David Allan Coe - Rated X I honestly think without this album he would've been the fifth member of The Highwaymen. Everybody in the outlaw country scene performed with him, espescially Johnny Cash who was one of his closest friends that even got him out of prison. His songwriting skill and charisma was undeniable but that one album kept him from being a household name name outside of that genre. He refutes any claims of racism and says its a joke album to this day. He's kind of proved it over the years by having one of the most diverse backing bands in country music but that kind of thing is hard to shake.

As a huge fan of DAC's music (sans Rated-X) and older country music in general, that album makes me cringe. One; obviously it's racist and racism is cringe, and two; the modern trend where you are expected to reconcile every positive facet of your interests with something negative that has no affect on your personal values. If bad exists where there is good - regardless of your focus on the good - it's implied that you're endorsing the bad by association. Nuance and context be damned. DAC (and CM in general) presented stories of a specific culture and way of life - Americana - with no filters and bitter honesty. As with other genres and artists who do the same, this stuff has value. There is some horrible stuff written in rap/hiphop, but I apply my logic there as well (Ironically, the biggest proponents of "YEAH BUT HOW DO YOU RECONCILE..." get super weird when you bring this up. Their logic is exclusive and only applies to specific things). If a murderer creates the cure for cancer, I'm not boycotting it to show people how anti-murder I am. I'm taking the medicine because that specifically is what has value to me. Of course we should acknowledge the bad, but it's okay to take and enjoy what's valuable and leave the rest. It doesn't make you a literal Nazi/racist supervillan.

The Silver Apples' second album "Contact" has a pretty interesting story behind its controversey. The band shot the photo for the front cover in the cockpit of a PanAm plane with the logo visible, but the back cover showed the wreckage of a plane. When PanAm found out about this, they sent an army of lawyers after the band, essentially pressuring them to disband. I found this out from a video by Bandsplaining that goes over the band's history, it's a pretty interesting watch.

Having Big Black's "Songs About F***ing" in the background is the icing on the cake to this video! Top tier album!

Mayhem’s “The Dawn of the Black Hearts” bootleg album cover shows Ohlin’s lifeless body, it isn’t much a big controversy compared to these albums in this video but it’s fucked up that Aarseth took a photo of his dead bandmate and allegedly took several body matter soon after Dead’s suicide.

The Colombian "Ultrametal" scene is from the early to mid 80s and way heavier than pretty much any metal produced at the time.

I definitely find the topic of controversial albums interesting and how opinions shift over the years, where something considered to be controversial is no longer controversial. How some parts of the world view controversy differently. Ultimately, I suppose my picks would be: - The Satanic Mass - Probably for the same reason as Coven's album was considered controversial. - Shinobi vs. DragonNinja by Lostprophets - While it wasn't controversial at the time of release, became controversial when it was revealed what their lead singer did. Honestly, I find it disturbing why anyone would still own any albums by this band. I feel bad for the other band members. - Yesterday & Today by The Beatles - Mainly due to the album cover. At the time, it was considered to be too 'shocking' for the US market by their record company and they used a different cover for the album for the US.

I also covered Coven in my Black Metal Origins episode of my podcast, mostly because of its contents and satanic topics. But... it was the 60's... everything was a bit "controversial" and occult by that time. You also have Sacrifice, by Black Widow, which came out in 1970. This record is also filled with occult, satanism and really really dark tunes. I own both records and like them a lot because of their historical value. Also, Arthur Brown was a big influence on how he portrayed occult elements through his performances. And if you want dark, occult and satanic references before Coven and Black Widow, it all came out from Robert Johnson. I guess it was the first artist to reference it on his songs and, of course, all what happened with his life and death.

Intense Hammer Rage's "Avagoyamugs" is the *only* album in Australian history to have all physical copies (that were left) destroyed. This is likely the most controversial album I know in a less light-hearted context as the themes and art are quite fucked up. Another controversial album, though the controversy is seen as bullshit nowadays, is Goblin by Tyler, The Creator. The album is controversial due to the explicit themes and the imagery, though nowadays it is just seen as a good rap album.

Can you explain more? I listen to an offshoot project called bodychoke, and want to know if any of the members are sketchy.

I have a few I'd like to share. I feel you can't get more controversial than Fela Kuti's "Zombie", it's music legend at this point. The two songs that make up the album make fun of the soldiers that served the military dictatorship that was going on in Nigeria at the time. Fela had been instigating them throughout the early 70s, but that album, and especially the song 'Zombie', caused the military to fight back. They raided Fela's commune, the Kalakuta Republic, and beat him and several people there. They threw his mother out of a window, leading to her death months later. Sure the catalyst is the title track, but I think the whole album counts considering the other track on that album is about the same topic, just a bit less abrasive. I've heard that many Nigerian radio stations still refuse to play his music. Fela's story is fascinating, and his music is fantastic too so I'd recommend digging in Big Lurch is in prison for a particularly gruesome murder, involving being high on PCP and eating bits of the victim's body. There are many controversial aspects to the crime case, many people believe he is innocent and her ex-boyfriend committed the murder, many believe Big Lurch was set up by Black Market Records. This all relates to the album "It's All Bad", as Black Market tried to capitalize on the circumstances. Most notably with the album cover, which displays Big Lurch photoshopped to be holding up a silver platter with a skull on it. I might be misremembering this one, but I remember that there was an album by Nicole 12 that got controversial, "Playground" I think it was called. Mostly because of the album art, which people thought was taken from a piece of CP or something. It was confrmed that the actress was, in fact, over eighteen. That's what I remember about it, I'll have to search that one up again "Trout Mask Replica" by Captain Beefheart kinda speak for itself, I think. Controversial to this day This might not count necessarily, but I figured I'd mention. "Juan Gabriel en el Palacio de Bellas Artes" is a live album by Mexican popstar and music legend Juan Gabriel performing in the most prestigious hall in Mexico City, El Palacio de Bellas Artes. There was controversy leading up to the performance, mostly from the upper class elite of Mexico City. Y'know, 'cause el Palacio only had performances of ballets, ochestras, "high art" stuff (it's in the name, 'Bellas Artes'). So having a popstar sing popular Mexican music of the time? Juan himself was thrown death threats and homophobic slurs to try to dissuade him from doing the performance. But he did it anyway, and it lead to what in my opinion is one of the best live albums ever made. Those are the I can think of now, if there are any others that come to mind I'll reply to this comment with them

It’s All Bad by Big Lurch, not for the horrorcore album itself but the things he did. He was found guilty of eating his roommate while under the influence. The song ‘I Did It to You!’, in which Lurch compares himself to fictional and real serial killers, was used as evidence against him. The trial itself was kind of sketchy, as things like unidentified fingerprints on his roommate were glossed over. The album itself was released after his sentence by the label he was working with called Black Market Productions. Seems that they were trying to make a profit out of the situation.

Sex Pistols-Never Mind The Bollocks: the signing ceremony in front of Buckingham Palace, the riverboat concert at the anniversary of the queen...fucking Sex Pistols.

I remember the Body Count controversy, was an interesting thing to live through

The most controversial album that I know of is "Pseudoscorpion" by Zenjin. I've never listened to it, though, and for good reason, too: apparently it has sound clips of...how should I say this...dirty movies...with children. Usually I'm anti-censorship, but I'm glad this album is (apparently) illegal to own!

BIG BLACK💥🤘got it on cassette and album 👍

I know someone already said that, but I’m also going to have to say Death in June’s Brown Book album from 1987 for including a weird cover of the Nazi Germany anthem and SS iconography on the album cover. This obviously got it banned in Germany. Despite all of that controversy, though, I still think it’s an important album in the shaping of neofolk as a genre, even if it’s not quite as consistent as BWEWTSS? or Rose Clouds of Holocaust (the latter’s title track also being very controversial). Douglas P. just basically radiates controversy, if we’re being completely honest.

@@wheelsofmercury yeah it's like I know Douglas likes to flirt with the stuff to be controversial and "show off the ugliness of mankind," but it does make you feel awkward having some of the stuff. Like some random stranger seeing the stuff in your collection probably isn't going to get it. And while he was in an Anarcho Punk band, Crisis, that was also anti racist, it's still weird to think about.

What you said about "De Mysteriis..." is beside the point, not about the album, just about the band. If the title was "The Most Controversial Bands" you might have been right. The only controversy about the album is that when the family of Euronymous asked Hellhammer to remove the bass lines that had been played by Varg, he agreed but he still kept the bass lines on the album.

I stand with what I’m saying Like I said the controversy is all about the events that lead to it’s creation and even with todays view on them it’s still ends up with De Mysterious talked about

starting this off with Johnny Rebel was so fucking funny

I think there was never more controversy in music in such scale as Marilyn Manson "Antichrist Superstar" . To shake whole nations to the point where people was protesting and states was banning the shows - is art. The whole world knows him in opposition to most of the bands you talked about.

3:37 Why dose it look like a late 90s rap album cover lol

Mayhem's Dawn of the Black Hearts

I guess you could put every NSBM band who've released an album on this list too.
