Filthy Fifteen via PMRC

[Fresh Tendrils]

I just found out about this "list" that Tipper Gore and the rest of the Parents Music Resource Center compiled of the top 15 "filthiest" songs. I knew that Tipper Gore was partly responsible for the parental advisory stickers, but I didn't know there was a list.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Filthy_Fifteen

1) Prince - Darling Nikki
2) Sheena Easton - Sugar Walls
3) Judas Priest - Eat Me Alive
4) Vanity - Strap on Robbie Baby
5) Motley Crue - Bastard
6) AC/DC - Let Me Put My Love Into You
7) Twisted Sister - We're Not Gonna Take It
8) Madonna - Dress You Up
9) W.A.S.P - Animal (**** Like An Beast)
10) Def Leppard - High n Dry (Saturday Night)
11) Mercyful Fate - Into the Coven
12) Black Sabbath - Trashed
13) Mary Jane Girls - In My House
14) Venom - Possessed
15) Cyndi Lauper - She Bop


Too bad the PMRC hasn't kept this list up to date, but I'm sure it would be changing everyday.

I thought the W.A.S.P. (We Are Sexual Perverts, natch) song was "Animal (F' Like A Beast)"?

Regardless, living through that time was strange. Tipper & co had such a prominent platform to preach from that it really seemed like music and youth itself was under attack.

There is a great clip from that time on youtube:

"Zappa on Crossfire"

Mind-boggling, looking back on it.
