Is it possible for a song to be unusual and good?
Are there any examples of songs which are unsual and good?
I really like This Is The Monkey by The Modified Toy Orchestra.
That is unusual and I think it is good.

How unusual something is is subjective, isn't it?

For some reason I assumed it was local

but how good it is isn't?
this seems to me to be the backwards way round.

I didn't say that

no it just seems that you picked the less obviously subjective one to call out as subjective

I quite like You Drive Me Oh Oh Oh by Juicy Panic too.

I remember seeing a band years ago, a support act.
One song was called dunkin donuts. A strange speed metal effort.

DUNKIN'S..... DONUTS RULE.
DUNKIN'S DONUTS RUUUUUULE.

yeah I think so,
what's "usual" is only a product of culture, there's a lot of Eastern music which would sound pretty unusual to us.

Yadda yadda.
Give examples. I'm basically looking for people to recommend me music without them knowing.

Christ no.
It would remind me of Moohalaa and make me cry with grief at his passing.

or any traditional Arab music
www.youtube.com/watch?v=A3G7VW1RMks
It sometimes sounds a bit out of tune to us, but it isn't. Arabic music uses a scale of 24 equal intervals, compared to our paltry 12 tone scale.

19 tone equal temperament is also quite fun
