Removed from Walmart stores - A Riddle This is a classic:
"Perhaps the first INSTRUMENTAL album to be removed from Wal-Mart's shelves for unacceptable lyric content, this was also 1987's Grammy winner for Best Rock Instrumental Album. " Ain't that fantastic? Which album / artist am I talking about? DO NOT GOOGLE! (I'm sure you won't)...  | |

Was it some offensive instrumental song titles? 
Ahh this is soooo Rock N Roll Jeopardy. I once did a research essay on Censorship and learned about all those Walmart decisions... but the name now escapes me. | |

Is that actually the same as todays "Explicit Lyrics" sticker? Yeah that's the one. Her group invented it, and since Walmart decided they wouldn't carry any titles with it on there, it was like organized censorship, since Walmart has a huge share in total records sold. | |
