In agreement with many others re Trout Mask Replica, remember buying that, trying to listen to it several times and eventually giving up. Just as a good riff got going the Captain went off on a weird one and it totally threw me. I seem to recall it went to my brother as a Christmas gift.
Grace by Jeff Buckley, another album I just couldn't get in to.
The RHCP album was a surprise, this was the first time I'd listened to it all the way through. I think the heavy dynamic range compression and harsh midrange hadn't suited any environment I'd listened to it before (namely either decent headphones or speakers), but at 70mph on the motorway with tyre roar and climate control on full the background noise made it much more bearable. I don't think either album is up to the standard of their forbears (especially Blood Sugar Sex Magic), but I've got a bit more driving to do over the next couple of days and I'm going to keep them on.

There's a minority opinion. I don't entirely disagree- BSSM is way too long and everything starts to blur in to one long trudge through slap-bass whiteboy-rap hell after a while. The false teeth era Frusciante albums are much more varied and shorter (with the obvious exception of Stadium Arcadium).
What do I know though? I like One Hot Minute.
Don't talk politics and don't throw stones. Your royal highnesses.

Mine is Miles Davis Bitches' Brew - especially the first half. Smack induced din of the worst kind. (And I'm a Miles Davis fanboi)

I was daft enough to get the second album too.
me too - the triumph of optimism over experience. I think it's the first track on the first album I like and then it's all meh. The truly abysmal production doesn't help, although Glenn Fat Thin Fat Thin Hughes is in good vocal form.
I was very disappointed with the first album and I don't think I bought the second (...but maybe I did).
I was looking forward to hearing Joe Bonamassa in a hard rock context.... it was really quite surprising to find that "Joes does rock" actually means "Joe does a not-very-good impersonation of Eric Johnson". The songs weren't much cop either.
