Smile From The Streets You Hold by John Frusciante. I don't think there's any other album I've ever heard that sounds like this, or is a better representation of someone who has hit absolute rock bottom. About half of it is recorded before and during his first stint with RHCP, including 2 songs he recorded with River Phoenix (who he may or may not have inadvertently caused the death of
). The other half of the album was recorded during the worst of his heroin addiction, where he nearly died multiple times and subsequently burnt his entire house down, losing basically everything including his paintings, guitars, and cassette recordings.
Johnny Depp and the Butthole Surfers guy did a "documentary" detailing his lifestyle during this time period but things got much worse in the years after. This interview from 1996 is like watching a human skeleton ramble about death. There was also a "music video" released which is just a minute and a half of him shooting up.
He only released the album for drug money and apparently there's thousands of copies sitting a warehouse somewhere as it's never been reissued. It's also kind of crazy how he lost all of his teeth and nearly died of sepsis then under a year later rejoined RHCP and released Californication.
