Following the September 11, 2001 attacks, a list of 150 songs circulated on the Internet, purported to be from radio conglomerate Clear Channel Communications to its subsidiaries, with the recommendation that these songs be pulled from airplay. It was later revealed that the list was originally the work of a few specific station program directors, that it was not an official Clear Channel missive, and that it changed over time as it was distributed. About 150 songs were listed.

See Clear Channel Communications for more information.

The songs are listed alphabetically by artist.
