The 50 Most Shocking Music Videos Ever!

Censored, controversial, banned and sickening music videos...

 

  • 37. The Smashing Pumpkins: 'Try Try Try' - Containing a warning at the start, the documentary-style video follows a couple of drug addicts as they go about their torrid daily search for the next hit. Heaving, drinking, intravenous injections, prostitution all lead up to the tragic overdose at the end. A very powerful and affecting video that was censored early on, it's a shame that more people haven't had the chance to view it.

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!
