Most controversial album cover

I'd say Cradle of Filth 'Jesus is a Cunt' is pretty distasteful. And who ever the dude is who wears that t-shirt to Moshulu. No wonder you hate your parents, they hate you equally.

I was going to say that. I can't believe they got away with such blatant paedophilia.

I can't believe they got away with such shite music either' date=' but that's a different matter.[/quote']

As someone pointed out it isnt child pornography to show naked underage people - it's dependent on the context and the girl in question scarily was the daughter of an RCA designer I believe, it is legal,just pretty tasteless.

As for the music,i have a soft spot for some of it though there is a lot of crap, have to admit, love 'Moment of Glory' though...

Cheers

Regurgitate have a good few.

Variouse Goregrind bands have some pretty bad covers.

Waco Jesus stick in my head as having some good ones i think.

xxx manik have an amazing one - harvesting the cunt nectar.

and they have a t-shirt that is amazing as well, called object.

it has some poloroid on it from theyr album 'deathpile',on the back it says....

IF YOU DONT WANNA BE OFFENDED DONT READ THIS

"You are an object, an object for my pleasure. I can fuck you, I can beat you, I can do as I please...because you are less than human. You are a thing! A thing with tits, a thing with an ass, a thing with a mouth, a thing with a cunt. I will use you, I will use you and throw you away! Object! You exist only for my use, and then you cease to be useful. You are disposable, just like the rest of your gender. You are a fucking object!"

Brutal as fuck. one of the most offencive things i ever seen.

And the cuddly fabs in 1965 with the aformentioned "Butcher Cover" which was quickly withdrawn from sale after outrage from DJs and the like and is worth heaps of money noo

OK the Scorpions is a bit sick but it's still on sale... but Two Virgins is too much for Aberdeen Music in 2006 ?( Deary me is it just coz it features two not so bronzed examples of the perfections of the human body?

Surely one of the most controversial album covers was infact the Beatles - ''Abbey Road''.

This, as my English teacher told me, was because John Lennon is seen holding a cigarette. SHOCK HORROR!

The cigarette was then edited out on newer versions of the album cover.

How pathetic.

It's full-frontal nudity' date=' and we don't need schools, universities etc. using that as an excuse to block the site. Likewise we don't want angry parents coming down on us for allowing their offspring to view images they may find offensive. Most people on this site will have seen the cover and wouldn't be offended by it, but as far as I'm concerned it's just not appropriate material for the site.[/quote']

I see your point although other bits of this thread and board are hardly fit for youngsters eyes e.g.

"Jesus is a cunt"

"IF YOU DONT WANNA BE OFFENDED DONT READ THIS

"You are an object, an object for my pleasure. I can fuck you, I can beat you, I can do as I please...because you are less than human. You are a thing!

yep... i remember that one.... a mate of mine had it....correct me if i am wrong but was the album not withdrawn and some other cover used instead?

There was an alternate cover but I've seen the original version in record shops over the years. The Scorpions were never that tasteful in either artwork or music:gringo:

That was blackout and is seen by many as a seminal album cover, Savage amusement was a terrible album cover and they've certainly had some bad taste covers (animal insticnct was almost as bad taste as Virgin Killer) but Blackout is a classic.
