Music banned on US radio broadcasts

Trev M

I briefly heard during sinister Pete's show yesterday that some tunes where banned on "Clear something" I was wondering if anyone has the list ..ironically Bush was one of songs and they are changing "speed kills" to "People that we love", also
Walk like an Egyptian, I share Petes dismay ...anyway I got interupted and didn't hear the full list so if someone did or knows where to get it please post here...I think its very strange indeed!!

Thanks - Trev

i have heard that stairway to heaven by led zep and highway to hell by ac/dc leaving on a jet plane were all on the list........no sarcasism involved really

Jen.Jen

What are they gonna do next.....? Wrap the whole f.ucking nation up in cotton wool.....

anony

Bush should be banned anyway.....and take that "How to form a grunge band" booklet off them...they've already lent it papa roach, creed and staind

o sleep

don't know if this is the full list, but:

(particularly liked "all rage against the machine songs")

for a full 'explanation' (and the list itself, again) go here: http://slate.msn.com/code/chatterbox/chatterbox.asp?Show=9/17/2001&idMessage=8314

some of them are quite odd suggestions, i mean cat stevens??? is this just because he's turned muslim???

I think "It's The End of the World As We Know It" is a grand song to be playing at this time - the news are calling it "the day the world changed forever" so you might say the world we knew doesn't exist. Plus it's good as an anti-terrorist and anti-america bombing the Middle East song.

"Imagine" is a ****ing rediculous inclusion maybe because some of the things he says in the song might hit a nerve with some Americans (aside from the terrorist attack)

And the inclusion of Walk like an Egyptian is just racism - Egyptians can't be mentioned because their skin is a similar colour to that of the terrorists? Even if the song was called "walk like a muslim" it still shouldn't be banned - most of them aren't evil suicide bombers.

Well actually if you read some of the lyrics, it appears M. Stipe and not O. Bin Laden is the real mastermind behind the attack.. examples...

Thats gret it starts with an earth quake, birds, snakes and AEROPLANES.

vitriotic, patriotic, slam, fight, right, might...feelin pretty psyched.

Six o'clock - TV hour. Don't get caught in foreign towers.

A government for hire and a combat site (pentagon?)

Coming in a hurry (the aeroplane)

Mountains sit in a line (Bin Laden's hideout)

Ah there's nothing offensive in it - a reference to a plane and a tower - so what? Sure we've seen nothing on telly but footage of the planes crashing into the towers. Should that footage be banned as insensitive too?


I'll bet they'll never show the
Simpsons episode where they go to New York unless they rebuild the towers

dccarm

Sure we've seen all this before during the Gulf War anyway. I didn't see it on the list, but I'm guessing The Cure 'Killing an Arab' is another one to be pushed to the back of the record box. You can understand the arguments that it might upset the relatives of the victims, but since they can see turn on the telly at any time of the day and watch the planes smashing into the buildings it all seems a bit pointless really.

Cheers o sleep , pretty big list ??

Personally think its way over the top but there ya go!!

kayos

Well Music aint the only thing being effected a load of films have been put on hold due to it including Spiderman cause it has the WTC with a web between the towers and a plane/hellicopter fling into it. The station you are talking about is Clear View (me thinks) I was listening to it over there and it is fairly crap anyway .

scribe

I recall the email I received the night before from a radio station manager in Michigan. He passed on to me a confidential memo from the radio conglomerate that owns his station: Clear Channel, the company that has bought up 1,200 stations altogether -- 247 of them in the nation's 250 largest radio markets -- and that not only dominates the Top 40 format, but controls 60% of all rock-radio listening.

The company has ordered its stations not to play a list of 150 songs during this "national emergency." The list, incredibly, includes "Bridge Over Troubled Water," "Peace Train," and John Lennon's "Imagine." Rah-rah war songs, though, are OK.

And then there was this troubling instruction: "No songs by Rage Against the Machine should be aired." The entire works of a band are banned? Is this the freedom we fight for? Or does this sound like one of those repressive dictatorships we are told is our new enemy?

The song the college DJ goes ahead and plays is, "Hey, War Pig," by Katrina and the Waves, and he dedicates it to the "all the war mongers out there." Yes, there is hope, the kids are all right.

Sinsey

Hummm - what I find most distressing about all this is its the perfect time to get some really trashy pop music banned but they haven't made it on to the list - I'm sure some one could find Britney Hit me Baby one more time, or Westlife Flying without wings offensive but they’re not mentioned at all.

I’m trying to think of a Boyzone song that could be added but luckily none of their songs are particularly memorable – but there must be more.

Anyone any suggestions???

S.x

i heard that they have to re shoot the whole ending of the spiderman film because it features a web between the two towers and spiderman scales it and then fights on the roof.
also on all the almerican shows that have little cut aways between scenes of new york of old have to be reshoot.
there just removing the whole f.u.c.k.i.n.g. memory of it ever being there just like in...........1984 by george orwell
