The nation's largest chain of radio stations distributed a long list of questionable song titles to programmers, ranging from AC/DC’s "Highway to Hell," to the Chi-Lites' "Have You Seen Her," to, oddly, Simon and Garfunkel’s "Bridge Over Troubled Water."<p>....<p>Radio musical programmers, shoved aside by news coverage last week, were wary of offending listeners. Jack Evans, an executive with the 1,200-station, San Antonio-based Clear Channel group, prepared a list of 150 potentially offensive song titles as a guide for programmers. <p>The list cut a swath across formats from rock to pop to oldies. It included AC/DC’s "Safe in New York City," Alanis Morissette's "Ironic," which makes reference to a plane crash, and both the Bob Dylan and Guns N' Roses versions of "Knockin' on Heaven’s Door." <p>Las Vegas-based radio broadcaster Citadel Communications was building a similar list of about 70 songs, ranging from the Beastie Boys' "Sure Shot" to Peter Paul & Mary’s "Leavin' on a Jet Plane." <p>"I think that literally overnight the personalities of people have been significantly changed,’’ said Scott Mahalick, Citadel’s vice president for programming, "and radio needs to be in tune to that." <p>Nonetheless, he said, "people need entertainment, they need a release, it’s part of our culture." <p>Songs with even passing references to targets, fires, crashes, absent loved ones and the like have all but vanished from playlists, according to Mediabase, a Clear Channel-owned firm that compiles airplay data. <p>[IN THE JUST TO GET SOL CATEGORY] In the so-called "hot adult contemporary" format, R.E.M.'s "It's the End of the World as We Know It" has seen a 63% drop in the number of "spins" in the last week, compared with the week before, according to the data. Dave Matthews Band’s "Crash Into Me" is down 45% in that format.<hr></blockquote><p>Questionable Lyrics <p>Clear Channel, the nation’s largest chain of radio stations, distributed to its disc jockeys a list of songs that might now be in bad taste, including: <br /> <br />Steve Miller: "Jet Airliner" <br />Queen: "Another One Bites the Dust" <br />Pat Benatar: "Hit Me With Your Best Shot" <br />Bangles: "Walk Like an Egyptian" <br />Kansas: "Dust in the Wind" <br />Led Zeppelin: "Stairway to Heaven" <br />The Beatles: "A Day in the Life" <br />Nine Inch Nails: "Head Like a Hole" <br />Bob Dylan: "Knockin’ on Heaven’s Door" <br />Megadeth: "Sweating Bullets" <br />Metallica: "Seek and Destroy" <br />Jerry Lee Lewis: "Great Balls of Fire" <br />Louis Armstrong: "What a Wonderful World" <br />Peter, Paul & Mary: "Leavin’ on a Jet Plane" <br />Black Sabbath: "Suicide Solution" <br />Simon & Garfunkel: "Bridge Over Troubled Water" <br />Third Eye Blind: "Jumper" <br />Alice in Chains: "Down in a Hole" <br />Hollies: "He Ain't Heavy, He's My Brother" <br />Don McLean: "American Pie" <br />Frank Sinatra: "New York, New York" <br />Bruce Springsteen: "I'm on Fire" <br />Ricky Nelson: "Travelin’ Man" <br />James Taylor: "Fire and Rain" <br />Limp Bizkit: "Break Stuff" <br /> <br />Source: Clear Channel<p>[ September 18, 2001: Message edited by: Jay the Obscure ]</p> <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#E5EAEF"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="3" face="Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif"> <b>Sol System</b> <br /><small>Member # 30</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="2" face="Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif"> <img src="https://flare.solareclipse.net/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.write(timestamp(new Date(2001,8,18,1,36,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><noscript><span class="dateformat-0">September 18, 2001</span> <span class="timeformat-0">01:36 AM</span></noscript><hr /> </font> <font size="3" face="Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif"> Clear Channel is the devil, by the way, for reasons unrelated to this.

It differs from Sol's link in that it says someone compiled a list of songs of "current questionable taste," but this is a directive to ban these songs from the airways.<p>In the end, as usual, it's up to the program directors at the individual stations to plan the playlists. I listen to one the Clear Channel stations on a regular basis. They haven't banned these songs, but a few of them have been shifted to being played in the late afternoon and early evening rather than morning and early afternoon. <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#A3B9CC"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="3" face="Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif"> <b>First of Two</b> <br /><small>Member # 16</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="2" face="Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif"> <img src="https://flare.solareclipse.net/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.write(timestamp(new Date(2001,8,19,7,50,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><noscript><span class="dateformat-0">September 19, 2001</span> <span class="timeformat-0">07:50 AM</span></noscript><hr /> </font> <font size="3" face="Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif"> I've been listening to a Manowar album I was given back during my first year of college...<p>"Defender" - great lead in by Orson Welles<br />"Violence and Bloodshed"<br />"Drums of Doom / Master of Revenge / Black Wind, Fire and Steel"<p>Good songs to get your blood boiling like any true Klingon Warrior! <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#E5EAEF"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="3" face="Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif"> <b>Omega</b> <br /><small>Member # 91</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="2" face="Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif"> <img src="https://flare.solareclipse.net/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.write(timestamp(new Date(2001,8,19,7,55,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><noscript><span class="dateformat-0">September 19, 2001</span> <span class="timeformat-0">07:55 AM</span></noscript><hr /> </font> <font size="3" face="Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif"> *smacks Rob upside the head with a bat'leth*<p>Brag all you WANT!
