Wasn't there a rap album years back that had the WTC on fire? I don't think anyone cared until 9/11, but I seem to remember some people mentioning it a while back. Not really controversial, just eerie.
Perhaps controversial in some parts of the country? I know back in the day in New Orleans watching all the punk bands come through, this album cover by the Dead Kennedy's disturbed a few. Nothing that gross, but more sad and tragic ...
What about the Blind Faith album cover? Back in the 60s, there was a controvery when released.

Sorry, I havent' read the whole thread, but wasnt there a Beatles cover with them in butchers coats with hacked up doll parts? Am I hallucinating? If there was, then--wow, astonishing, especially for those artists at that time.
Surprized Alice Coopers Pretties for You didnt make it. Same with the WASP EP F*** Like a Beast. oops forgot the Alice Cooper album Love it to Death where Alice's thumb looks like a mans bady part. The Two Virgins album with Lennon and Yoko nude was very disturbing.
It was actually their Frankenchrist album that caused the most controversy. It had an insert of H.R. Gigers "Penis Landscape" Some suburban mom caused on uproar and Jello Biafras house and Alternative Tentacles offices were raided on obscenity charges. This was back in 85 I beleive. I remember this being on the news.
wasnt there an album back in the 70s that featured a topless 13 year old girl on the cover?
years ago I bought a book about censorship and music and they brought it up.
sadly I have since lost that book and totally forgot who the band in question was. But I do remember reading that a few stores came real close in being charged with selling child porn if they continued to sell that album due to its cover.
I think she was talking bout The Scorpions album "Virgin Killer" Im not going to post a link here cause I know someone will get pissed. Google the image. I warned you.
Actually, she and I are older than you. She was talking about this

a Blind Faith album cover.
Also controversial was the Led Zeppelin album, "Houses of the Holy" with young nude kids on it.
Ive seen the blind faith album before. What does it matter how old someone is?
I just thought that since you didn't seem familiar with Blind Faith's album cover of a 13 year old holding an airplane from 1969, that you might have been too young to have seen it. It came out before the Scorps were a band.
I don't care how old you are. None of what I said was an insult, just a comment about generations and music.
^^Thats true. WELCOME TO THE FORUM Schizoid, and all the new members!!
i try to read all the post in the threads that interest me, i love to get to know all my fellow death hags opinions.
Wait a sec...I just read back. It WAS yours, schiz, that I was making reference to. I thought you, Aries, and I were talking about the same thing. I didn't ignore you, I referenced you.
Theres a huge thread on one of the other forums I visit about the Kens by Request only album.
