from AC/DC to the Barney theme song, Marilyn Manson to Neil Diamond, Tupac Shakur to Sesame Street, Limp Bizkit to Christina Aguilera.

Obviously that is a rather wide range of music listed above. The issue is that artists don't want their music associated with the dehumanization of innocent people. (FTR I'm not saying ALL people at Gitmo are innocent, just that GWB and his regime had a tendency to punish innocent civilians who had/have nothing to do with terrorism)

"The fact that music I helped create was used in crimes against humanity sickens me," said Tom Morello, former lead guitarist for Rage Against the Machine, an industrial rock band whose song "March of the Pigs" has been linked to torture tactics at the detention facility at the U.S. Naval Base Guantanamo Bay, Cuba.

BTW March of the Pigs is a NIN song NOT RATM. That is a typo.
