More Nine Inch Nails

More Jay-Z

On a month when Britney Spears and Hilary Duff have got naked for music videos in a bid to grab media attention, Gigwise is presenting an ultimate countdown of the 50 most controversial music videos. Don't believe anyone when they tell you that The Prodigy's 'Smack My Bitch Up' or Madonna's 'Like A Prayer' are the most controversial of all time; while they fare highly on Gigwise's countdown, there are some sicker and more twisted ones to be found...

CLICK HERE to see the 50 most controversial album covers of all time. Some are truly sick!

50. Sigur Ros: 'Viðrar Vel Til Loftárása' – Set in 1950s Iceland, the cinematic video tells the story of a young boy, presumably gay, whose father discovers him playing with dolls. The dad reacts angrily and forces the child to play football where he angrily berates him on the sidelines. Controversially it then shoots to two separate scenes of the boy and an equally young male friend kissing passionately on the field before they are torn apart.

It's "Happiness in slavery" and part of the film "Broken" which containts much more disturbing moments than the machine torture.
~ by Martin 11/13/2008
I would have had "Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go" on the list. That was truly disturbing!!!

Is the guy who wrote this list a native English speaker? He randomly leaves words out and constantly uses the wrong terms to describe things.
~ by Jesus 11/16/2008
"Rubber Johnny" by Aphex Twin is few times more controversial than "Come To Daddy"
~ by mihau 11/17/2008
DANZIG "It's Coming Down". Genital mutilation? Nails being driven into penises? Razor blades? Anyone?
~ by Panzram 11/17/2008
WOW!!

The Nine Inch Nails video was "Happiness in Slavery" Gave up was just a normal video of the band.
~ by Mister Poe 12/7/2008
oh my god cant believe hilary duff did that'
~ by cat 12/19/2008
alotta these are a desperate attempt for these sucky-ass bands to gain notoriety. If you're 10-15 years old, yeah, i guess a dildo, a few asses, and basic sex acts are horrific. And am I the only one getting sick some douche equating pubes with poor hygiene? Dude, there's a diff. between neat pubes and massive, untamed bush - and you obviously don't know it. My guess is you're a virgin who knows as much about chicks as what he sees in the playboys he hides under his bed.

Guys, if you watch Dir En Grey's "Zan" and "Obscure" then let's see what these shitty videos can say.
