Pretty good list except one thing missing. Voted the most controversial album cover of all time many times, Mayhem The Dawn of the Black Hearts. The album cover features a picture of the lead singer at the time, named Dead ironically, with both his wrists slit and his brains blown out with a shotgun. And the picture is real its the singers real suicide photo taken by the bands founder and lead guitarists Euryonomus.

Not considered to be controversial, I would love to know the value of Lynyrd Skynyrd’s “original “Street Survivors” Album (1977). The original is a simple cover of the band members standing to have their photograph taken together. In front of them is a superimposed picture of a fire. When the tragic plane crash occurred in 1977 when Singer, Ronnie Van Zandt ; Guitarist, Steven Gaines ; and Gaines’ sister Cassie we’re killed, the production of the original album cover was changed to NOT have the flames of fire in front of them. I am wondering what the value of it in near mint condition would be ??

Wow…..that Scorpions cover is quite a shock. I’m not sure how to feel about the fact that it’s widely available online and that it’s considered to be an issue of censorship rather than common decency.

What do you think about Wikipedia’s position?

I definitely agree with The Beatles at Number 1. Hahahaha……that was funny.

I was thinking, “I wonder if…?” before scrolling all the way down. Last time I saw a copy of that record in the flesh (no pun intended) a little over ten years ago, it went for $650 at a collector’s fair. I’ll have to take a look at eBay later.

Slayer’s cover for “God Hates Us All” easily fits in.

I’m suprised that Ozzy Osbourne’s cover for “Speak Of The Devil” wasn’t banned. That scared the ***** out of me seeing that as a young boy. I read that the conservative retailers had copies which featured a sticker covering up his mouth.

You could also add Lynyrd Skynyrd’s “Street Survivors” to the list, though it really doesn’t make sense without the backstory.
