The Sex Pistols – God Save the Queen (1977)
The already shaky relationship between The Sex Pistols and their former label, A&M, quickly deteriorated into absolute anarchy when the punk rockers decided that they hated one another. In true Sex Pistols fashion, the boys went about making the A&M executives’ lives a living hell. The label, in response, declared that the band’s most famous album, God Save the Queen, should be obliterated. Thankfully, a few copies survived somehow, and today go for over $8,600!

U2 – Pride (In The Name Of Love) (1984)
It is said that U2’s single, In The Name Of love, enjoyed just 50 record copies. Rolling Stone went so far as to list it as the ‘388th greatest song ever made.’ Amazingly, Bono does not accept such recognition, stating that he was unhappy with the final product. This is quite a powerful song thematically, referencing the assassination of Martin Luther King and the civil rights movement. Even if Bono is sour about this track, collectors aren’t, being happy to pay $9,000 for a copy!
