1969 - George Harrison

2013 - David Bowie

David Bowie's latest video, which starred Gary Oldman and Marion Cotillard, was temporarily pulled from YouTube over its graphic content. "The Next Day" featured heavy religious imagery, including Cotillard bleeding from stigmata marks. The video sees Bowie performing in a basement bar, surrounded by religious figures, while Oldman, dressed as a priest, punches a beggar before dancing with a prostitute, played by Oscar-winner Cotillard. YouTube admitted making the "wrong call" in removing the video, and reinstated it with an adult content warning.
WARNING THE FOLLOWING VIDEO IS DEEMED "EXPLICIT" 
and is posted here to illustrate the argument only

Personally I find nothing 'explicit' about it and Gary Oldman and Marion Cotillard excel in this what is after all a pop video! Judge for yourselves
