Hahaha!!! You missed Mechanical Animals by Marilyn Manson, that caused a lot if problems. And I agree with everyone that’s said Dawn of the Black Hearts by Mayhem… That was INSANE

You totally forgot Mayhem’s Dawn of the Black Hearts. When the cover is an ACTUAL photo of the lead singer after he ki11ed himself with his brains on the bed and blood all over the place, that HAS to be number one on ALL most controversial album covers list.

I remember seeing the album at the time but didn’t really make the connection until years later (LOL). But if you also want to have a good laugh check out the Bizarre Records blog site, excellent fun.

The most controversial cover ever released is Dawn of the Black Hearts from Mayhem. No-one else even comes close to it.

I don’t see the big deal with some of these. The 2nd one is basically a spoof of a painting and I don’t see what’s the problem with the 4th.

Meanwhile, I think Scorpions’ Virgin Killers and Blind Faith’s selftitled albums have somewhat offensive covers (nude underage girls, one being seen entirely (though the vagina is hidden with something looking like a break in a glass panel) and the other seems only topless though holding a plane with a shape reminding of something else…).

I think Virgin Killer is so controversial, even this list wanted to stay away from it. It’s automatically the winner.
