The Stories Behind 5 Banned or Disowned Songs in Rock History

Coming up, we’re counting down the Top 5 songs that stirred up so much controversy, for the most part, the artists themselves won’t perform them anymore. From the Beastie Boys who actually came out and apologized years later after getting married, to the Rolling Stones who own one of rock’s greatest riffs that due to some lyrics now won’t ever be heard live again, to one Heart song Ann Wilson calls hideous and creepy, to one by the Kinks that I had to bleep out certain words while talking about it because this platform would ban it. These songs were so controversial most of their creators will not play them live.  Find out which songs made the list and the stories behind their taboo status, next on Professor of Rock.
