    I Am the Walrus - The Beatles (1967)
    The Beatles managed to get the BBC's knickers in a knot with this track, for mentioning, well... knickers. The lines "pornographic priestess" and "let your knickers down" were deemed inappropriate and the record banned.

    "The Ballad of John and Yoko" was also banned, because of the line, "Christ, you know it ain't easy."
