

The 70s obviously had an explosion of art rock, but the 60s was an infant stage of art rock and so the truly weird albums are kind of few and far between. So what's the weirdest?

If Beefheart counts then I assume Trout Mask Replica would win, but I honestly don't know if it's a rock album or just a rock-influenced album. If it is then please give me your second choice. I'd have to go with Black Monk Time.

I'm sure there are more and weirder ones but this is a good contender.

I'm sure people will disagree, but Fifty Foot House is still pretty weird by today's standards.

TMR is #2 on the weird grade. Oh and TMR totally counts. This album isn't fully rock though.

Kinda hard to top Orgasm. Extreme metal's roots all go back to this one song.

That was my choice as well but someone pulled the full album video off of Youtube.
