The songs they tried to ban
Rage Against The Machine - all songs. Within hours of the 9/11 tragedy, American radio executives, including those at Clear Channel, made a list of over 150 "lyrically questionable" songs, including all of political protesters RATM's. These songs were not technically banned - broadcasters were asked to "exercise restraint" when playing them. Signature track 'Killing In The Name' was played over speakers in ASDA, Preston, in 2008, prompting complaints from customers.
