List of songs deemed inappropriate by Clear Channel Following the 9/11 attacks...

[Buster]

I recently came across this article.. And I have to say... for such a serious event... this looks like a total joke..

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_songs_deemed_inappropriate_by_Clear_Channe l_following_the_September_11,_2001_attacks


The Youngbloods - "Get Together" .... see what I am saying?

[Soda]

Megadeth, Metallica, Dio, Van Halen, Queen, Led Zeppelin, Jimi Hendrix, Blue Oyster Cult and Black Sabbath. Please stop the madness!

[shatterstar]

word. revenge of the country music conservatives.

[Hellblazer]

I know it's bullshit and all, but that list is so wrong.

[Zander]

heh. i see 3 doors down on there, i guess they forgot about "going down in flames"

[Megabyte]

good find!

hahahaha, I just had to go through and find all the jazz and mondo tame songs that were on there...


What a wonderful world - self explanatory
A boy from New York City - jazz/musical chorus song about a girl who likes a guy in NY
Rock the Casbah - hell if I know, but you damn well know to rock the casbah
99 Red Balloons - self explanatory
New York New York - It's Sinatra man, what more needs to be said
Wipeout - the first song I learned ot play the drums on in 5'th grade
Fly - you f*ng ROCK Super Cat


oh :) I get a kick out of this, that's for sure

Edit: heh, I especially like the note that "every song from Rage Against the Machine" is banned

[mushroom_girl]

Wow. :mellow:

I own so many of those songs, it's nuts.

[Kyir]

Great Balls of Fire?

wtf?

[Buster]

Wow. :mellow:

I own so many of those songs, it's nuts.

....terrorist...Im just kidding, we all know you couldnt be a terrorist.... well... kinda... I always thought of Jeffery when I heard terrorist... That Pic of him and the RPG....

Great Balls of Fire?

wtf?

No Idea.

[Lonely Tylenol]

I was laughing on the outside and dying on the inside until I got to L.

Stairway to Heaven was deemed inappropriate? What the hell?

As if "The End", "Dust in the Wind", "Knockin' on Heaven's Door" and any Beatles Song weren't enough... Stairway to Heaven? It's... It's Stairway to Heaven.

Then directly under it is "Imagine" by John Lennon. I feel sick. I'm not even going to try and read the rest.

Everyone involved in making this list needs to be hung, then shot, then drawn & quartered, then fed to hounds.

[shatterstar]

Imagine isnt even american. sodding wankers.

feed 'em to the scorpions, i say. even my dog likes imagine.

and in a masterclass of irony, Imagine was the last song played at Time Square this new year before the ball dropped. and the ONLY song played in over 8.5 hours which everyone knew.

and what the hell does Lucy in the Sky with diamonds have to do with anything other than LSD?

most of those haven;t even been heard before being banned. they just got banz0red on the name.

Yup... aint it sad... think of the the music we are missing.. T-T

[Worker]

Yup... aint it sad... think of the the music we are missing.. T-TI hear some of those songs all the time, and I believe on clear channel stations. Remember that is a wiki.

[shatterstar]

y'all need to remember to read. its says recommended for bannage. not that it was actually banz0red.

edit: Simon and Garfunkel are on that list. Those guys are the most G-rated musicians ever.

[Daemon Bloodmaw]

They blocked Mudvayne's Death Blooms but not Dig? It's freaking Dig, haha. :p

Was listening to L.D. 50 on the way home tonight to keep me awake :coolpunk:

Anyways, I feel that music can be incredibly therapeutic, so banning certain songs, with the exception of a few blatantly upsetting songs, would be a poor choice. Glad they didn't.

[Scorpionz]

The Northen Territory news was mentioned?

WTF!

Thats...The...Paper...I...Read.


Whats up with these songs? The Beatles? Come on.

Stairway to Heaven? Thats crazy. Smoke on the Water?


Let's make a bounty hunt for these people.

[inked]

Bobby Darin
Frank Sinatra
Louis Armstrong


LOLOL.
