This isn't "songs no longer allowed on the radio". This is "songs that have been banned in some venues at some time".

I'm showing my age but I remember when Money For Nothing by Dire Straits was played uncensored..

[marcdewey]

You can still hear most of these songs on classic rock stations.

[kristalparsons]

'Louie, Louie' got banned for explicit lyrics? Who can even understand them? I have NEVER heard a version of the song where I could understand what was being said--and I am 64 years old.

[FACTUALITY-]

Everyone of these songs are stilled played on the radio in 2024!

The Doors were never "kicked off" the Sullivan show - they were just told they could never return. To that, Jim Morrison said, "So what - we just DID the Sullivan show."

Some people have too much time on their hands and too little activity in their cerebral neurons.

These songs were banned at some point in some places, but they all still get played.

[smmyers]

Censorship is repression. It is discrimination. It is a violation of Every persons right to decide for themselves. NOONE has the right to decide what another can listen too. I have the right to listen to anything I want to. I also have the right to turn it off or change the station or leave. It's called Freedom of Choice

R.I.P. Olivia Newton-John, John Lennon and others who aren't here anymore.

[stevielease]

Right. I remember, back in Summer of 1966, many radio stations banned "They're Coming to Take Me Away, Ha Ha" because it supposedly poked fun at people with mental problems.

[katherinewood]

Finding it hard to believe any of these songs are banned when W.A.P. is a thing.

[robertthomas]

Imagine is a song about communism, not peace. He advocated for it.

[NGMonocrom]

No, "Imagine" is NOT a song promoting peace. It's a song that literally promotes Communism. And I mean, that fact has been confirmed for several years upon years now. It's literally a Pro-Communism song. And, no clue where you live; but yes it is still played on the radio even today. And honestly, I didn't watch the rest of this video because it was uploaded only a month ago; and you got the very first entry wrong. Before I upload content on my channel, I do my research very thoroughly.

[kevenwoods]

My big guitar, was banned in 1981, but it stayed on heavy rotation anyway

[Jdfuller]

They still play Imagine on the radio. They also still play Baby It's Cold Outside. In The Air Tonight is still played on the radio. Walk Like An Egyptian is still played on the radio. Where do you live? I Can't Get No Satisfaction is still played on the radio. Louie Louie still played on the radio along with Brown Eyed Girl.
