IRON MAIDEN, JUDAS PRIEST, AC/DC, BLACK SABBATH Among Bands Banned In The USSR In 1985

Red Square from Thepeoplescube.com, has translated list of Western rock bands that Soviet Komsomol (a Communist Party for young people) singled out for deletion from the list of permissible music to be played at Soviet dance clubs, due to their "ideologically harmful compositions."

Says Red Square: "I never saw it before because it was for internal use only, but I felt the invisible presence of such lists throughout my entire life in the Motherland."

Some of the bands on the list include: IRON MAIDEN, JUDAS PRIEST, AC/DC, BLACK SABBATH.
