'Tis the Season

In rememberence of the victims of 9/11 and the ridiculous censorship that followed, here's a list of several songs that were "banned" by Clear Channel following the attacks.

by_Clear_Channel_following_the_September_11%2C_2001_attacks

Some highlights:

"Down" - 311
"Walk Like an Egyptian" - The Bangles
"Ticket to Ride" - The Beatles
"Smokin" - Boston
"In the Air Tonight" - Phil Collins (perhaps my favorite)
"Mack the Knife" - Bobby freakin' Darin
"America" - Neil Diamond
"Ironic" - Alanis... yeah

Not to be too much of a DaveHead, but I'm pretty sure "Crash Into Me" was on that list too, which pretty much takes the cake and explodes it.
