One of the most seemingly innocent songs on this list, “Eve of Destruction” was sung by Barry McGuire and written by P.F. Sloan). It was banned by several U.S. radio stations after the powers that be decided they didn’t like McGuire’s opinions and thought his band was anti-war.
Some of the lines that offended were “human respect is disintegratin’, this whole crazy world is just too frustratin’,” and “…you’re old enough to kill but not for votin’.” This didn’t stop the song from becoming a No. 1 Billboard hit in 1965.
