Boobylicious: Music's 20 Most Memorable Breasts (Semi-NSFW)

It may sound silly, but boobs are powerful things. Men are fascinated and entranced by them, while women constantly obsess over their size and shape. In a way, they're not unlike the ring in Lord of the Rings: Capable of both good and evil, depending on who wields them.

Rocks Off spent the better part of the weekend thinking about tits (sad but true) and came up with ten of the most memorable boob and boob-related events in the music industry, listed for your enjoyment below.

10. Lily Allen's Third Nipple: Carrie Underwood talked about hers during her American Idol audition. Mark Wahlberg refers to his as "my prized possession." But neither nipple got the kind of media attention bestowed upon Lily Allen's third, which made its debut in the summer of 2007 on the British Game Show The Friday Night Project, when Allen lowered her top and exposed the mutation in all of its glory. Some have speculated that Allen's supernumerary nipple is now more famous than the British songstress herself, but until said nipple can sing us a song or badmouth other celebrity nipples, we're going to have to respectfully disagree.

9. Lady Gaga: In an interview last summer the singer told London's Daily Mail, "My aim in what I do is to push buttons, make people do a double take...I dress to get people to stare." And if you're Gaga, this goal is easily accomplished by attaching stuff to your tits, like the bra-mounted guns in the video for "Alejandro" (you know, the one where everyone is rocking a haircut like Javier Bardem in No Country for Old Men), or the pyrotechnic apparatus pictured above.
