Indovoices.com – Setelah serangan teroris 11 September pada tahun 2001, Clear Channel Communications (sekarang iHeartMedia), pemilik stasiun radio terbesar di Amerika Serikat, mengedarkan memo internal yang berisi daftar lagu yang menurut direksi program “secara lirik dipertanyakan” untuk diputar setelah serangan itu.
Setelah serangan tersebut, banyak stasiun televisi dan radio mengubah secepatnya program biasanya sebagai tanggapan atas peristiwa tersebut. Muncul berita bahwa Clear Channel dan anak perusahaannya telah membuat daftar lagu dengan lirik yang dianggap “dipertanyakan.” Daftar itu bukan permintaan untuk tidak memainkan lagu-lagu yang terdaftar, tetapi saran bahwa mereka “mungkin tidak ingin memutar lagu-lagu tersebut.” Daftar ini dipublikasikan oleh buletin independen Hits Daily Double, yang tidak berafiliasi dengan iHeartMedia. Snopes.com melakukan penelitian pada subjek dan menyimpulkan bahwa daftar itu memang ada sebagai saran untuk stasiun radio tetapi mencatat bahwa itu bukan larangan langsung pada lagu-lagu yang terdaftar.
Daftar ini berisi 165 lagu, termasuk satu saran untuk semua lagu oleh Rage Against the Machine serta beberapa lagu yang direkam oleh beberapa artis (misalnya “Knockin ‘on Heaven’s Door” oleh Guns N’ Roses dan versi asli oleh Bob Dylan). Dalam beberapa kasus, hanya versi lagu tertentu yang dimasukkan dalam daftar. Misalnya, cover “Smooth Criminal” oleh Alien Ant Farm ada di daftar, sementara rekaman Michael Jackson asli tidak ada. Demikian pula, versi “Last Kiss” J. Frank Wilson disertakan, tetapi cover Pearl Jam tidak. Lagu “Dancing in the Street” versi asli Martha and the Vandellas dan versi Van Halen juga disertakan; sementara versi David Bowie dan Mick Jagger dikeluarkan dari daftar. Lagu “Leaving on a Jet Plane” oleh Peter, Paul, dan Mary disertakan, tetapi versi komposer lagu John Denver tidak. AC / DC memiliki paling banyak lagu yang terdaftar, dengan tujuh, meskipun seluruh katalog Rage Against the Machine terdaftar.
