The Filthy 15 – EP055

In this episode we get down and dirty with a closer look at the
infamous Filthy 15 list of rock and pop songs, put out by the PMRC
in 1985. What happens in 1985 when politicians' wives, with way too
much time on their hands, catch their children walking around the
house singing songs they find objectionable? Find out in this
episode of Growin’ Up Rock, as Sonny and Steven explore the PMRC
and the so-called list of Filthy 15 songs that were put on this
earth to destroy the youth of America. We discuss, in our opinions,
what they got right and what they got so horribly wrong. We
rock some of the songs on the list so you can judge for yourself,
and we play one that missed the list. In 1985, there were a million
tunes that could have made the list, so why these 15? Music is an
art form which we feel should be left open to interpretation, not
censored by people who think they know what I should and should not
be listening to. That being said, with what is out in the world
today, I do think parents should be doing their job, and listen to
what little Timmy and Suzie are listening to, so they can decide on
a case-by-case basis whether or not they are mature enough to
handle the content and not do damage to an impressionable
developing mind that was not ready to hear it yet in the first
place. The Filthy 15 1 Prince (1984) "Darling Nikki" -
