Top 10 Most Controversial Songs of All-Time




Guns N Roses seems to be a band that gets put on a lot of controversial Top Ten lists when it comes to music though the politically-minded progressive rock legends The Clash appear to be forgotten/neglected by those folks putting such lists together though their 1979 song "London Calling" caused quite a stir in the UK.

Today, we feature a Top Ten Most Controersial Songs list compiled by top-10list.org

The late '80s song "Dear God" by XTC is a personal favorite. The lead singer of the band whose name I should know said that some radical evangelical Christian threatened to resort to violent measures if a radio station in his hometown of Jacksonville, Fla., didn't quit playing the song. I imagine today that guy is head of the Florida Tea Party.

Here is the list:

1. "Louie Louie" by The Kingsmen

2. "Used to Love Her" by Guns N Roses (pictured)

3. "Kim" by Eminem

4. "Cop Killer" by Blood Count

5. "F*** the Police" by NWA

6. "God Save the Queen" by The Sex Pistols

7. "Darling Nikki" by Prince

8. "If U Seek Amy" by Britney Spears

9. "Dear God" by XTC

10. "Suicide Solution" by Ozzy Osbourne
