The ‘70s was a decade of bold defiance and unforgettable grooves. From the flower power of the late ’60s to the gritty, rebellious punk rock wave, music was more than just entertainment-it was a movement. Yet, for every anthem that lit up the airwaves, there were tracks deemed too hot to handle. Songs that ruffled feathers, challenged the status quo, or simply broke all the rules. What happens ...

The 1960s gave us The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, and The Beach Boys-names that feel as timeless as the songs themselves. But here’s the thing: for every legendary act, there were dozens of bands that burned bright, fast, and faded just as quickly. This video is a love letter to those forgotten gems. Join us as we discuss 15 bands from the 1960s you may have almost forgotten about. Let us know...

    I figured from the Beatles album Rubber Soul, " Run for your life " Or, Jimi Hendrix "Hey Joe" would have been banned too. Both songs were great.

    The Knack - I remember at middle 90s their great hit being revived in a movie called Reality Bites by Wynona Ryder; in fact, the band recorded a music video alternating their look at that point along with the original looks when they first recorded the song, it was awesome ! Thanks for sharing this info !

    Summer 72, Chuck Berry played a little bay side beach park south of Annapolis Md, my 9th grade, my dad took me and buddies, excited to see any black guy, Savoy Brown was supposed to open, but got busted, radio stations said a new band west coast, we never heard of... Blue Oyster Cult.... Tyranny & Mutations... was great...when Chuck took the stage, audience handed up lit joints... he puffed!!!! A covered open air venue, BOC guys came out and got high with him on stage... finally.... MD state troopers shut it down!

    17:00 Looking Glass, they were a jazzy kinda proggy band before Brandy hit. Worth checking out. Brandy was a hit, not even a top 5 song for Looking Glass.

    I can’t believe THE BEATLES got away with “I Saw Her Standing There” lyrics “WELL, SHE WAS JUST 17, YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN. AND THE WAY SHE LOOKED WAS WAY BEYOND COMPARE. SO HOW COULD I DANCE WITH ANOTHER. OH, WHEN I SAW HER STANDING THERE I know it was in the 60s but still?

    There are absolutely no offensive lyrics, nor any vulgarities, to any of these included tracks on the list. Some of these songs were tied, directly or indirectly, to some controversy. Maybe, maybe not. I don’t study that bs because “Hotel California” had some alleged connection to Satanism. What…ever.

    Dont remember any of these songs being banned in the 70's. here in the USA. The woke people a couple of years ago decided that the Rolling Stones "Brown Sugar" was racist and should be banned, and the Rolling Stones stopped including it on their tours.

    01 Lola - Not banned in The Netherlands. Was considered very funny. 02 Imagine - Not banned in The Netherlands. Was sung in my church. 03 Brown sugar. Not banned in The Netherlands. Rolling Stones are very popular in The Netherlands. 04 Walk on the Wild side - Not banned in The Netherlands. Very popular in The Netherlands at that time. 05 God save the queen - Not banned in The Netherlands. But this might be a specific UK thing. 06 I am woman - Not banned in The Netherlands. Don't know/remember how popular the song was back then. 07 Money - Not banned in The Netherlands. Pink Floyd was (and still is) highly popular in The Netherlands. Stop adding additional comments now ... 08 You are sixteen. Not banned in The Netherlands. 09 Street fighting man - Not banned in The Netherlands. 10 Love to love you. Not banned in The Netherlands. 11 Tie a yellow ribbon ... - Not banned in The Netherlands. 12 My ding-a-ling - Not banned in The Netherlands. 13 The pill - Not banned in The Netherlands. 14 Jailhouse rock - Not banned in The Netherlands. Granted, the ban by South Africa also did not resonate in the rest of the world. 15 War - Not banned in The Netherlands. Concluding: The Netherlands, contrary the USA, is a land of freedom of expression. No just in name, but in deeds.

    I find it interesting that I am Woman was considered provocative, but I'm Every Woman is not ?...I Love to Love You Baby had sexual innuendoes, but Love Won't Let Me Wait...which was far racier (and a lot more moaning - IMHO) different ears, different opinions, I guess.

    to all the commenters that heard these songs on the radio back in the 70s and say that therefore the songs weren't banned.... a song can be banned by one station, corporation, government, whatever. doesn't mean it is banned everywhere. context matters. jeez, binary thinking has become a pandemic.
