what do you mean by out there? for instance, in my book, "piper at the gates of dawn" is a lot more out there than "sgt. pepper". wouldn't you consider late 60s free jazz (e.g. a lot of the output on impulse!, by trane, ayler, sanders et al.) to be way more out there than e.g. "agharta" (which is essentially some funky jazz-rock jamming)? how can "axis: bold as love" be more out there than "ascension"? what about karlheinz stockhausen, john cage etc.? why do people make lists??
