The Sex Pistols – God Save the Queen (1977)
Punk rock fans worship The Sex Pistols thanks to their rebellious attitude, one which made the people over at A&M’s lives incredibly difficult. Let’s just say that The Sex Pistols raised heck in the A&M studios! Their destructive treatment of the label’s property caused them to retaliate by eradicating their God Save the Queen record from existence. A small number of these records survived the purge, which can today be purchased for more than $8,600.

U2 – Pride (In The Name Of Love) (1984)
U2 experts reported that only 50 prints of the band’s hit single, In The Name Of Love, were created. If you consult the Rolling Stones list of ‘greatest songs ever made’, this one comes in 388th. Incredibly, U2’s lead singer and frontman, Bono, shirks off such praise, as he did not appreciate the released track. The emotive song describes the tragic and horrifying murder of Martin Luther King and the efforts of the Civil Rights Movement in general. One print goes for $9,000 today.
