Most Inaccessible Album of All-Time?

<< < (11/33) > >>

a pack of wolves:
It's all relative though. Someone posted up a link to the No Fun Fest and I saw Lambsbread were playing who I don't find at all inaccessible. To me they're great fun live. Birds Of Prey have played there too and it's the same with them (although they're not party time like Lambsbread it didn't take me an effort to come to grips with what they were doing). Also Wolf Eyes, Lightning Bolt and 'Trout Mask Replica' which have all been mentioned made perfect sense to me the first time I heard them.

'Hate' by The Delgados on the other hand didn't. The lush sound it had made it rather impenetrable for me, despite being a big Delgados fan. It took me years before I liked that album and was actually able to get into it. 'The White Album' by the Beatles I still don't like. I've never been able to penetrate to what it is about The Beatles that makes them so beloved apart from their ability to write a catchy melody, and I know people find a lot more to them than that.

Of course "Inaccessible" is all relative. While I like noise acts... No Fun Fest is the lollapalooza of "noise" music. Having gone to the last 3 years, and each year, trying to take friends who I think might discover something new they'd like... the response is always drenched in plugged ears, and the majority of the evening spent outside because they can't handle the slide whistles run through effects pedals mixed with circuit bent children's toys with 4 or 5 guys screaming nonsense over the top of it all. Some of it, even for me comes across as a little unrehearsed and crapped together... but bands like Hair Police, Wolf Eyes, and Magik Markers made/make it all worth while. If you were asking ME what's inaccessible I'd easily say any country music released after 1982. Modern country is grating, generic, and soulless. It's taken a genre that used to be about something... and turned it into a money making mockery of itself... which in turn is always hard to listen to.

You shoulda' known that I'd be a free spirit
You shoulda' known that I'd be stern and strong
You shoulda' known I am aw-all on my own
You shoulda' known that I was... a cow-ow-boy.

Oh crap! I've been assimilated!
I NEED A BOOT UP MY ASS, FAST!!

Ballard:
Baby, from the first day
Your boot was up my ass
Stole my heart away
And stabbed at it with broken glass

muteKi:
I always misheard that one line in "Shoulda' Been a Cowboy" as "Riding my woman on the cattle drive"
