Peace Train A backlash ensued. 10,000 Maniacs pulled Stevens' “Peace Train” from In My Tribe. His songs were banned from radio and his religious beliefs publicly ridiculed.

Always enjoyed that song, but never was a big Cat Stevens fan.
What was the deal with him getting banned from radio? Last
I recall he went off to India or Tibet to become a monk of
some type.
 

not sure myself, something about " Islam's comments " :dontknow:
Apparently they know who to cry to for attention :dontknow:
 

Can't leave out Louie Louie, banned on radio and high school dances.




The Kingsmen, Iggy Pop, The Troggs, Richard Berry

And now, the news
Louie, Louie
Oh baby, I gotta go now

Louie, Louie
Oh baby, I really gotta go now
The communist world is fallin' apart
The capitalists are just breakin' hearts
Money is the reason to be
It makes me just wanna sing, Louie Louie

Louie, Louie
Oh baby, I gotta go now
Louie, Louie
Oh baby, I really gotta go now

And a fine little girl, she is waitin' for me
But I'm as bent as Dostoevsky
I think about the meaning of my life again
And I have to sing, Louie Louie again

Louie, Louie
Oh baby, I gotta go now
Louie, Louie
Oh baby, I really gotta go now
Oh, let's give it to 'em, right now

Alright
Oh man, I, I dunno like man like you know
I dunno like health insurance
And the homeless and world peace
And aids and education, I mean that
I'm tryin' to do right but hey
Life after Bush and Gorbachev
The wall is down but something is lost
Turn on the news, it looks like a movie
It makes me wanna sing, Louie Louie

Louie, Louie
Oh baby, I gotta go now
Louie, Louie
Oh baby, I really gotta go now
Said, I gotta go now
I gotta go now
I really gotta go now
Well, let's go

Songwriters: Richard Berry
 

"This Note's For You," Neil Young (April 11, 1988) This ballsy parody of commercial rock was banned by MTV for its critique of the music industry's cozy relationship with corporate America. The song and video mocked advertisements and did not shy away from dropping company names? the title itself is a jab at Budweiser's ad campaign of ?This Bud's For You.? The song also made fun of pop artists such as Michael Jackson and Whitney Houston. Jackson's legal threats prompted MTV to ban the video. They changed their minds when the song became a hit on Canada's MuchMusic channel

From one of my musical heroes that Americans may not have heard about: Roy Harper. He wrote a song called “The Watford Gap” lampooning the poor quality food dished up at one of our main motorway service stations situated in that location.

Just about a mile from where the motorways all merge
You can view the national edifice, a monumental splurge
It's the lonesome traveller's rotgut or bacteria's revenge
The great plastic spectacular descendant of Stonehenge
And the people come to worship on their death-defying wheels
Fancy-dressed as shovels for their death-defying meals
It's the Watford Gap, Watford Gap
A plate of grease and a load of crap




The song was withdrawn from the album “Bullinamingvase” under pressure and threat of legal action by “Blue Boar”, who owned the service station. I have the original vinyl pressing which includes the track.
