Bands & Artists banned in the USSR in 1985 for being "Ideologically Harmful"

 
A few surprises on this list, and some weird 'propaganda' reasons for being banned - Village People - "Violence"; Julio Inglesias - "Neofascism"

    Maybe they meant that allowing VP to play would provoke violence - I certainly played at a few places back in the day where it probably would have.
