No I don't think they are. Long live the 70s. I'd do anything to be back there.
I’m a 50’s kid too. Can’t think of any song that wasn’t played on the radio when I was a teen. I think the Canadian “go with the flow” mentality was part of the reason.

The Charlie Daniels Band had 2 70's hit songs censored by radio, "Uneasy Rider" and "The Devil Went Down To Georgia". The words "ass" in "Uneasy Rider" and "bitch" in "The Devil Went Down To Georgia" were bleeped out, though some brave radio station played it uncensored version.
On The Devil Went Down to Georgia, the LO or CD version line of "Son of a Bitch" is replaced by "Son of a Gun" on the 7 inch 45 RPM single version. Also, when he says "Devil just come on back", he says it somewhat differently for the single version, and replaces " Ida told you once" with "Because I told you once".
@tomfields3682 It is. The censors of 70s radio had the problem with it because you couldn't say "ass" on the radio. You couldn't say "bitch" either. Remember that Pink Floyd's "Money" and The Steve Miller Band's "Jet Airliner" ran uncensored in this time.
SOME stations refused to play them, Others DID (do) play them. Being banned on the BBC doesn't have ANYTHING to do with ones ability to buy the records.
I never knew "Jet Airliner" was banned. I seem to recall Paul Simon's Kodachrome being banned for the lyric about "all the crap I learned in high school"
which basically is correct.... I learnt a lot of crap in High School that never was relevant for the rest of my life... while some important life skills were never taught.
A lot of sad, sad individuals with influence. Sick depraved minds that can't cope with words they don't like ... so they decide that the rest of us, who can cope (it's called 'maturity') shouldn't be exposed.
In my country none of these songs were banned. Not even the sigh and moan song "Je t'aime... moi non plus" from Jane Birkin and Serge Gainsbourg from 1967.
Timothy by the Buoys. The song was on a rapid rise until people realized it was about Cannibalism. Told story of 3 men trapped in a mine cave in and only 2 were rescued. Turns out the 2 survivors had eaten Timothy.
This is just me, but if there's one song that should be banned, permanently, it's "Cocaine" by Eric Clapton. Aside from condoning drug use to "fix all your problems", the music is boring and monotonous. Never cared for Clapton to begin with, but this song is absolute garbage!
@@deedeskin2439 That's the problem with the US and western Europe. Everything they don't like should be "banned". Even as a social conservative (who happens to like Clapton's Cocaine song) I'm very much against all the "banning" that everyone seems to be in love with these days. Hearing someone praise cocaine is way less dangerous than the people who think they should be in charge of what people see and hear.
Cocaine, written by JJ Cale is a smart anti drug song. "Don't forget this fact, you can't get back." For those who like to misunderstand things on purpose, there's no help anyway.

There is also Fight the Power by The Aisley Brothers, a sing with the word Bullshit used several times. When the sing was new, the radio station I listened to would play a quick "BEEP" over the offensive word, much like that of a beep you hear when you beep a button on a touch tone phone.
Was this an American thing, I remember listening to all these Songs in the 70s on AM Radio? The only Song I remember being banned was in Music Class in 71 by my gr. 6 Music Teacher (she was a Nun), Stay awhile by The Bells, she flipped out after hearing 1/2 of the 1st Verse. It made me love it even more &I still giggle when I think about it.
Remember driving with my dad and Lola was playing .Always recall my dad saying Lola was a dirty song. That was because the guy in the song meets a drag queen.
Walk on the wild side wasn't banned in the UK and, indeed, went on to be a huge No1 hit. The reason was that nobody at the BBC understood what 'giving head' meant and by the time they realised it was too late. But, to their credit, even after finding out what it meant, they continued to allow their DJ's to keep playing it. You just keep a good song down!
"Love to Love You Baby" by Donna Summer sure faced no "backlash" in little 'ol Pittsburgh, PA. In 1975 it was on the radio seemingly once an hour, LOL. I also heard "Money" uncensored as well as "Jet Airliner" and "Who are You" (Where WHO THE FUCK ARE YOU is heard TWICE!) The last two were only edited later here, But I still "bulshit" in "Money."
Apparently I grew up in a progressive city as I heard all of these while growing up. I even remember when you could still hear, "who the fuck are you," on radio in the Who classic.
That's what I thought too when I saw the video title. "Bobby Brown Goes Down" is probably the nastiest song that ever became popular and was played up and down on the radio (Germany). Even the title is clearly ambiguous...
You missed two Paul McCartney & Wings songs, Hi Hi Hi & Give Ireland back to the Irish, also the Judge Dread 'Big' series of songs, Magic Roundabout, Jasper Carrott
Pink Floyd's Money nowadays, on the radio, just says, "Bull" and abruptly cuts the other half. They had a song in 1983, Not Now John, that has the lyrics, "F*** All That" on the LP and CD version, but for the 7 inch 45 RPM single version, the lyrics are changed to "Stop All That" The single never charted, though.
8,675,309 million rock/pop songs have car brands in the lyrics Mostly "Ford" and "Cadillac", But "Dodge", "Mercury", "Mercedes-Benz", "Rolls-Royce" , "Chevrolet" got their share.... Did the BBC ever ban any of those? Or were they only anti soda?
"THE POPE SMOKES DOPE" ( 1972 ) by DAVID PEEL was banned from FM radio play due to its suggestion that the catholic pope smokes dope . The song drew many magazine articles slamming DAVID PEEL for this song .
BLOODROCK was one of my favorite early 70's groups ! I had their first four albums and they were great ! They sucked after Lee Pickins and Jim Rutledge left !
with all this blatant censoring going on back in the 70's, surprised that "Nazareth's song "Hair of the dog" and Elton John's "the bitch is back" wasn't banned. for using the word "Bitch" that I know of, at t least.... two really good songs and performers of many back then
The song 'Butter Boy' by the all-female band, Fanny, that reached number 27 on the charts. It was banned in Boston and other places with the lyrics "He was hard as a rock and I was ready to roll." And my fave verse, "He had four on the floor and I was ready clutch."
Was going to be the graduation class song at my high school that year. But some parents didn't like the line about religion and Imagine there is no heaven.
I HATE Imagine! Not so much for the lyrics but because of the syrupy melody and outright sappy vocals. Also, IMO, Pink Floyd is monumentally boring and pretentious.
I don't believe that to many of those songs are banned. I hear some of them on the radio to this Day. Especially on satellite radio. Unless they are banned only in certain countries.
Which is funny, all the song bands and employees on the air, you got to rehear it unbanned by 1980s, but in the 2000s they split songs yet again. 98rock in Baltimore never once blocked any music. Except tge F word

Looking back to the reasons why some songs got banned back then seems really silly in comparison to today’s anything goes attitude. The more shocking and vulgar, the better! Today the Boomtown Rats would not have written their song as school shootings are common occurrences… come to think of it, I preferred the good old days to now.
Which songs on the list surprised you?
"Jet airliner" banned? Crazy...
Same, Jet Airliner
Rocky Mountain High by John Denver was banned in Canada because of "high" mistaken as a drug reference when Denver meant a natural high instead.

Because bans get lifted as the years go by 🙄
This is hilarious. Just today I was at the grocery store and the original version of the Stones "Brown Sugar" was playing over the PA system.
I was born in ‘49 and got to live through the 1950-2000 music. It was a GREAT time to be alive and hear it first hand.

I heard all these songs on the radio still do to this day on classic rock stations
No "Give Ireland back to the Irish" by Wings? Banned by the BBC and also widely in the US. Not surprisingly it was a #1 hit in Ireland.
To which Paul's reply was to record "Mary Had A Little Lamb" essentially putting two fingers up to the establishment.
