This is an update to the FR thread based upon an MSNBC story from yesterday which only cited a few artists did not include a specific song list

Here's yesterday's thread

Musicians don’t want tunes used for torture (Musicians admit their music is torture)

The list is also included in an updated Fox News / AP article, not posted here because Fox / AP stories are subject to severe editing.

“Other bands and artists whose music has been frequently played at US detention sites are Aerosmith, Britney Spears, Christina Aguilera, Don McLean, Lil’ Kim, Limp Bizkit, Meat Loaf, Rage Against the Machine, Red Hot Chili Peppers and Tupac Shakur.”

With the exception of Don McLean, yes, those artists are torture to ANYONES’ ears!

They're using Rage Against the Machine?!?! Cool! Besides the fact that they're a bunch of communist supporting, America hating ass-hats, the thought that their so called "music" being used as part of an interrogation against anti-American terrorists must REALLY piss them off. I LOVE it!

Put it on a loop. Play it 24/7 for three weeks. I'd break.

Anything from Chitty Chitty Bang Bang would work as well.

OK...fair enough.We won’t use “music” (quotation marks inserted to communicate contempt) to “torture” anymore.From now on any 9th Century knuckledragging pigfornicator that refuses to talk will be beheaded.And as it’s being done we’ll be chanting “Praise Jesus” just as followers of the Religion of Pieces chant “allah akbar” as they’re beheading various infidels.

“The CIA worked on people...day and night for the months before I left. Plenty lost their minds.”

Considering that these "detainees" upbringing and religious background, driving them insane was a very short trip....

So when some oldtimer says listening to that stuff is torture, they are now going to be compelled to answer "yeah, I guess so".

Play anything by Barbara Streisand. For the full effect, include a few closeup pictures. The thugs will break in a matter of minutes.....that would be torture.....

Binyam Mohammed, now a prisoner at Guantanamo Bay, said men held with him at the CIA’s “Dark Prison” in Afghanistan wound up screaming and smashing their heads against walls,

He became a head-banger in the end. He now calls himself Bevis.

That won't work.

To these animals, Rosie would look like Jessica Simpson....

So, the terrorist quoted is whining because, instead of getting to kill people or become a martyr, he had to listen to music he didn’t like.

What? No elevators where he comes from??
