Another possibility re: Rage, is that Rage Against The Machine is probably the best known politicaly motivated band in the States. And since these attacks were motivated by politics ...

This has also gotten a mention already over at Snopes: Clear Channel's Banning Songs. 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.
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.

I've been listening to a Manowar album I was given back during my first year of college...
"Defender" - great lead in by Orson Welles "Violence and Bloodshed" "Drums of Doom / Master of Revenge / Black Wind, Fire and Steel"
Good songs to get your blood boiling like any true Klingon Warrior!

Before all this started, I was listening to Bowie at the Beeb, the live disc. Stopped playing anything for a few days there, but as of last night, with the Bowie, I'm getting back to it. PBS all morning in the car, got some great Beethoven and Handel. This afternoon has been Yes(first album) and now Stone Temple Pilots. I'd rather the music calm me then get me even more pissed off.
