▲* [[Pink Floyd|Syd Barrett]]
* [["Weird Al" Yankovic]] is an aversion. His stage persona gives this impression and many of his songs are written from the point of view of an ''extremely'' [[Unreliable Narrator]], but outside of his performances he is a grounded and fairly normal individual.
▲* [[Yuki Kajiura]]
* Singer/songwriter Anna Nalick- probably because she identifies so strongly with [[Alice in Wonderland]] and often admits that she IS Alice and lives in her own world. This Facebook status will prove the point:
{{quote|"Tonight I bought a suitcase for my candy, I drank with Ernest Hemingway, I watched a crazy man dance alone on water under a single star, a very talented musician graciously played the faucet for me...and I played along. I sang to a tuna in the brine. And finally, I stole a pink porcelain icicle and gave it to a superhero. Hmmmm. So sleepy now....Ps. I know EXACTLY why a raven is like a writing desk!"}}

* Believe it or not, Justin Bieber revealed himself to be this on Ellen: ''I blow dry my hair like whoosh! whooosh!''

* [[Peter Gabriel]] once [[Crossdresser|crossdressed]] as [https://web.archive.org/web/20130621184743/http://www.multinet.no/~jonarne/Hjemmesia/Favorittartister/peter_gabriel/Genesis_PeterGabriel_Foxtrot_Paris_Januar1973.jpg a fox in a long red dress] and it [[Crowning Moment of Awesome|was awesome]].
* [[Talking Heads (band)|David Byrne]]{{context}}
* [[Beach Boys|Brian Wilson]]{{context}}
* [[Owl City|Adam Young]]. Listen to his lyrics.
** [[Name's the Same|No, not]] [[Good Omens|that one]], although he counts too, to an extent.
Line 36 ⟶ 35:
** But for most fans, it's all part of his charm.
* Peter Wolf of [[The J. Geils Band]], if getting kicked out by one-time roommate [[David Lynch]] for being too weird is anything to go by.
* [[REM|Michael Stipe]]{{context}}
* [[Backstreet Boys|Nick Carter]] embodies this trope, especially as of late. Check out his Twitter.
* Rudy "?" Martinez of ? and the Mysterians says that he has travelled time and seen dinosaurs.
Line 44 ⟶ 43:
* [[Paul McCartney]]. In addition to coming up with some [http://www.lyricsdepot.com/paul-mccartney/waterfalls.html truly] [http://www.lyricsdepot.com/paul-mccartney/juniors-farm.html baffling] [http://www.lyricsdepot.com/paul-mccartney/soily.html lyrics] on occasion, he's prone to rambling and non sequitur in interviews, notwithstanding his reputation as a savvy PR man. For instance, Paul on painting:
{{quote|"I have millions of little ways to get over blocks because for me-- because I don't do it for a living-- it's important I enjoy it. But every artist that I've ever talked to gets a moment in a painting of what the fuck am I doing? What the hell is this? You get that scary feeling I used to get at school just doing anything virtually: you suddenly think, Oh my god! This could go horribly wrong at any second-- you get actually scared. So I developed tricks. In my mind I have a friend who is Luigi. Luigi owns a restaurant and he's got an alcove rather like this, and he always needs a painting for it. So whatever I'm doing, if ever I get that terrifying moment I say it's for Luigi's alcove, Luigi will like this. And he just lets me off-- it frees my head for two seconds and then I'm over the hurdle and I can carry on. So Luigi's alcove is one of my huge saviours. And then I like blending paint, so I have an alter ego called Mr. Blendini. He often paints for Luigi."}}
* [[Avenged Sevenfold|The Rev]].{{context}}
* [[Bob Dylan]]. Along with drawing moustaches on himself, carrying huge lightbulbs and wooden puppets, he was known for giving hilariously nonsensical interviews to reporters in the mid 60s, with gems such as:
{{quote|"There's a glass in the back of my head. I'm a very sick person. I can't see too well on Thursdays. And another thing, my toenails don't fit."}}
Line 51 ⟶ 50:
{{quote|"I AM STILL THE MOST SWAGGED OUT UNICORN IN THE FUCKING EXISTENCE OF FUCKING UNICORNS NIGGA. FUCK PEGASUS, HE'S A FUCKING FAGGOT. OFUGKTA"}}
* Any of [[The Protomen]] to one degree or another, between the rambling non-sequiturs that make up their "press releases", the insistence on codenames and general mystery about the band itself, half the things they've ever said (including the claim that their bus was destroyed by a vengeance-crazed rodent) and it takes a certain type of person to make a [[Rock Opera]] about [[Mega Man (video game)|Mega Man]] in the first place. The craziness is a big part of their appeal, though.
* [[The Who|Keith Moon]]{{context}}
* [[Jethro Tull|Ian Anderson]], on stage at least.{{context}}
* Damo Suzuki of Can. Just read the guy's interviews. His predecessor, Malcolm Mooney, also qualifies.
