" K@#*%! (Kunts!)," Korn
This song has been banned from all radio stations because every three word uses profanity or the F word. Also there is no clean version of their album "Life Is Peachy" because if they did, they would have to replace the song, skip it, or do an instrumental version of the song.
Slpnot
"Creep," Radiohead
it was dubbed too depressing for young teenagers by the PMRC and various other associations.
Meghan
"You Don't Know How It Feels," Tom Petty
Not exactly banned per se. On MTV, they reversed the word "joint" in the line, "Let's roll another joint".
Beth
"all songs," Cannibal Corpse
Banned in Australia and Germany...for everything about them. (Note: I originally put the artist as all songs and the song as Cannibal Corpse. Please delete that entry.)

"Dancing in the Street," Martha Reeves & The Vandellas
Even before the 9/11 attacks, this song had been banned on some radio stations. When the song originally came out in the 1960s, it was during a time of high racial tensions. At the time, several white listeners interpreted some of the lyrics in this upbeat song as a call for urban African-Americans to riot, so it was subsequently banned on quite a few radio stations. Martha Reeves responded to the accusations by insisting that the song was merely "a party song," and it eventually became accepted as such.
Raphael
"You Don't Know How It Feels," Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers
On the radio in Ohio the line "let's roll another joint" was edited into "let's hit another joint".
CD Listener
"all songs," Green Day
Banned by Wal-Mart because they refuse to release censored versions of their albums.
dxman
"Cannibal Corpse," all songs
Banned in Australia and Germany...for everything about them.
dxman
"Another Brick In The Wall," Pearl Jam
Banned by AT&T while being web-broadcast because the lyrics were altered to be critical of George W. Bush.
dxman
"Let's Get Retarded," Black Eyed Peas
Why has this not been put up here yet even though it is so famous? The USA threatened to ban the single unless it was changed; it was, to "Let's Get It Started."
dxman
"Most songs," Eminem
Banned and censored by the USA and himself for anti-Bush lyrics, making fun of homosexuals, and referring to the Columbine school shootings.
dxman
"Sunshowers," M.I.A.
Banned by MTV for the line "like PLO I don't surrendo." Here, PLO is referring to the Palestinian Liberation Organization.
dxman
