List of ideologically harmful performers

This is too funny. I don't know how long this image is going to be posted on the source web site, but I couldn't resist linking to it here.





This is dated Jan 10, 1985, and is supposed to be a list of banned performers for communist censors in the Soviet Union. I'll list some of them in English here:

  • Sex Pistols
  • Kiss
  • Iron Maiden
  • Judast Priest
  • AC/DC
  • Black Sabbath
  • Alice Cooper
  • Nazareth
  • Scorpions
  • Pink Floyd
  • Donna Summer
  • Tina Turner
  • Ramones
  • Blondie


While I could understand reasoning behind banning Sex Pistols, Kiss or Black Sabbath, after all I believe that they are banned in Walmart too, I don't get Donna Summer. Kiss had "ss" looking like Nazi's SS symbol, that alone would have been enough to ban them. It's real funny to look at this list now.
