00:0010 Legendary Songs You Didn't Know Were Banned By Their Creators

00:04Number 10 The Beatles' Tomorrow Never Knows

00:09Producer George Martin called the track unrepeatable due to its pioneering use of tape loops and

00:13effects.

00:15This innovation hindered live performances with 1960s technology confining Tomorrow Never

00:19Knows to Abbey Road Studios.

00:22Number 9 The Rolling Stones' Brown Sugar

00:26For 50 years, Brown Sugar thrilled the Rolling Stones' audiences.

00:30In 2021, societal conversations on its slavery references led to its removal from set lists.

00:37Number 8 Led Zeppelin – Stairway to Heaven

00:41Ranked among Rock's greatest, Stairway to Heaven suffered from its success.

00:45After a 2007 reunion, Robert Plant banned it, frustrated by overwhelming expectations.

00:51Number 7 Pink Floyd – Fearless

00:55Despite its devoted fanbase, Fearless never translated to Pink Floyd's elaborate live

01:00shows.

01:01Its subtle nature clashed with the band's dramatic spectacles.

01:05Roger Waters performed it solo, but full Pink Floyd's shows lacked it.

01:10Number 6 David Bowie – The Boulay Brothers

01:14Bowie rarely performed The Boulay Brothers, possibly due to personal links with his half-brother.

01:20Number 5 Eagles – My Man

01:23Bernie Ledon's tribute to Graham Parsons vanished from set lists when he left in 1975.

01:29My Man was too personal to continue.

01:32Number 4 Guns N' Roses – One in a Million

01:36The infamous lyrics, packed with slurs and xenophobic references, ensured One in a Million would

01:41never see a live stage.

01:43It's been expunged from Guns N' Roses' catalog, even recent reissues.

01:49Number 3 Queen – The Show Must Go On

01:53Freddie Mercury's declining health prevented Queen from performing The Show Must Go On while

01:57he was alive.

01:59After his death, its poignant meaning was overwhelming.

02:02The first notable live version came in 1997 with Elton John.

02:07Number 2 ACDC – It's a Long Way to the Top

02:11This early ACDC signature was retired from live shows following Bon Scott's death in 1980.

02:19Bryan Johnson, the successor, never performed it live, treating it as sacred ground.

02:24The decision speaks to the band's respect for their fallen frontman.

02:28Number 1 Radiohead – Creep

02:31While not completely abandoned, Creep disappeared from Radiohead set lists for extended periods

02:37as the band grew to resent being defined by its popularity.

02:40The song represented a creative phase they'd outgrown and performing it felt like artistic

02:45regression.

02:46The title of the show notes is the main event.

02:51The song is called Michael.

02:54He is throwing his feet in the language, meaning he was the first,

02:57and the other one was on the track.

02:58The second one was making

03:01the time it was on the track.

03:03He was showing.

03:05He was showing.

03:07The time he was showing.

03:10The time he was showing.
