Did you ever want to see AC/DC, The B-52′s, Pink Floyd, Donna Summer, The Village People, and Julio Iglesias in the same place? Well then, you can either read my dream journal or check out this list of Western music banned on Soviet radio stations. The list was titled The approximate list of foreign musical groups and artists whose repertoires contain ideologically harmful compositions (catchy title) and was distributed to Communist Party officials in January of 1985. We like how they call it an approximate list. Everything in the USSR was so slapdash.

Here’s a link with this graphic, the Russian and an actual correct English version.

Kenet Hit is Canned Heat.
I’m surprised they did not ban Rockwell. Or did I just miss that one?
I got some groceries, some peanut butter,
to last a couple of days
But I ain't got no speakers, ain't got no
headphones, ain't got no records to play
Trouble in transit, got through the roadblock,
we blended in with the crowd
We got computer, we're tapping phone lines,
I know that ain't allowed
We dress like students, we dress like housewives,
or in a suit and a tie
Black Sabbath, Scorpions and UFO would be a pretty good concert.
FReegards
I don’t know that song by the Who. Is that like Boris and Natasha? (Grin)
Thanks.
Or Falco.
Heh heh. “The Sticks” = Styx. The transliteration of AC/DC into “Ai Si Di Si” is funny too.
Anyone to the right of Josef Stalin.
ICP is just Not Recommended.
Donna Summer, “eroticism”, yes. Tina Turner, “sex”, yes.
The rest of those, I...I have no idea.
Eighties Van Halen was very pro-Soviet. At least the young, attractive females.
“I’m just a Juggalo, and everywhere I go, people know the part I’m playing...”
And Rush isn't on the list. The Canadian rock group, not the talk-show scion. Aren't they kind of anti-communist?
Don’t turn around...
Da!
*applause*
Coming soon along with the list of banned books.
That’s a pretty good list of anti-establishment bands.
I think Freepers can do better.
I’ll start off with Jim Dandy and Black Oak Arkansas.
If this don’t scare the Commies, what will?
