10 Rock Music Songs That Got Banned From Certain Countries

10. Another Brick In The Wall - Pink Floyd (South Africa)

In 1979, Pink Floyd released one of the great rock albums in The Wall; a sprawling opera about a former rockstar who lost his mind and started to build a physical (and metaphorical) barricade around himself.

It's gone on to become one of the band's most cherished pieces of work, as well as the inspiration for a completely bonkers film three years later.

Seriously, do not watch it if you're not feeling 100%, it will melt your brain.

Serving as the album's lead single and semi-title track was Another Brick in the Wall Part 2, the section with lyrics from the much longer Another Brick in the Wall segment of the record.

The song's lyrics of "We don't need no education" famously rubbed British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher up the wrong way (which, admittedly, wasn't hard) and the track was also banned completely in South Africa.

It had become an anthem for protestors boycotting schools as part of ongoing demonstrations against the country's apartheid movement, hence why the government disavowed it in 1980.

The boycotts had been going on since the 1960s, coming to an end when apartheid was abolished in 1990.
