So these “musicians” are trying to tell cutomers who own legitimate copies of their songs exactly how many times and how loud they can play CDs they own.

Maybe they should try that message with their teen and 20something fans and see how well it “plays”.

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

You're right.

I read about an Islamist who traded his wife for a camel.....and no one even noticed.

I keep looking at that picture and it looks familiar. Then it hit me.

She looks like the alien in Predator. Just not as thin.

Amazingly-the three commenter's seemed to like it!

Must be the “band” members themselves.

I think these talentless "musicians" need a little educatin' on what torture *really* looks (and sounds) like.

Well, what the hell else should torturous noise be used for, eh?.

Which raises the question for someone to start a thread about .. (I ain't touchin' it with anyones ten-foot pole .. ) ....

If it works to break murderers .. what's it doing to our lovely children?

Have at it.

I’m surprised Babylon/David Gray made the list.

I do think She Bang by either Ricky Martin or William Hung should have been on the list.

Actually, a lot of the American Idol tryouts clips should have been on the list.

My weird question is - does the US Gov’t pay ASCAP royalties? If so, shouldn’t these bands shut up and take the check?

Bassist Stevie Benton, whose group Drowning Pool has performed in Iraq and recorded one of the interrogators’ favourites, Bodies, said: “People assume we should be offended that somebody in the military thinks our song is annoying enough that played over and over it can psychologically break someone down.

“I take it as an honour to think that perhaps our song could be used to quell another 9/11 attack or something like that.”

BEST SONG EVER.

I'm glad I paid for their CD now.

Put away the torture music and get out those Rosie O'Donnell pictures....

Better yet, get Larry Flynt to do an exclusive Rosie and Roseanne photo spread and all nude dance video singing all their Barbara Striesand and Bruce Springsteen favorites!

I don’t remember the name of the song, or who did it, but when I went through survival school, they played a song that had the phrase “Napalm sticks to kids” in it. I don’t remember all of them, but they weren’t bad enough to keep me from sleeping when I could.

Um, I think the idea is to pick tracks that the interrogators like to listen to, but that folks who grew up in Muslim cultures find obnoxious. Music from Barney and Friends would have our guys cracking.
