I echo Frownland's comments about Beefheart - I heard Trout Mask Replica in my mid-teens and thought it was terrible. I gradually got into it over time, prompted by the constant namedropping of Beefheart by the post-punk bands I loved at the time. But I didn't listen to the record for ages after first hearing it, and told others it was the worst music I'd ever heard before I revisited it.
That Beefheart guy's my favourite musician of all time, now.
