Top Ten Censored Rock Songs

It's strange these days, when just about anything goes, and satellite radio and podcasts make it possible for anything and everything to escape censorship, that rock songs were censored and/or banned from broadcast platforms...here are some of the most famous examples: The BBC banning the Beatles' "Lucy in the Sky With Diamonds" because of its reference to LSD. John Lennon said the reference was to a picture his son had drawn in school--the BBC didn't buy it....the BBC banned a few other famous songs too: the Who's "My Generation" because they thought it was disrespectful to people with stuttering problems (Roger Daltrey stutters several of the lyrics), and they made the Kinks' Ray Davies re-record the lyric "they drink champagne and it tastes just like Coca Cola"....they had no problem with the transvestite character in the song--they had a policy against naming products in a song, like coca cola. So Davies had to change the lyric to "cherry cola." American radio stations, especially in the South, banned Barry McGuire's protest song "Eve of Destruction" because they said the song provided "aid to the enemy in Vietnam." Here's more about all those, plus find out why MTV altered the lyric to Tom Petty's "You Don't Know How It Feels," and see more banned songs, here: https://ultimateclassicrock.com/censored-rock-songs/
