Music You weren't allowed to listen to?
It was summer 1993 in West Cork, I was 14, and an eager listener to late-night radio. One night I heard this hilariously cynical song full of swearing, and I listened to it several times. It was Denis Leary's "A**Hole". Just the song
for a cynical teenager. ![]() Then one night I was listening to it and my younger brother came in and started to sing along to it. Then my mother came in, heard my brother singing along to it, and switched off the radio in horror. The upshot was I got a furious lecture from my father, who told me I was not to ever listen to that song again, (or even mention Mr. Leary's existence) or there would be dire consquences. I was also banned from listening to the radio after 9 for the next three months. Were any of you banned from listening to certain music when younger? I suspect there were quite a few.... |

I wasn't allowed to listen to t.A.T.u. as a teenager as my parents didn't want to give money to their manager. I loved t.A.T.u. too and still listen to them now.

My mum was a bit horrified when I got into Eminem when I was just 11 lol But she said she didn't mind coz even though he swears constantly there's always meaning to what hes rapping about so she didn't ban me from listening to him. But yeh 'The Eminem Show' did make her gasp lol

t.A.T.u. were created by Ivan Shapovalov and his friend/business partner Alexander Voitinskyi, and t.A.T.u. remain the only musical group conceptualised around Internet search terms: "I saw that most people look up pornography on the Internet," said Shapovalov, "and of those, most are looking for underage sex. I saw their needs weren't fulfilled. Later, it turned out, I was right."

My sister's friend had her copy of "Jagged Little Pill" taken away from her by her religious mother because there was a song on it which badmouthed
the Catholic Church ("Forgiven"). |

Nothing was banned, but my brother was very much into Pete Wylie, all incarnations of Wah!, going to the gigs, meeting him etc.... my mum wasn't keen on him at all, thought he was a terrible loudmouth and couldn't sing, (obv completely missing the point as parents do). So she didn't like me listening to Wylie as well, but she wouldn't stop it... she just preferred it if I was listening to the Carpenters.
I actually love both Wylie and the Carpenters.

A schoolfriend's dad had a pub which had a jukebox. So my friend managed to add The Winkers Song by Ivor Biggun onto it
![]() Needless to say his dad wasn't impressed and prompty removed it and banned us from listening to it. |

There wasn't anything I wasn't allowed to listen to, but I remember my mom didn't like the comedy albums I owned. She was particularly upset with me because I played Adam Sandler's Toll Booth Willie for my little brother. (Warning, ridiculously strong language)

My uncle gave me tape of Kevin Bloody Wilson that my mother wouldn't let me listen to. Of course the ilicitness just made it all the more fun.
With hindsight I think my parents got my limits just about right. They weren't so restricted that I kicked back too hard and flew off the rails but there were just enough to make breaking the rules fun and exciting. Friends who were allowed to do whatever they wanted always seemed prematurely cynical and joyless; when we were watching horror films together at least I had the thrill of doing something forbidden. |

I was 10 years old when Sex Pistols Never mind the bollocks was released and 11 when I borrowed it off my mate. My Mother saw it and made me take it back. Next day I borrowed it again but swapped it into a Cliff Richards LP sleeve and sat listening to it wearing headphones pretending to read the Cliff sleeve notes.
