Blimey, that's a tricky one..
Possibly something like 'Bitches Brew' by Miles Davis, I think it's often a gateway album for people with a more 'rock' background, probably due to the inclusion of guitars and electric bass and some quite chaotic keyboards. I think it was my 'in' back in the day!

#NowSpinning #BitchesBrew by #MilesDavis courtesy of the #VinylMePlease #ElectricMiles boxset.
This is such a great set, impeccably done. I’ve got the #MoFi versions of about half of these, & the #VMP is better. That is particularly the case with BB - the VMP sounds edgier, more dynamic, as it should.
I’m still new to this period of Miles - but BB is monumental: unique, challenging, haunting, & lyrical.
Miles Davis - Bitches Brew
Bitches Brew is...a lot. Two drummers. Three keyboards. Two bass players. Sax. Clarinet. Trumpet. Guitar. More. And all kind of playing whatever they want, given light direction.
Hours of tape, edited into these tracks, given some structure.
Never less than interesting. But never "less" at all. Always...more.

Miles Davis - In a Silent Way
This is a real favorite of the "electric Miles" period. It's such an interesting use of the *studio* as a tool for giving structure to improvisation, selecting out the bits and pieces that work and then editing them together.
Despite the 'electric' tag, this is a really "open", meditative record, given a lovely remastering and pressing by VMP as part of the Electric Miles box set.
