The Filthy Fifteen

This reminds me: did anyone see the VH1 original movie "Warning! Parental Advisory" about the PMRC hysteria and Senate hearings from a few years ago? Dee Snider played himself, Mariel Hemingway played Tipper Gore, and Griffin Dunne portrayed Frank Zappa. Very funny stuff. (Loved the scene where the lyrics to the Mentors' "Golden Showers" was read aloud during the Senate hearings!!) Unfortunately, VH1 hasn't re-run it in a while and it doesn't appear that it's been released on DVD.

Nice job by everyone that replied. I will now do a happy dance while "Sugar Walls" blares from my stereo.

I'm gonna make a compilation of these on CDR and listen to it tomorrow as I go about my usual sinful day.

My favorite album until I got into metal!

Shout At The Devil's still a metal album to me, dammit!

Only thing that might sound better is "Animal (F*ck Like a Smurf)"

I think Smurf (Smurf like a Smurf) would sound cooler. The smurfs only have a couple of words in their vocabulary anyway.

3 Judas- Priest Eat Me Alive

I would be scared if there was a song called "Priest Eat Me Alive"

It's by little Skippy and The Altar Squad

That's a terrible mistake!!!

He needs to listen to Purple Rain for 17 straight days and get himself an education!!

Purple Rain is killer. Right, toho?

Purple Rain is easily one of the top 10 metal albums of all time

I can fix this! There is a nice metal version of "Darling Nikki" on Chum's "Dead to the World" album from about 1996.

It's still not Shout At The Devil.

Good for you, man! I'm glad someone gets to do what they want.

Because I've read up about the PMRC aswell as other accusations against heavy metal and music in general in the past, and was very used to the filthy fifteen.

It would be really cool if there was a cover album made of modern bands and artists covering the filthy fifteen songs. Who do you think would be best suited to each? They'd also have to be a semi-contraversial/censorship-targetted contemporary artist.

That would be a great idea for a band. Call the album "The Filthy Fifeteen" and then cover all of those songs in the band's own style. Ult, I think we've got an idea for the next Ultimatum album.

I have no idea which ones constitute the filthy 15 but I still have that entire Blackie Lawless PMRC rant from Live in the Raw memorized. I havent listened to that tape in years.

Hearing Scott sing Madonna would be great.

Or 'Sugar Walls', which is about the lips of the vagin...I can't say it or I risk having the page blocked on peoples work/college serves.

That would be pretty sweet, actually.

Is it just me or does the Filthy Fifteen list seem very random? Of course, all of those songs have questionable content, as they would say it, but there were way more worse songs at the time than the ones on the list.

They were going for more popular ones it would seem.
