   Or at least, the most disturbing use of sound by a recording artist you've ever heard.  Let's see if you can beat me at my own game!  My pick is Throbbing Gristle's "Slug Bait - ICA", recorded in October 1976.  You can listen to it here, if you dare: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hl0mnmZzY9s
   
   I'm looking forward to your submissions!

      Can't think of any that disturbing but the song 'BLACK SABBATH' by Ozzy, Tony, Geezer and Bill was pretty creepy

   Once upon a time there was a tavern
   Where we used to raise a glass or two
   Remember how we laughed away the hours
   And think of all the great things we would do
   
   Those were the days, my friend
   We thought they'd never end
   We'd sing and dance forever and a day
   We'd live the life we choose
   We'd fight and never lose
   For we were young and sure to have our way
   
   Then the busy years went rushing by us
   We lost our starry notions on the way
   If by chance I'd see you in the tavern
   We'd smile at one another and we'd say
   
   Those were the days, my friend
   We thought they'd never end
   We'd sing and dance forever and a day
   We'd live the life we choose
   We'd fight and never lose
   Those were the days
   Oh, yes, those were the days
   
   Those were the days, my friend
   We thought they'd never end
   We'd sing and dance forever and a day
   We'd live the life we choose
   We'd fight and never lose
   Those were the days
   Oh, yes, those were the days
   
   Through the door there came familiar laughter
   I saw your face and heard you call my name
   Oh, my friend, we're older but no wiser
   For in our hearts the dreams are still the same...
   
   Those were the days, my friend
   We thought they'd never end
   We'd sing and dance forever and a day
   We'd live the life we choose
   We'd fight and never lose
   Those were the days
   Oh, yes, those were the days

   Not really that disturbing, but it's what came to my mind.

   Nothing really compares to Slug Bait. Personally, I always found the music video Beautiful People by Marilyn Manson pretty disturbing, but not too disturbing- mostly because of how much he resembles Pee Wee Herman. But hey, it's the best I got. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ypkv0HeUvTc

   If I sense "disturbing" might be showing up in a song I don't listen.  It keeps me from being unnecessarily disturbed.      There's a couple of non-disturbing songs that I find disturbing for personal reasons.  I stay away from them too.

   I can't think of any songs in particular but any song with lots of screaming in it is quite disturbing to me.

    I've never liked the song and thought it was completely ridiculous(disturbing) that anyone would write the song to begin with.
