1stPlace: Emperor(or anything out of Norway in the BM-era)

2ndPlace: Dimmu Borgir

3rdPlace: Cannibal Corpse

Honorable(or dishonorable depending who ya talk to) Mention: Slipknot

What do you think?

P.S..: Im not saying these bands are bad(although CC and DB suck) just that they are controversial.

    Damn, I forgot about them, I know who they are and own an album or two, but still Emperor and other BM bands lived their lyrics and actually burned churches and killed priests with hatchets. Now thats more frightning than controversial!

    EDIT: Also Horde was very controversial for making a Christian bm album with song titles such as "Invert the Inverted Cross"

    Fuck what about those Skinhead bands that sing about white power. I just saw an A&E show about that shit last night. I think singing songs about killing visible minorities for the greater good of a white supremisist society might take the cake. I don't recall any of the band names though.
    Which came first,
    the bad idea or me befallen by it?

    True True, but CC had a song called "I C-m Blood" that was controversial and look at the album covers!

    I'm no expert - dont think i've ever even heard one of their (GG's) songs (EDIT the song titles alone are enough to make me queasy)...I just saw a documentary about them and that made me curious so I did a bit of reading about them after that - EDIT always talked about killing himself on stage, feces incidents, lottsa blood, riots....all that good stuff.

    The stuff is like Mindless Self Indulgence or Insane Clown Posse, but more offensive. And...just buy an album, I wont spoil it for you!

    And there is much better death metal out there. They have no talent, they are competing with nicklecrap and limpbizkit(however you spell it i dunno) for the title of worst band ever.

    ummmmm....about being a song that is about killing cops....I would imagine

    .....not quite as crazy as the other stuff you mention in this thread (ie no priests were killed), but as far as mainstream attention goes this was pretty contreversial

    Most of those Norweigian Death Metal bands are pretty out there. I've heard the name Mayhem mentioned as one of the most controversial bands but I'm not sure what they did to claim that title.
  • As far as mainstream influence, the Beatles and Elvis were much more controversial than the "Cop Killer" thing or the 1st Amendment stuff that followed the 2Live Crew around.
