In the eighties and nineties there was a strong reaction to the overreaching arm of the PMRC. Off the top of my head here are a few songs I remember that were made in protest to the censorship that was going on:

Flotsam and Jetsam - Hard On You
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JCTgTezM7Qc

Sacred Reich - Who's To Blame
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GozbMoAkEqc

Megadeth - Hook In Mouth
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yPp_gh4Xq0I

I also recall there being a few lines on Sanctuary's 'In the Mirror Black' album that discussed the influence of music, and media, and how society scapegoats artists for the crimes of individuals. Their lyrics even mentioned how rap glorifies criminal behavior.

This is the type of stuff I'm looking for.

What other metal songs fit this topic? I'm emphasizing METAL.

Anthrax released a hilarious B-side years ago explaining their feelings about censorship and the PMRC!
