Of course it isn't. If you find Syd Barret unlistenable then Frank zappa, Captain Beefheart, Tom Waits, The Residents and many other 'difficult' bands have passed you by too.
I'm not a Rolling Stones or Bob Dylan fan but I wouldn't say that their albums are the worst I've ever heard, far from it. To dislike a band is one thing, to say a band (especially an album) is the worst you have ever heard when it still resonates today through so many musicians is something, as a music fan find hard to take.
I hate Coldplay with a passion but I still wouldn't say any of their albums are the worst I have ever heard by a long chalk.
You don't like Piper? Fair enough but if it's the worst album you have ever heard, you must listen to some right old crap.
