(on the basis of music contained - not necessarily quality of music - some difficult music is very good, but not easy to get into or enjoy on a casual, common-or-garden basis).
My vote goes to:
Shut up and play your guitar - Frank Zappa - highly statistically dense, complicated time signatures and polyrhthmic constructs (e.g. quintuplets (i.e. five notes equally spaced in a beat, septuplets (7), and true polymetric phrasing - things like 13 notes equally spaced over five conventional 'beats of the bar' - 13:5 (as opposed to 13 time, e.g. 13/8, which is a completely different thing and only marginally easier). Even following the score (available seperately) it's tough, even with years' sight-reading experience...
What's your most 'difficult' and 'unlistenable' (but not crap in the qualitative idiom)???
