All of these songs are banned by Clearchannel.
After reading this, you'll know why I hate the FCC.

Alot of the songs that are listed on there, local Clearchannel station 100.5 WTFX still plays...

It's sorta like giving your boss the finger and then you continue on working...

There are quite a few on that list that I can't see any reason not to play, but maybe I'm not reading anything too deeply into the lyrics

LollipopLustKil · 27th March 2004, 15:48

A few of them are played by 103.9 the X here as well. Some stations ignore it yes, but soon they will be in trouble for doing that.

Alot of the songs I see no reason for banning, Clearchannel is fucked up like that.

Some of the songs listed are songs that Clear Channel decided shouldn't be played after 9/11. They were afraid of offending people. But, the radio stations here (KBPI, The Fox, Alice 105.9) still play them anyway. Censorship is just stupid, especially over some of the songs they have listed. If they're going to do that then pretty soon they won't be able to play anything.

All Rage Against The Machine songs

How ironic that to promote patriotism they take away one of the most basic rights.

jonasc1 · 27th March 2004, 21:23

what is clearchanel and FCC?

MidnightViper88 · 27th March 2004, 21:53

In a nutshell...

The FCC is the top dog when it comes to public censorship in the media...

Clear Channel is a media and entertainment buisness group/corperation...

I wanted to cry when it said 'All Rage Against the Machine songs'

AC/DC "Safe in New York City"
REM "It's the End of the World as We Know It"
Alanis Morissette "Ironic"
Led Zeppelin "Stairway to Heaven"
Don McLean "American Pie"
The Clash "Rock the Casbah"
Third Eye Blind "Jumper"
Alice in Chains "Rooster"
Everclear "Santa Monica"
Soundgarden "Black Hole Sun"

Why?

P.S. Anyone else find it ironic that American Pie made the list

This one doesn't make sense, it talkes about how safe it is in New York, a sense of false security perhaps

Quote:

REM "It's the End of the World as We Know It"

Oh, i don't know, the it's end of the world and i feel fine (plus explosions and crashing planes

Quote:

Alanis Morissette "Ironic"

As the Plane crashes dow, he thinks "Well isn't this nice" another dumb crashing plane refence

Quote:

Led Zeppelin "Stairway to Heaven"

No idea here

Quote:

Don McLean "American Pie"

Oh, I dunno is this the day that you die?

Quote:

The Clash "Rock the Casbah"

Something about a shiek, oil and a king dropping bombs

Quote:

Third Eye Blind "Jumper"

Hmm, telling a guy to step back from a ledge and cut his ties from the past

Quote:

Alice in Chains "Rooster"

a Vietnam soldier war story?

Quote:

Everclear "Santa Monica"

oh look, a song about someone trying to forget about his/her SO

Quote:

Soundgarden "Black Hole Sun"

dunno, got me

Gotta agree, alot of these seem pretty dumb

REM "It's the End of the World as We Know It"
As we know it is key here. Not the end of everything, only change.

Alanis Morissette "Ironic"
Can't really judge a song based on one line...

Don McLean "American Pie"
It's a song about a life without music, not dying.

Third Eye Blind "Jumper"
So trying to give someone a positive outlook on life is a bad thing because they are considering to kill themselves?

Rellik · 31st March 2004, 04:18

I was mostly being sarcastic and playing devil's advocate there..

But I do like all of those songs, and like I say, it is really dumb and I almost question the authenticity of this list.

as a sidenote, the station I listen is thankfully not a Clearchannel station.

[edit]
AH-HA It IS false! (at least the "banned" part)

[edit2]Well, on further reading, it appears it was a list put together by a pinhead exec that "advised" radio stations that those songs could be questionable
