While moving house recently I found something I thought I had lost and that will be of interest to many of you here.
It was a booklet produced by Christian fundamenatlists called 'What's Wrong With The Music?' that my brother bought out of curiosity at some book store while on holiday in New South Wales back in 1988. It was written in 1985 or 86 and discusses why rock music, metal and other contemporary music is 'evil'. What is also interesting is that is discusses particular bands and what is wrong with them, their album covers and lyrics. It's complete bullshit and very funny to read. Some bands that get a mention are KISS, Judas Priest, Ozzy and Sabbath, AC/DC and Iron Maiden. There are heaps of others including the Dylan and the Beatles. I would be interested to see what these people had to say about Cannibal Corpse and Morbid Angel had they been around in those days.
Anyway, I scanned it to an 8meg PDF file and uploaded it here.
The link is good for only 7 days (it's December 19 today) and for 100 downloads only so please download and share it with anyone who might find it interesting reading.

I am interested to see the discussion this thread generates, especially if any of you decide to burn your record collections on the basis of the information contained in the booklet.
Enjoy...
P.S - If the link doesn't work please PM me with email address and I can send it as an attachment.

Re: What's Wrong With The Music?
Cheers for this Dion! I got your email last night and it was a great read of essentially new-age propoganda!

Re: What's Wrong With The Music?
It's total propaganda. How anyone could take that stuff seriously is beyond me. Do the people who wrote this (albeit 20 years ago) realise that they are simply publicising the music they are trying to deter people from listening to?
