* [["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.
* 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:

* Japanese rocker [[Gackt]] is well-known for his odd behavior, particularly in interviews: Instead of answering questions in a straight-forward manner, he instead says things that are deliberately absurd, nonsensical, or lewd, but always with a [[Deadpan Snarker|straight face]], making it difficult to tell if he is joking or being serious.
** Those infamous [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kUbtAX7SkDw Utaban interviews] ("The Pork Belly blocks...get them for me. They are back there. I know they are." / "Well I'm [referring to his penis] a Magnum." / "I haven't felt like being naked much lately.")
** One of his most well-known [[Deadpan Snarker|jokes]] has led some fans to think that he seriously believes he's a 496 year old vampire. Even after he revealed his true age, there were still fans who still believed the vampire shtick.
** 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.

* [[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.
* Jazz bandleader Sun Ra kept his past shrouded in mystery, claimed to be from outer space, and created a [[Myth Arc]] surrounding this.

* [[Captain Beefheart]]. Captain Beefheart for the win. He seems to have lived on a plane so different from the rest of us, it's a wonder that he was able to survive as long as he did.

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:

* [[Avenged Sevenfold
* [[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:

* FULL (Furukawa Tomo) of [[Guniw Tools]] fame, judging by any of his lyrics, interviews and art.
* Tyler, The Creator, of hip-hop collective [[OFWGKTA]], though it's unclear how much of it is an act. He's referred to himself as a unicorn, a table, and a purse.

* [[The Who|Keith Moon]]{{context}}
* [[Jethro Tull
* Damo Suzuki of Can. Just read the guy's interviews. His predecessor, Malcolm Mooney, also qualifies.
