    The Beatles' 1968 "the Beatles" (more commonly known as "the White Album". Charles Manson claimed that songs like Blackbird, Piggies and, most infamously, Helter Skelter caused him and his "family", a cult in California, to kill many people. Manson did not actually kill anybody but convinced his "family members" to kill people for him.

    There's rumours that in one concert The Rolling Stones played Sympathy For The Devil with certain frequencies that made people unusually aggressive, there we're several killings in the area that night.

    Wanton- that song was Suicide Solution by Ozzy Osbourne There was also a song by Judas Priest and one by Slipknot. You can see more about songs like these on a documentary called "Metal: A Headbangers Journey" it airs fairly frequently on VH1 and VH1 Classic.

    Music does not cause people to kill or be killed.

    The late great Frank Zappa put it best when he told a congressional hearing-

    "I wrote a song about dental floss. Do you think it made

    annybody clean their teeth more?"

    Helter Skelter - The Beatles.

    Manson didn't just decide to go out and kill people, he thought the Beatles were telling him to.

    Music doesn't get people arrested or die, it is the person's stupid decision that gets them that way. As a musicain/songwriter, music is an expression of the person's emotions, memories, and thoughts and DOES NOT make people kill theirself.

    Some Ozzy Osbourne songs have inspired peopel to commit suicide, but not sure what ones they are. I think one of them is just plainly called "Suicide," but I'm not sure.
