Hi everybody!
It rarely happens that I post here, but this time I found
something exciting enough to be worth the post.
It's an official list of 38 bands/artists that were found
dangerous for the communist youth in Ukraine 1985.
And AC/DC unfortunately is only 11th :)
It can easily be concluded that punk is what the soviet
authorities considered the most dangerous type of
western music. But pay attention to Tina Turner at 25
and Julio Iglesias at 31 :) And the reasons they were
considered dangerous (in brackets) :)
