Least Radio-Friendly Albums

I've been all over the internet and I've seen different kinds of music that really got me. I'm not talking about bad albums. Infact these albums can be extremely good in cases. By the way, music that isn't radio friendly are what mainstreamers can't stand but critics can. Experimental music is a huge example.
The Top Ten
1 This Does Not Exist - Lil Darkie
2 Nostockingz - Submarine Man

This better be number 1 lol

3 French Bangers - C'est La Fin!
4 Pulse Demon - Merzbow

Just listen to It and you'll see why I put it at number 1... Go ahead, do it.

5 Charles - Foot Fetish Forever
6 Trout Mask Replica - Captain Beefheart

It is interesting seeing people's responses to these albums. They tend to either say it's a masterpiece or that it is the worst crap they have ever heard. You don't really get anyone saying oh it was alright but nothing special.

How could an album that sounds so terrible be such a masterpiece you ask? This album is mostly about freedom. Think about it.

I am considering a list of characteristics that make a song radio unfriendly what would be couple that you can think of?

7 Commercial Album - The Residents

I guess the title was meant ironically then.

8 Tomb of the Mutilated - Cannibal Corpse

I think there aren’t any brutal death metal radio friendly albums. The lyrics about gore, heavy and complicated instrumentals and very deep growls. Definitely not radio friendly stuff. This album in particular might scare and shock some mainstream listeners.

9 You Won't Get What You Want - Daughters

"This city is an empty glass." Full of industrial noises and unique heavy production.

10 Savage Sinusoid - Igorrr
The Contenders
11 Songs for Insects - Thought Industry
12 Kid A - Radiohead

Unpopular opinion of mine: it's overrated. But not bad. The sounds represent the emotion of each song just to tell you the themes of what it's about.

13 The Palpable Leprosy of Pollution - Infant Annihilator
14 Symbolic - Death

I think everything that's death metal is definitely not pop friendly at all.

15 Attention Shoppers - Nero's Day at Disneyland
16 La Masquerade Infernale - Arcturus
17 Control and Resistance - Watchtower
18 Pyroclasts - Sunn O)))
19 Made In Japan - Deep Purple
20 Momma - Tom Sawyer
21 Weeaboo Paradise, Vol. 1 - Lil Meerkat
22 Have a Nice Life - Deathconsciousness

Imagine having this play on the radio. Mainstreamers would call it boring. Because it's noisy and repetitive.

23 Soundtracks for the Blind - Swans

I'm resting... Actually this is a perfect rest. This album has unique settings with virtual music. It's perfect for laying down and enjoying the show. And of course, it's experimental.

24 Metal Machine Music - Lou Reed

An album's worth of noisy experimental drones? Yeah, that's probably not going to win over any radio programmers anytime soon.

25 The Slim Shady LP - Eminem
