dialectics Posted September 19 Report Share Posted September 19 FYI: it was _worse_ then outright banning the songs. the list was circulated by the heads of clear channel (the despicable and disreputable owner of the marjority of mainstream radio stations in the US) not outright banning the songs, but basically "suggesting" that they should not be played. thus, if your station _does_ play any of these songs, expect your job not to exist by tomorrow. you can legally fight "banning" a song as part of your first amendment rights, but when corporate muscle is involved it is all perfectly legal. also, note that "all rage against the machine songs" are banned. i haven't listened to them in a while, but it is a shame that in a time where we _need_ people to be thinking about what this country is about to do from _all_ sides, any opposition to "we stand by our president" is blacklisted.rob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xpander Posted September 19 Report Share Posted September 19 They're not banned. Clear channel, being the owners of 90% of the damn stations in the country, has decided that those songs aren't suitable for public broadcast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest saleen351 Posted September 19 Report Share Posted September 19 clear channel owns q104.3 NYC classic rock station, and they play almost all of those songs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crobra Posted September 19 Report Share Posted September 19 This is just ludicrous, are these songs banned because of the twc attack or is this a lifetime ban? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roadrunner Posted September 19 Report Share Posted September 19 I can't think of a more appropriate song than Black Sabbath's 'War Pigs.' Okay, maybe 'Killing Yourself to Live.' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

teklord310 Posted September 20 Report Share Posted September 20 Ever see the video for Prodigy - Smack My Bitch Up. I have it on my computer, MTV banned it after playing it once. That is one sick and twisted video, if you haven't seen it go out and find it. It's all about the last 10 seconds of it when everything comes together.

sirdante Posted September 20 Report Share Posted September 20 clear channel did *not* ban these songs. nor did they suggest that they *not* be played.the list was made at clearchannels corporate headquarters so that program directors at 100s of stations did not have to sit down and make a list themselves. there was no indication that the songs should not be played. rather, it was simply a list of every song that might be relative to the events of sept 11. many media outlets (all movie companies, every tv station, etc) are looking at some of the stuff they offer to make sure that they arent being total clods with what they present. after all, when 5000 ppl die in a burning building, "burning down the house" might be considered poor taste.take it easy. not everything is a big corporate conspiracy.

dialectics Posted September 20 Report Share Posted September 20 please see salon.com's coverage of clear channel, specifically W.R.T. the lawsuit that has recently been filed against them alleging monopolistic practices. we have laws in this country to proctect enterprises like clear channel from engaging in anticompetitive behavior under the guise of free enterprise, and i personally would be glad to see them eradicated. (it needs to be said that salon.com is a media organization just like any other and is thus susceptible to bias and personal opinion. seek out the facts)rob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
