I find this list truly fascinating. (Sorry if this is very old news to some people.) The list clearly wasn't paid much credence, as 3 Doors Down's revenge-themed "Duck and Run" was ubiquitous around that time.
Some of the connections to 9/11 are obvious (Bruce Springsteen's "I'm Goin' Down"), others (Louis Armstrong's "What a Wonderful World") not quite as much. But I like the fact that ALL of Rage Against the Machine's songs are inappropriate.

i can't for the life of me figure out why "Walk Like and Egyptian" and "Ticket to Ride" are on there.
you have to buy TICKETS to get on doomed planes and there might be EGYPTIAN terrorists.
i didn't read the article...
Wow man, pretty much any song referencing flight, fire, or smoke is on that list.
I was about to say, "I bet 'Fire and Rain' was okay" but I just checked the list and it wasn't. Were they afraid that the soft, rural melodies of James Taylor would rile people into a frenzy or just lull their lungs to permanent sleep?
