10 The Kinks were banned from playing in the USA from 1965-1969 because they were denied permits after a conflict with the American Federation of Musicians
This sucks. This meant that their career pretty much stalled in America, and they aren't typically mentioned in the same breath as the Beatles or the Stones whenever us Americans talk about the British Invasion. Also, no one officially gave a reason why they were banned (although it was probably because of the fact that they got into fights while performing on stage).
The Contenders
