10 Most Controversial Music Videos Of All Time

By Daniel McMurtry /

3. Closer - Nine Inch Nails

You can't even justify how this video was in no way controversial, it was shoving controversy down your throat from the outset. It showed what seems to be a 19th century mad scientist's laboratory and featured numerous things such as a severed pigs head spinning on a machine, a crucified monkey and Trent Reznor in a S&M mask and wearing a ball gag. There is more though but I'll leave you to watch the music video yourselves to discover everything else disturbing about this video.
