On this day, October 19, 1987, Mötley Crüe released their controversial single “You’re All I Need.” The song, a power ballad from their Girls, Girls, Girls album, drew significant attention, not just for its lyrics but for the music video that accompanied it. MTV famously refused to air the video, citing its depiction of violence as too graphic. Despite the controversy, the song remains one of the band’s notable tracks from the late ’80s.

Do you think MTV was right to ban the video, or did the controversy help make the song even more iconic?
