    This is a complete list of "lyrically inappropriate" songs being banned from several US radio stations in the wake of the attacks.

    "It's very dangerous," says Nina Crowley, director of MassMic, a music free-speech organization. "I understand they're pulling certain violent songs. But you put out a list of songs like this, and the next thing you know someone's pulling the albums off the shelves in Wal-Mart."

    APRIL----THANK YOU----MUCH MORE MARCHIN' IS NEEDED
    Violent songs---People look at this list---there is so many
    about Peace and Love. Yes April if you haven't notice THEY
    have taken over WATCH and LISTEN to the news. Last
    night a pundit with views such as mine was cut off and told
    WE don't want to talk about that. The biggest thing attacked
    on 9-11 was the MONEY men. Very few men run our MEDIA
    they are all rich and they are all MAD at the "Russians" like
    the government wants.

    April I think this is important for more to see you should
    post it on the big board----Love Mark

    April, PLEASE POST any stations you hear of along with their owners and affiliates who are going along with this ban. They'll not get my ad dollar. Be sure to pass this info along to any business owner you may come in contact with.

    Just in from NPR: The president just signed the orders sending 100 war planes to Middle East. We're in deep shit now.

    lol.. good point.

    Outside of artistic expression and certain times where profanity makes the point better than anything else, and sometimes where it has comedic value, I generally find its use rather classless, so I choose to censor myself sometimes. I just dislike others making my choices for me

    Seven, it seems it's Clear Channel Radio. They own more than 1200 stations, but seem to have backtracked now, and it was only a "suggestion." Wonder how that happened?

    "The nation's biggest radio station chain said it had 'suggested' a list of songs that its stations might avoid playing after last week's devastating attacks on America but said it had not banned any music.

    A spokeswoman for Clear Channel Radio, which owns more than 1,200 AM and FM stations nationwide, said the list contained fewer than 150 songs. She declined to specify which tunes were included.

    Copies of the purported list posted on various Web sites encompassed a wide range of music, much of it apparently included because of their titles. Among them were hard-rocking AC/DC hits like ``TNT'' and ``Highway to Hell,'' the Bangles' pop-friendly ``Walk Like an Egyptian,'' Led Zeppelin's classic ''Stairway to Heaven'' and even such mellow tunes as ``Dust in the Wind'' by Kansas, John Lennon's ``Imagine,'' James Taylor's ``Fire and Rain'' and ``Leavin' on a Jet Plane'' by Peter, Paul & Mary.

    The San Antonio-based radio station chain, a unit of Clear Channel Communications Inc., issued a statement saying contrary to reports on the Internet and other media, ``Clear Channel Radio has not banned any songs from any of its radio stations.''

    ``Each program director and general manager must take the pulse of his or her market to determine if play lists should be altered, and if so, for how long,'' the company said.

    The original list was circulated by Jack Evans, vice president of programming for Clear Channel Radio's Western Division, to program directors and station managers from Denver to the West Coast, company spokesman Pam Taylor told Reuters."

    Why won't they ever ban songs by the boy bands? I think it would be very healthy for this country if we were never subjected to 'Nsync, Backstreet boys...ick all those!

    Hmmm....maybe this is the real reason that religious extremist hate the US. Think of all the evil boy band music that the US has unleashed on the world!!!

    Path...I understand....I was just messing with ya! It's just that with all the sh** happening, that word seems more than appropriate.

    Eyebrow, I totally agree! I can't even tell them apart! And I'm kind of disappointed with the first "stars" on Michael J's list for the song to help the victims. I mean, Britney??? ick. Justin Timberlake? gag. Destiny's Child?? Commercial pap.
    I was hoping for some "meatier" stars, like when they did We Are The World. Oh well, maybe the list will get better....

    crossroads, I agree. We thought we had BIG BROTHER before???????!!!!
    HAHAHAHAHA
    I forsee the year 2025---implanted chips behind your ear!!! Yeah, so I like the X-Files!
