I would classify a lot of these I'm seeing here as simply difficult rather than frustrating bosses, though frustration obviously has different meaning for everyone.
The only bosses I can remember being truly frustrated with were all in Dragon Quest 8. God that game made me rage like an eight year old with some of those bosses. That game would get me so worked up that it would put me in a bad mood and I ended up going as far as snapping at my girlfriend a few times while suffering though that misery. Dhoulmagus, Rhapthorne and that damned giant bird toward the end of the game stick out in my mind though I'm sure there were plenty others along the way. I don't even know why I kept playing the game until the end. I still rage a bit just thinking about it now. How ya doing, buddy?

Well what I meant about frustration having different means is the context as well. Example: I personally don't see optional bosses with cheap abilities being a frustration point as they are optional and not required to finish the game. But I find storyline bosses with cheap moves that halt progress through the main game to be highly frustrating.
But Generic Badass is correct. I didn't mean to imply other people were incorrect and that there is some universal measurement of frustration, rather I personally found many of the mentioned bosses to be difficult but fair and the fairness helps remove any frustration I might have otherwise felt. There's nowhere I can't reach.
