Most Controversial Song email this discussion to a friend?

spokesman (47)   ranked 2,119 out of 6,448 in listening to music7 months ago

What do you think is the most controversial song of the past 10 years?

This is a difficult one for me because my perception of controversial may be different from some. I don't equate controversial with simple shock value. No, the world has plenty of that. I'm looking for songs that made progress in waking people up.

If I had to choose one on the spur of the moment it would probably be "American Skin (41 Shots)" by Springsteen. Inspired in some measure by a man shot 41 times by law enforcement while reaching for his identification is pretty powerful.

What is your choice?

Well, I don't know how controversial these are seeing as everyone I know agrees with them wholeheartedly, but how 'bout "Dear Mr. President" by Pink and "Mosh" by Eminem? I mean, of course I was going to vote already, but "Mosh" made me feel like I would be going to war against the current administration if I did. Bush got reelected anyway, unfortunately, but still... And "Dear Mr. President" is her talking directly to Bush about how very removed he is from the problems of the citizens he is supposed to be leading. I think even "Not Ready to Make Nice" by the Dixie Chicks would qualify seeing as they were directly addressing the fact that they had been banned and protested in several states and had received death threats just for saying they were embarrassed that the president was from their home state.

I can't really think about controversial songs right now but what really comes to mind is a video that would be considered this way. Metallica's Turn the Page. It shows a dancer bringing her daughter to her shows and how she lives the fast life and introducing her child to the dangers of life.
