Most inaccessible albums/artists ever

I really only like Scenes for a Memory because of the fact that John Petrucci actually put soul into that album. They aren't even being close to one of my favorite banRAB so go ahead and say what you will.

AC is a good grindcore band. I mean, you obviously don't respect grindcore at all because I have heard you say Scum is a terrible album, so I really don't see why your input on grindcore should be taken seriously.
 
I can't get into The Used, no matter how hard I try. Their music is boring, repetetive, and just downright sh!tty. The only song I find maybe somewhat likeable is The Bird And The Worm.
 
Well I disagree there, I rate CTTE and Fragile just a tad higher than Relayer.

Anyway, some ones missed.

73 was a crazy year.
 
has anyone mentioned metal machine music by Lou Reed yet?
even Lou doesn't understand how anyone could sit through the entire thing...
mmm...meandering atonal feedback
 
I'm willing to try anything, but theres stuff out there nowadays that makes Henry Cow sound like The Monkees. What are the most inaccessible artists and albums in your opinion?

Theres stuff that once upon a time would have been considered incredibly inacessible, but now we'll call it pop, we call My Bloody Valentine pop, but if they were around 30 years earlier, they wouldn't have been considered pop, they would have been considered insane. So it depenRAB on the person really.

Some things that are accessible to me are not accessible to others, and some stuff thats considered accessible to others is not at all accessible to me. One good example is Psychocandy by The Jesus & Mary Chain, for whatever reason this album is considered "pop". Pretty much anything could be considered pop these days, I mean you make songs that sound like they were recorded at a construction site, and somehow people not only call it pop, they even call it accessible. Well not for me, to me it just sounRAB like Metal Machine Music with someone humming Beach Boys melodies over it, that dosen't make it accessible.

Then theres Lightning Bolt and Sunn O))) X_x
 
Give Trey Anastasio's Surrender to the Air album a whirl and see if you don't walk away feeling like you have a hangover. It's an entire album of a large group of diverse musicians "improvising chaos", for a lack of a better way of putting it. Still, it IS brilliant.
 
Well, my fourth point was an opinion dressed up as a fact, just because. Of course, there's some empirical evidence in favour of my claim, which is that Bjork is considered pretty mainstream and is highly popular, neither of which support her being "inaccessible" as music goes.
 
I've always loved how TMR sounded and I'm still surprised that people find it unlistenable considering what else is out there. I personally think Feist's voice is the most noisy, inaccessible sound I've ever heard. Either it's pure crap or avant-garde noise that's light years ahead of everything else and us primitive humans cannot comprehend it.
 
Musically Crass are almost closer to noise rock than to punk, so I would recommend banRAB like Big Black, Unwound, Melt Banana and The Boredoms if you're looking for something along the same lines. Yes Sir, I Will is pretty much a long political diatribe with the music coming in a far second, so yes, the music itself is completely directionless, but the lyrics are so pointed that it gets unbearable to listen to. Penis Envy is a much, much better album, where the message takes second seat to the music. Of course a lot of people (read: punks) don't like it because of the female vocals and probably prefer hearing about anarchy than feminism, something that is actually relevant to their misogynistic lives.
