    Sergent Pepper was a classic album recorded by the Beatles. In a lot of senses it was a revolution:-)

    Well, I know there was a video by Radiohead that was banned by Mtv. I don't know the name of the song it was for...The video was based around this guy walking in the road and being hit by cars. He just keeps getting up and getting hit. They considered it to by too disturbing. Funny how Mtv is the judge of good tatse. Their standards are so high:-)) HAHA!! 

    If you're talking more about the buisness aspect how about here in America where the record companies got the rights to keep the ownership of master recordings not allowing artists to regain the ownership to their catalog after a number of years. Something which was before left to the contract. Normally if you would haggle enough and have great lawyers, etc.... after so many years your creation would become your property. When the law changed, your creation is the record companies for eternety. Leaving you nothing to hand down to your children. How depressing is this? Their were some great artists who were outraged and putting up a fight for the good of every artist out there. They had special hearings with the government...I'm not sure what the current state of things are...Could someone comment? The last I thought I heard was inorder for the record companies to gain support for their case against Napster they were willing to give up that law..Did that happen?
