Songs by Guns N’ Roses and Eminem have made it into Gigwise’s countdown of the 20 Most Controversial Songs Of All Time.

Tracks by Marilyn Manson, Prince and Rage Against The Machine also made it into the poll.

Each song qualified for the countdown on account of lyrical content, and not their accompanying music video.

19. Guns N Roses': 'Used To Love Her' – Just like The Smiths' 'Girlfriend In A Coma', the upbeat tune of Guns N' Roses' 1988 acoustic track starkly contrasts to its gritty content. Bluesy yet pop, the murderous track centres on the lines “I used to love her, but I had to kill her” and “I had to put her six feet under but I can still hear her complain.” Axl Rose insisted the track was merely a joke, but this did little to thwart a barrage of perhaps understandable complaints from females.

Oh, look at that. I would have thought they would list One in a Million instead of Use To Love Her.

[Bill Bailey]

That was my first thought when I heard they were on the list too.

[Streetchild]

Yeah, one in a million is at least controversial.
This song was obviously ment as a joke.
