Who banned them? What the hell? It's just a list of songs, big deal. Fade To Black having 'questionable' lyrics? Fuck's sake. Someone needs to grow up.

a radio company called "Clear Channel" it runs 97.1 in Washington and a number of stations in the US.

Although I don't like "Imagine" I have to wonder why that made the ban list... probably thought of as 'subversive' trash. :lol:

What? Clear Channel banned those songs? The only two radio stations I listen to have nothing to play any more, then. That strips them of most of thier music....

I don't think it'll last...

I find myself wondering how long this ban lasted (I'm assuming this was a past thing). I've only heard some of those songs, but it seems reasonable not to play some of them for a few days after a big tragedy or something. Obviously three years is pushing it.

*EDIT* Judging from the lack of some newer songs that I'd definately think would be on the list, I'm sure it's an over-and-done-with thing.

Just a personal reaction. Something about it speaks of hypocrisy. Plus, I just in general feel that Lennon and the rest of the Beatles are overrated. I don't really like their music.

I dont listen to clear channel communications (radio), if at all possible. there are no less than two stations here in J-ville that are virtual clones of one another playing top-40 (One will play a Toad The Wet Sprocket song once a week, which is what differentiates it) and they pimp only what the hell they want to pimp. It's great. because you can go 500 miles in any direction, and, while the call letters and station number changes, the music does not. *yay* Same with country music. Bite my ass, Clear Channel.


I'm going to buy a radio station one day, and it's clal letters are going to be my last name (KLIX) and it will be POWER 98.5 KLIX-FM, Tacoma, Olympia, Kent! I will play whatever the hell I want. I will air requests like this:

"Power 98"
"Yeah, man...I wanna request some Korn"
"Yeah?"
"Yeah, man."
"Tough. Amish Paradise, Coming up!"

Agree with the overrated part. On hypocrisy, though, I'd rather call it 'unrealistic dreams'.

According to Snopes, they never outright banned the songs, but a program director suggested that stations not play those songs because they're "insensitive".

Heh, I remember lists like this about three years back. :lol:

Obviously a perfect chance to supress commie-faggot-atheist-satanic propaganda like "Imagine". :P

This thread reminds me of how some movies like "The Seige" fell out of existence for a while after September 11th. But...'Walk Like An Egyptian?' That's not even the right continent...

Clear Channel is the group that took Howard Stern off the air in multiple locations (including my local station, REAL Radio 104.1) not too long ago. They just like to pander to the easily-offended conservative Christian mentality, IMO.

Anyway, as the snopes link up there said, these aren't BANNED per se, you just weren't (aren't?) supposed to play them. I doubt the list is still being added to, nor will there be any penalties for playing the songs on the list currently.

:-P I don't care though, as I don't listen to the radio.

If that's true, why the heck did they ever have Stern to begin with?
