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

You know, I have no idea. Maybe they only recently changed policy?

This list is BS... now. If the ban ever existed in the first place, it's no longer upheld. Some of these songs are played in San Diego by a Clear Channel station no less.

John Lennon "Imagine"

*smack*

This proves its BS.

Wow. They even have the Chi-Lites on there.

I remember hearing about this about a year ago. The running theory was that since it was obvious a war with someone in the ME was on the way, anti-war songs would be deemed unpatriotic.

Because they love the Almighty Dollar. Still, they chose Christian right wingers over him, so its hardly unreasonable to say they pander to them just because they once had him.

I don't know if this list was ever really enforced at all, honestly; I specifically remember hearing one of those shitty Metallica songs on a local Clear Channel station as early as October 2001.

I expect it was a very very short-lived thing, only for people to get over the immediate shock.

What, they haven't banned any Nirvana songs? This is an insult to grunge fans everywhere!

Indeed, 97.9 played 'Harvester of Sorrow' on monday as I recall.

Still kinda pissed at them for taking Bubba's show off in the mornings but all the other stations around here are either clear channel owned like 98 rock or just plain suck (or both).

The thread title and OP are misleading, as they make no mention that these songs were banned by Clear Channel from its own stations.

Anyway, this list is obsolete by now. I know I've heard some of those songs on local Clear Channel stations. My guess is that these were taken off playlists for the first few days after, probably because CC was afraid of evoking too much of an emotional reaction in listeners. "Imagine," for exampe, was widely sung at the candlelight memorials in New York afterwards. It was probably taken of the air not because it's commie propaganda, but because some CC exec didn't want drivers listening the radio breaking down crying on the highway--and changing the station.

I wonder if anyone will read your post. Sure as hell nobody read mine that said the same thing.

I read it, and I agree.

Clear Channel sucks despite the fact that they didn't keep this ban for very long. For that matter, the idea of any single corporation owning so many goddamned radio stations is disturbing; why isn't there some kind of government oversight on this?

It was never a ban but rather some obnoxious jackass manager making suggestions. Never upheld. And of course this list has been much added to.

Because they've been protecting us from the scourge of naked boobie and bad language, duh.

you dont like Imagine?!?!?! its a very good song

anyways the list is flawed, ive heard many of those songs on the radio since. All those Elton John songs ive heard just recently and the Billy Joel Songs as well.

Now the new list. TV episodes banned. 1. Simpsons. The City of NY vs. Homer Simpson "i have mountain dew and crab juice" "oh god, uhhh, eww, ill take the crab juice"
