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
