Great Moments In Pop Music Nudity (PHOTOS)

Inspired by Erykah Badu, now facing charges, and this list from the LA Times, we thought we'd compile our own list of memorable moments in music nudity.

From various music videos to more than a few Rolling Stone covers, these artists have all taken it off at one time or another for the sake of their jobs.

You forgot Alanis Morrisett in "Thank You"

Not much art though. John and Yoko is good, Prince is pure-pop tongue-in-cheek fun... otherwise, hmm, well Rage Against the Machine do look virile.

Erykah Badu's butt is a little too large for my taste.

Plus, I can't even find the video without it have the privates being blurred out.

How about Alanis Morissette's Thank You video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LUmQXnBPeb0

Now it looks so tame, but at the time it was a bit controversial.

Funny how we always get to view fake ones and bald ones,
but they always blur out all the real natural ones.

Lovesexy is the best pop album of the 80s. Yes, I said that.

Any of Prince's ablums from the 80's is the best pop album. No one has mastered the art of writing a pop song like Prince. No one. Yes. I said that.

Thank you East VillageNYC. I was afraid I'd get Thriller crap but apparently, there are still sensible people on this planet.

Yum D'Angelo... but look at him now :((((( http://thafeedback.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/06/mugshot__dangelo.jpg

A couple of things they forgot -

Jim Morrison was arrested for exposing himself on-stage during a concert.

More than a decade before the comparatively tame RS cover, Lennon and Ono posed full-frontal naked for the Two Virgins album cover.

The album had to be sold in a brown paper wrapper with only the faces visible through cut outs.

is that really Madonna's physique? it looks quite masculine.

[cjohnathan]

03:10 AM on 04/18/2010

never found her attractive...

[timmyaches]

It shows the vapidness of articles like this when the Lennon/Ono Rolling Stone cover is mentioned instead of the more controversial album cover of Two Virgins.

Beth Ditto on the cover of NME. Nuff said.

Madonna, as always, RULEZZZZZZ!

[BowlingForRevenge]

Madonna's is visually the winner BUT was that street cleared before they shot the pictures?

I think Eryka Badu's sheer guts for stripping and walking down Elm St was so provacitive and unexpected that it trumps the nude guys...who we all know will drop trou in a heartbeat! I
AND it most certainly beats the breast flashing and artful posing that hides everything. IMHO.

Heh, thanks for censoring the images, Huffington Post... NOT! It was better when you posted images uncensored. This is the Internet, remember? You don't have to censor images on the Internet, only on TV. Were people actually complaining about uncensored nudity on Huffington Post in any large numbers, because I think you'd draw in more web traffic if you didn't censor things. The pro-censorship minority will still be upset that anything at all about nudity is on this website, such as this post, so you might as well ignore them, and go with the will of the majority here. After all, we Democrats believe in democracy. It is hard for me to tell which image I like the best since they are all censored, but I do like all the ladies in this, and it is hard for me to pick favorites. You did leave out some memorable moments of nudity like Alanis Morissette's nude video, or the Bloodhound Gang's Ballad of Chasey Lain, among others that I recall. And Paris Hilton actually put out a music album once so she is technically both a musician and a porn star. Anyway, I suppose my favorite of the bunch would be Lady Gaga, who is a former stripper.

And they didn't censor the Lady Gaga photo. I see a little nipple there.

[metapunk]

What about the Two Virgins album cover with John Lennon and Yoko Ono? That's the most notorious one.

Prince.....Prince all day, baby!
