Neil Young - This Note’s for You The video was banned by MTV and upset people with a Michael Jackson look-a-like.

Serge Gainsbourg and Jane Birkin - Je T’aime ... Moi Non Plus French lessons were never like this at school.

Billie Holiday - Strange Fruit A beautiful song about a truly horrific subject that many believe was banned unjustly.
