Is that the Stooges or the Stodges?
The Stranglers or the Strangers?
Yazoo or Jazoo?
Sparks or Sparks Sparks?
PS I see that Lee Greenwood is so far NOT on the "Not Recommended" list.

I just knew “Hot for Teacher” was code for “Destroy the Soviets!”

Considering that Roger Waters is a full-blown Commie, the exclusion of Pink Floyd is head-scratching.

“And Rush isn’t on the list. The Canadian rock group, not the talk-show scion. Aren’t they kind of anti-communist?”
Maybe the Politburo thought they were literally singing about trees...

They must've thought the Kenet Heat singer was a fairy...

Communists are quite the judgmental old fuddy-duddies when it comes to their own country. It’s just their external enemies that they seek to destroy with licentiousness and degraded art.
People forget that, on both the left and the right.

The Beatles and a lot of other rock and roll was banned because the music (not the message) was too “rebellious” for those wanting clockwork oranges to dress drab and be cogs in the Soviet machine.
For decades illicit recordings were bootlegged onto thin plastic (old x-rays for example).

“Jazz” music was “acceptable” so even Frank Zappa’s albums could “pass” as something other than rock and roll. There are also some good recordings of Polish “funk”.

The Commies banned the Village People for “violence”. LOL.

The Village People raped my ears on tv and radio as a yute.

Disco may not be “dead” but at least it is marginalized. Back in the day, it was pumped into the background sounds of many tv shows, commercials, and public space.

I can understand Madness being banned.
“Our House” - Promotes private ownership. Houses belong to the State.

Tends to be the fate of the avant garde in all of their revolutions. Malcontents and corrosive change agents suddenly become undesirable.
