Most Inaccessible Album of All-Time?

Okay, so there hasn't been an official Album yet...
And perhaps not the MOST inaccessible, but I for shure don't see how we have that many listens (Yes, this is me and a friend).
Really though, inaccessible is somewhat subjective. This topic has been covered pretty well already, so I'll just pitch in a little by saying that I, on occasion, enjoy odd, sometimes atonal, music. However, I can't stand country, and do not like modern rap/hip-hop or Emo-type music. That stuff is, to me, terrible and pointless.

I think Merzbow nailed it:
"If noise music is that which is uncomfortable, then pop music is noise to me."
Still, I think if you surveyed everyone in the world (and thus came up with a more objective list) then pop music and hip hop wouldn't be on top of the whole 'most inaccessible stuff ever' list.

Has anyone mentioned the Mike Patton side project Hemophiliac? It made me feel ill before the end of the third track, I had to turn it off.

There are rumors he will pitch things so that people will leave if they talk during his sets, using frequencies that make you physically uncomfortable or ill.

According to legend, and several interviews with former band members, during the early seventies (and possibly later), Hawkwind played their live gigs with an oscillator that could go both above and below the level of human hearing, which, combined with an exceptionally powerful set of speakers and amps, reportedly allowed Simon House to cause members of the audience standing in the right place to either fall over or lose bowel control at the flick of a switch. It should be noted of course, that everyone was completely stoned off their faces anyway.

There's a duo at my college who do lightning-bolt-esque stuff. Incredibly loud and abrasive, but if you're really drunk and have earplugs it's the coolest shit ever. Once during a show one of them handed me a stick and gave me command of the ride.
