10 Shocking Music Videos From Big-Name Artists

7. Nirvana - Heart-Shaped Box

Just over 25 years ago, Kurt Cobain died tragically. And whether you could've sworn it was longer than that, or whether it seems like yesterday, the memory we have of him is probably 'Nevermind'-era, bejumpered with scraggly, dirty blonde locks. He was the poster boy for a generation and not just a musical movement.

He was also the creative driving force behind Nirvana and also the twisted architect of the 'Heart-Shaped Box' video.

Directed by Anton Corbijn on strict instructions from Cobain, the video is set in a surreal Wizard of Oz-like reality where Dorothy is, naturally, wearing a Ku Klux Klan outfit. Human fetuses grow in trees, and a big lady wears a suit with human organs painted on it... the message of the video is down to your interpretation entirely.
