I'm sure with the language in plenty music today there are more songs that are banned from airplay.
It would be interesting to hear if any political / social commentary type songs are banned from airplay.When its hot in the jungle of peace I go swimming in the ocean of love.....Comment

Usually banned would just mean banned From being played on the radio.Originally posted by Tropicana View PostIn the 1970s?
I wonder how my cousin got a hold of the music?
I guess that's another phone call. Got to ask my Mom to dig up my old 45s that he brought me from storage and read all the titles. I hope that was among them and not just on an old cassette.When its hot in the jungle of peace I go swimming in the ocean of love.....Comment

For sure their music was on the radio so when did it stop being banned?
Man if this is a rehearsal....no wonder the finished product was so amazing. Only got to see them once when they came to Toronto some time during the 80s.Last edited by Tropicana; 11-05-2013, 03:58 PM.Comment

And he was trampled to death after a performance at the National Stadium on National Heroes Day during the Manley era so by then the ban must have been lifted.
Hard to find live footage...anyway here is where he performed for Selassie in 1966. So was the music still banned then?

Really. I didn't know that anything along those lines had been banned since Power & the Glory - Jah Kingdom Goes to Waste. The first time I heard it was when RichD posted it.Originally posted by Emperah View Post
What are some examples of songs that are banned today for reasons other than slack lyrics?Comment
