40. Manic Street Preachers: 'Journal For Plague Lovers' (2009) – Four major UK supermarkets censored the Manics' latest album upon its release after they deemed it too offensive for shoppers. The stores claimed that the red on the Jenny Saville painting looks like blood, despite the fact it's actually an image of a young girl with a birthmark. The band were angered by the decision, with singer James Dean Bradfield saying: "You can have lovely shiny buttocks and guns everywhere in the supermarket on covers of magazines and CD's, but you show a piece of art and people just freak out.” Fair point.
