    what a ***** list, ***** clearchannel.
  • Dumprun, on 03/31/2008, -1/+110Where can I buy the CD?
  • gr33k, on 03/31/2008, -1/+69ClearChannel's board and whoever created the list is obviously brain damaged how are these lyrics inappropriate?

    "The colours of the rainbow, so pretty in the sky
    Are also on the faces of people going by
    I see friends shaking' hands, saying' "How do you do?"
    They're really saying "I love you" "

    That's a sample of lyrics from "What a Wonderful World"
  • tomboy501, on 03/31/2008, -8/+73Judas Priest – "Some Heads Are Gonna Roll".

    This is ridiculous. I wonder how many man hours went into putting this together back then? Weren't there more important things going on post-9/11? This could possibly be the most Big Brother thing I've ever seen
  • dforty3, on 03/31/2008, -11/+72I find Clear Channel inappropriate. I dedicate this song to them....

  • BoneheadFarker, on 03/31/2008, -1/+51On the list:

    Alien Ant Farm – "Smooth Criminal"

    I guess MJ has better lawyers...
  • mykool, on 03/31/2008, -1/+49who wants to form a band that just covers songs on this list?
  • Tomboys, on 03/31/2008, -1/+45Stairway to Heaven??????
  • inactive, on 03/31/2008, -1/+413 ***** entities controlling ALL of our media should be deemed "Inappropriate"
  • Dominatus, on 03/31/2008, -6/+46How is this big brother at all? Have you even read 1984?

    This wasn't the government, this was a private company exercising *their* right to self-censor. Don't you love freedom? Furthermore, there were important things to do post 9/11, but what exactly do the people at ClearChannel have to do? They're a radio company.

    For the record, I absolutely hate ClearChannel, but I also love freedom, and that includes the freedom to be a douchebag, like ClearChannel does over and over and over.
  • hs112186, on 03/31/2008, -5/+39lol "outkast - bombs over baghdad" isnt on the list?

  • Genshinx, on 03/31/2008, -0/+25I'm proud to say you have no taste in music.
  • SilentJay74, on 03/31/2008, -3/+28Jesus dude, I used to work for Clear Channel Communications a long time ago. I could see their stupidty back then, glad I moved on.
  • Falldog, on 03/31/2008, -2/+27Better: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F4ajZ-5kTXk (No, not RickRoll)
  • inactive, on 03/31/2008, -9/+34born sinner,

    remember when I used to eat sardines for dinner.

    Biggie Smalls, what a rapper.
  • Bukowsky, on 03/31/2008, -1/+25Foo Fighters – "Learn to Fly"

    Are you serious??!?
  • crazycarlmar, on 03/31/2008, -0/+23...and Peace Train by Cat Steven, and Imagine by John Lennon. What the ***** is up with that?
  • inactive, on 03/31/2008, -1/+24ask bush
  • DeskFlyer, on 03/31/2008, -2/+24Looks like someone didn't get the memo.
  • jjremy, on 03/31/2008, -1/+23How could IMAGINE, a song of HOPE be banned after a tragedy?
    also, only one Dylan song? Not even Masters Of War? Come on now, Bob deserve more respect then that!
  • hydroplane, on 03/31/2008, -6/+28Further proof that clear channel is evil.
  • brjohnson789, on 03/31/2008, -1/+23"In the Air Tonight" by Phil Collins??? No wonder I was depressed after 9/11, I never heard this song on any CC radio stations!
  • GhostyBoy, on 03/31/2008, -1/+22Makes me like Rage a whole lot more (if that's even possible).
  • bamafun, on 03/31/2008, -3/+22clear channel is crazy !!!
  • bjornski, on 03/31/2008, -0/+19If you can't figure that out, please don't vote.
  • damnclem, on 03/31/2008, -0/+19I think the comment about Biggie's Juicy refers to the line in the song,

    Now I'm in the limelight, cause I rhyme tight
    Time to get payed, blow up like the world trade

    But this part of the song has been censored since before the 9/11 attacks. So that's not really too surprising that Clear Channel didn't put it on the list. Though, as big a douchebags as they are, it's a little surprising.
  • pintomp3, on 03/31/2008, -3/+21so Immortal Technique - "Bin Laden" is ok to play?
  • Dumbledorito, on 03/31/2008, -2/+19Wait, they nixed Blue Oyster Cult's "Burnin' for You," but apparently, "Don't Fear the Reaper" was A-Okay? I love it when small minds start trying to be decisive in the first place, especially when they're inconsistant.

    I'm also surprised these wardens of sensitivity didn't nail "It's Raining Men."
  • spyderbc, on 03/31/2008, -0/+16No Stairway!?!? Denied!
  • Aslan72, on 03/31/2008, -0/+16This is so old that dirt looks young. I remember seeing this in the weeks following the attacks and found this on snopes a few years later:

  • Spartan225, on 03/31/2008, -0/+16Because you might be shaking hands with the enemy, and in doing so allowing them to come into your country and beginning their terrorist ways. SMH

    When I saw that song on the list I literally laughed out loud.
  • jdh24, on 03/31/2008, -1/+17Bye bye "Bye bye Ms American Pie"
  • Gryffydd, on 03/31/2008, -2/+16Morning Has Broken by Cat Stevens? That song is in my church hymnal for crying out loud.
  • cubicz, on 03/31/2008, -16/+30URBAN LEGEND!

    http://www.snopes.com/rumors/radio.htm

    bury for innacuracy
  • danielsan1701, on 03/31/2008, -3/+17I don't think that was getting any radio play to begin with.
  • oxygen911, on 03/31/2008, -1/+14I love how Tom Petty's "Free Fallin", a song about Los Angeles culture, is on there.

    It's obvious an intern came up with this list in a day looking at song titles alone.
  • ngmcs8203, on 03/31/2008, -2/+14Comment abuse from below:
    This was an urban legend. Bury it as so.
