When Frankie Goes to Hollywood released their sexually-charged track 'Relax', it shocked the nation thanks to its suggestive lyrics and BDSM-themed visuals. The outraged BBC banned it at once, 30 years ago today (January 11) - and obviously and inevitably, secured the track's success.

We've taken a look at other controversial songs that were banned on radio, TV, or even some entire countries since 'Relax' first caused a stir three decades ago.

From Eminem to Cliff Richard, Queens Of The Stone Age to George Michael, Rick Ross to Robin Thicke and  here are 13 of the tracks that followed in Frankie Goes to Hollywood's footsteps in the last 30 years.
