Green Day refuse to clean up their act for the country's largest retailer. Despite having the No. 1 album on the charts right now, if you look for the disc at Walmart you will be SOL.
Walmart has a long standing policy of not carrying CDs with objectionable language or content and often artist are forces to offer the retailer a "clean" version of their album if they want it to be sold at Walmart stores. Green Day refused to clean up their latest "21st Century Breakdown."
"They want artists to censor their records in order to be carried in there," frontman Billie Joe Armstrong said. "We just said no. We've never done it before. You feel like you're in 1953 or something."

So what does your taste in music convey to the opposite sex?
Classic rock. Guys who like classic-rock make great partners. They go for the normal things in life, like dinner and a movie, a two-story house in the suburbs with an SUV or station wagon, a couple of kids, and a dog.
Women who like the classics are in denial of the aging process and may have general image issues. Guys, be prepared for a lot of "Oh, you look great" pep talks throughout the relationship.
Heavy metal. Watch out for hidden anger issues with guys who like metal. The songs, the melodies, and the rhythms of heavy metal are aggressive and overpowering on purpose. You may be surprised in bed, in a good or a bad way.
Women who like metal hate their parents, and if you're a nice guy, she'll hate you, too.
Country. If a guy likes country music, chances are that he's sentimental and romantic. He's got a moral compass and clear ideas of what's right and what's wrong. He also knows that breaking hearts, and getting them broken, are part of life.
And what about women who favor this kind of music? "She's a good girl from the heartland, so you're not getting any action anytime soon," says Feinstein. "You may want to consider square-dancing lessons."
Classical. Everyone knows that single guys with huge classical music collections are uncommonly smart and sensitive.
Single women who like classical music tend to be very smart, because they often come by their interest from having mastered an instrument in their childhood years.
