Most Inaccessible Album of All-Time?

<< < (24/33) > >>

Jackie Blue:
I'd reckon that a lot of people, even those who had heard The Velvet Underground and Nico, would hear White Light/White Heat and tihnk it was a badly-recorded garage rock mess.

Which, actually, it is, and probably why I like it.

KharBevNor:
The only album that's ever scared me was English Heretic - 2006 Annual, specifically the last track, 'Enter the Mithraic Stargate', which is basically dark ambience mixed with field recordings of an esoteric thelemite ritual. High school satanism, this shit ain't. I had to turn it off halfway through the first time I heard it, go outside, smoke like, four cigarettes, then come back in and listen to it again. I felt like exorcising my speaker system afterwards.

Jackie Blue:
Third Eye Foundation's Ghost creeps me out to this day.  As does Semtex, but I got it years after Ghost so I already knew what to expect.

mattgcn:
They Might Be Giants for anyone who doesn't like weird music.

Jackie Blue:
I would argue that only the first two TMBG albums are "weird", and even those aren't any "weirder" than Devo, Talking Heads, B-52s, or a thousand other 70s-80s Geek Wave bands.

Actually, there are a lot of tracks on TMBG's first two that are very accessible, meaning that they are very pop-centric and catchy.  "Don't Let's Start" and "Ana Ng" are usually enjoyed even by people who dislike the band.
