What, in your opinion, would be the most outrageous music pin which would never be built in production?
What would be in the pin?

Not on the list, but would love to see a Pink Floyd or RUSH pin. With their members starting to pass away, it could be a nice commemorative edition, I just think that their fan base is no longer the target demographic. My "smart-ass" choice would be Nickleback. Let's hope that one never gets green-lighted.... 
Motörhead. Would love to see it.
An Ozzy pin...with modes that reference Biting the head off a dove and a bat. Let’s not forget what he did at the Alamo either. Modes of events of his life that are life legendary rock star moments. Would have to cover his career kind of and not just an era or album.
Cake would be a personal wishlist pin for me. Just like a lot of their music.
Dead Kennedy’s would be another that would never be made.. too political.
There is an endless list of bands that either don’t have a big enough following or are just too edgy.
Really, most music acts, no matter how big in the 80s 90s or 2000s will ever get a pin, let alone an outrageous act.
For example, the five top acts based on number of weeks they had a song on the Billboard top 100 from the 80s:
1. Prince
2. Darrell Hall and John Oates
3. Billy Joel
4. Madonna
5. Michael Jackson
Not going to see a pin.
I personally might like the following 1980s though they are also unlikely:
Elton John (#8) Journey (#13), Chicago (#18) REO Speedwagon (#23) Bob Segar (#26) Foreigner (#38) The Police (#74)
Van Halen (#35) or Queen (#50) might ...
I believe there’s a market for a rap/hip hop pin but not holding my breath waiting for it to be made.

I think Prince could. I’ve heard his licensing is a lot more attainable than say MJ or Madonna. I’m certainly rooting for a Prince game.
Can Rocky Horror count as a music pin? That’ll never happen either - even though it would be awesome.

I don’t think that market exists. Not even a limited release market.

Well that is interesting! Most generations are familiar with the cult classic, it crosses Sci fi and horror lines and even has a Meatloaf song - would make a great homebrew pin if nothing else but I think it could be successful commercially.
B-52’s is another - just think of the legendary callouts;
A physical ball lock “Love Shack.”
Hit the Rock Lobster!
Shoot the Ramps to tune to Channel Z!
Take a trip to Private Idaho!
Hallucinate *THIS* Pluto!
Shot the scoop to start the STROBE LIGHT!
Complete all modes to start a *Party out of Bounds!*
Take a bite right out of Quiche Lorraine! Woof!
Most of these aren't even outrageous.
GG Allin is the best answer given so far.
I'll say Wendy O. Williams. God I would love a W.O.W. pinball.
Los Del Rio music pinball machine would be annoying as all get out. Especially if it only had one song used during the whole game. Macarena
My vote would be for a really great Rolling Stones music pinball machine. Using only their underground recordings. Star Star, Andrew's Blues, C*cksucker Blues, songs like that. And when you hit the start button, some of the racy things Mick would ask his German audiences.
LTG : )
ABBA - might only sell a couple in Sweden. Just imagine flipping to “Fernando”, and reaching “Dancing Queen” wizard mode.
Joan Jett and the Blackhearts might have potential, however. Black and white Playfield graphics with some color highlights.
“I love to play pinball, put another quarter in the coin slot, baby...come and take the time to flip with me!”
Both are in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, but definitely opposite sides of the spectrum.
Quoted from NoQuarters:The Bee Gees , sit that right next to the ABBA pin
Actually, you've not heard my PinSound disco orchestration I made for Getaway that uses "Stayin Alive" for the main track . . . not that bad, especially with the opening riff on loop while the ball is in the shooter lane.
Quoted from pinsanity:GG Allin.
"Dude, your pinball machine smells like shit"
Quoted from Krupps4:Weird Al Yankovic
Featuring . . .
"Eat It"
"My Bologna"
"I Lost on Jeopardy"
"Pretty Fly for a Rabbi"
"Amish Paradise"
"I Love Rocky Road"
"Couch Potato"
"Another One Rides the Bus"
"Living with a Hernia"
"Like a Surgeon"
"Smells Like Nirvana" - My #1 Wierd Al parady by far, and still every time I watch the video I see something new
. . . and more
Quoted from Percula:Clutch pin
Now this could be a good one. So many modes could be made from their songs
Escape from the prison planet
Space grass
Mob goes wild
Pure rock fury
Electric worry
And so on
Quoted from no-extra-balls:Die antwoord
Love fatty boom boom!!!
Hit’em with the Ching Ching
