StrikeThePostman:
Built to Spill - Perfect From Now On

This was only my second BtS album after Keep it Like a Secret - a totally different kind of sound that I had to get used to.  It ended up being my favourite album.

The Wrens - The Meadowlands

I could not get past the vocals for anything.  That seems kind of stupid, though, as I bought In the Aeroplane Over the Sea at the same time and I loved that one straight away.

The Mountain Goats - Nine Black Poppies

My first MG album; the recording quality is terrible and I had never heard anything worse than The Shins' Oh Inverted World.

The Flaming Lips - Clouds Taste Metallic

I was expecting The Soft Bulletin and definitely didn't get it.  However, this grew on me, like the rest of the Lips' stuff (though I'm still waiting for Transmissions from the Satellite Heart to come around, I don't listen to it very much).

Everything Beck ever did

He was my first introduction to alternative rock.  I must say that while there are ways of easing oneself into it, I was thrown headfirst.  His lyrics were really off-putting for a while.

Merkava:
At the Drive-In - In/CASINO/OUT

Took me a while. Had to get used to the screaming. They sound very mild now, but they will always hold a special place in my heart for introducing me into post-hardcore.

How very true. Their last two albums are very accesible, while everything else can pretty much be summed up by the title of one of their compilations: Finally, the Punk Rockers Are Taking Acid. Needless to say, it takes time to get into their early stuff if you were introduced to them later, like me.
