Most Inaccessible Album of All-Time?
Alexia:
I found Beast Moans to be fairly inaccessible. I mean, I love most of the artists that comprise the group, but when they all came together, it appeared to me like their different styles clashed, rather than blended, together.

As for inaccessible albums, how about The Final Cut by Pink Floyd? I mean I adore that record, but it's essentially the Roger Waters autobiography written for Roger Waters. Even HE thinks it's shit.

Eh. It's easily the worst album the Floyd ever made (that is, since I don't even count the post-Waters albums as true Floyd at all, though they were even worse).
Weezer's Pinkerton is pretty hard to get into. I mean, it grows on you, but at first listen it's really weird.

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.

Can you upload this? As a person who is very interested in the whole golden dawn/thelemite/etc. lodges, this would be really interesting.

Golden Dawn/thelemite/etc aside, this sounds interesting. Would love an upload as well.
Borondir:
Actually the music of Rite of Spring did not cause the riot. While it was foward thinking, the audience was really upset about the flat footed, stomping dancing. This was early 20th century Paris, and tastes in ballet still ran towards delicacy and grace.
Schoenberg and other 12 tone work is indeed really hard to get into. I still can't get into Pierrot Lunaire. Its not 12 tone, but its still atonal and the Sprechstimme is really far removed from normal vocal technique.

I call bullshit on that. Ignoring the post-Waters Floyd for the minute - as I love it - both More and Obscured By Clouds have some great tracks (More particularly) are far worse than Final Cut, and UmmaGumma's second disc is frankly awful. Final Cut certainly edges them out at the very least.
