10 Most Controversial Music Videos Of All Time

4. Like a Prayer - Madonna

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ftXHKfbXeBM Madonna knew this would cause a lot of controversy and boy did she love it. When Like a Prayer was first premiered, it garnered a lot of hate from various religious groups due to blasphemous imagery such as the Stigmata and cavorting with a black Saint- along with throwing in some burning crosses just for good measure. It was that bad that even the Pope got involved, banning her from Italy and causing Pepsi to drop her as their spokeswoman after a furious boycott of Pepsi. It may seem tame now but back then it was something else. Now all we have is an old and haggered Madonna trying to reclaim her 80's heyday.
