Kai:
THe list of songs banned by Clear Channel after 9/11 is pretty revolting actually, and has some really rediculous songs on it.  My personal favorites?

Louis Armstrong - What a Wonderful World
The Beatles - A Day in the Life, Let it Be, Ob La Di, Ob La Da, Lucy in the Sky With Diamonds, Ticket to Ride
Boston - Smokin' (as you mentioned)
Buddy Holly and the Crickets - That'll Be the Day
The Clash - Rock the Casbah
Dio - Holy Diver
Elton John - Bennie and the Jets, Daniel, Rocket Man
John Lennon - Imagine (I really do question how this fits at all)
Jerry Lee Lewis - Great Balls of Fire
Oingo Boingo – Dead Man's Party (Seriously, guys. How can you ban this? it's a fun song)
Simon and Garfunkel - Bridge over Troubled Water
Cat Stevens - Morning has broken

and the best out of them?

Frank Sinatra - New York, New York

Bunnyman:
They're Clear Channel.  They're big enough that they no longer have to make sense.  Goes with the territory, I guess.

That whole list can be summed up in three words. What. The. Fuck?

Kai:
Oh, that's not even all of it; Those are the ones I found EXCEPTIONALLY ridiculous. Here's the full list: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_songs_deemed_inappropriate_by_Clear_Channel_following_the_September_11%2C_2001_attacks

Valrus:
And then there's a link to this on the exact same page.

I'm no great Clear Channel fan myself, but how about making even a halfhearted attempt on unbiased research?
