Due to the ingrained political correctness in the American culture there are certain musical compositions that are essentially banned from American radio. Here is my short list with brief explanationa of why I think they are "banned." This an effort to lighten things up around here so join the fun and add your own.
"When A Man Loves a Woman" - Percy Sledge. Obviously, this song offends homosexuals and "animal lovers."
"I'd Love To Change The World" Alvin Lee and Ten Years After. While this tune is a tribute to socialism as it seems to be promoting "tax the rich, feed the poor, til there are no rich no more," It also uses the phrase "dikes and fairies" and we all know that when liberal themes collide, gayness wins out. So no radio for this one anymore.
"The Game of Love" - Mindbenders. This song has the Lifetime Achievement award for political incorrectness as it contains the phrase "the purpose of a man is to love a Woman and the purpose of a woman is to love a man" (!) Heresy against the Church of Political Correctness! Oh my! It doesn't get more hate filled than that.
"Out Go The Lights" by Pat Travers anyone?
So, you make everybody poor, then who's going to feed 'em? Morons.
Wow.
The good old days when white boys could sing politically incorrect songs, too.
Happiness is a warm gun?
To be fair, I've never heard this on the radio to begin with.
Soylent Green is socialism.
- "Lots of people talking, few of then know, Soul of a woman was created below"
Nobody's Fault but Mine - Led Zeppelin
Offensive title, it's always someone else's fault in Liberal la la land
London Calling - The Clash
- "The Ice Age is coming..."
Exxon Mobil Denier propaganda!!!!
Love Is A Loaded Gun
(And it shoots to kill)
Funny - my mom once chided me - “Of all the crap you play on the radio that’s the worst. I’ll not have it in my house!”
It was everywhere in the early 70s, along with Magic Carpet Ride and Snowblind Friend.
/screamin’ night ‘mander
:)
Yeah, no thanks. Gives me indigestion.
Tull’s Stormwatch album is ice age centric.
:D
I heard all the others on the radio, just not that one. Of course, I grew up in a small Idaho town. They'd likely have burned down the station had they played that. ;-)
Old “Professor Longhair”, not many people remember him, but he’s a favorite of mine :)
Never heard this on the radio but I’ll include “Just Another Nervous Wreck” by Supertramp. Here’s part of the chorus:
Don’t give a damn.
Fight while you can.
Kill, shoot ‘em up.
They’ll, they’ll run amuck.
It also has the lyrics, “They’re gonna bleed, that’s what they need. We’ll get together & blow their cover”.
“Breakfast in America” was an outstanding album.
Happy Birthday! - It celebrates LIFE :)
Especially Hillary Clinton! (Remember her “dig” of it in 1992?)
Money for nothing is Either banned or censored with the faggot line
Dirty Jobs by The Who - Quadrophenia
“If you complain you’ll disappear, just like the lesbians and queers”.
LOL
Here in Hillbilly Heaven, all we had was AM radio for a long time.
They went rogue fairly often.
