On September 11, 2001, the world saw the deadliest terrorist attacks on American soil in US history. Following the events, Clear Channel Communications, the largest owner of radio stations in the United States, circulated an internal note containing a list of songs that directors felt were "lyrically questionable" or insensitive to play in the aftermath. The list, however, wasn't a demand not to play the songs, but rather a suggestion.
This gallery features 50 of the 165 suggestions that were on the list. Did your favorite songs make the cut? Click to find out.
