I wrote my views on censorship and the power of ideas as deadly weapons in the post below. Music is most powerful, most deadly. That's why I love it. I can see why the Muhammadans ban it. Music is the highest expression of our Western ("Faustian") soul, and is therefore alien to the Muhammadan soul.

I haven't had the opportunity to hear either the Intenationale or the Horst Wessel March. I'd probably like them as music while hating what they advocated. I love Wagner even though he was an anti-Semite (which is one of the reasons why Nietzsche broke with him). The song I hate the most is Imagine, both for what it advocates and the music itself. (I don't consider (c)rap "music" to be music, it's just some idiot cussing at the top of his lungs, so it doesn't count.)

All this reminds me of Dawn's and Norma's Holy Music vs. Drug Music and the Conspiracy Behind the Conspiracy. Their style.

Ayn Rand, Communism's greatest enemy (next to Dawn and Norma), loved the Internationale. In We the Living she wrote:

"....For the first time in Petrograd, Kira heard the Internationale. She tried not to listen to its words. The words spoke of the damned, the hungry, the slaves, of those who had been nothing and shall be all; in the magnificent goblet of the music, the words were not intoxicating as wine; they were not terrifying as blood; they were grey as dish water.
"But the music was like the marching of thousands of feet, measured and steady, like drums beaten by unvarying, unhurried hands. The music was like the feet of soldiers marching into the dawn that is to see their battle and their victory; as if the song rose from under the soldiers' feet, with the dust of the road, as if the soldiers' feet played it upon the earth.
"The tune sang a promise, calmly, with the calm of an immeasurable strength, and then, tense with a restrained but uncontrollable ecstasy, the notes rose, trembling, repeating themselves, too rapt to be held still, like arms raised and waving in the swoop of banners.
"It was a hymn with the force of a march, a march with the majesty of a hymn. It was a song of soldiers bearing sacred banners and of priests carrying swords. It was an anthem to the sanctity of strength."

That is style!

I humbly submit the entire catalogs of every band composed of four or five overly primped teenage boys (with honorable mention for every band composed of one beautiful teenage girl).

Thank you Steven.

Wagner must be added!

Just off the top of my head, it's "Rite of Spring". That aside, I can't find anything harmful in it. Evidently, neither did Disney (in the '40s).

The link, however, is a good resource on Adorno. For some unaccountable reason, the MHP has no entry for Gramsci, another front-line fighter in the battle against the Western Canon.

Adorno on music is hard to read - as is almost any kind of Marxist art criticism.

To paraphrase, if Adorno's agin' it, I'm for it.

Ah, well, "The Star Spangled Banner" probably is safe by virtue of its music being 18th century.

I'd nominate, however, "Stairway to Heaven" which took dirty, gritty, drink-a-beer, party-down rock 'n' roll and convinced its practitioners that they were really making "art."

While I share this in jest it may very well be quite true, that the Riverdance soundtrack would be the most dangerous one that you have not listed.
