Motivational songs that need to be banned

2014-03-24T00:53:20-04:00

These are songs that are played at organizational runs (CO/BN/BDE) that need not be played ever again:

1. Sweet Child of Mine, Welcome to the Jungle (basically anything from Gn’R.)

2. Crazy Train (Black Sabbath)

3. “Army Strong” song

To correct you on who sings Crazy Train. Sgt. Crazy train was sung by Ozzy Osbourne not Black Sabbath as you have stated.

SGT C.,<div><br></div><div><sarcasm>  Are you saying that the playing of these songs is not mandated in an FM somewhere?  I was starting to think that there's an official DoD playlist for BN/BDE runs. </sarcasm></div><div><br></div><div>In that case, please add "Eye of the Tiger" to the banned list! ;)</div>

"Crazy Train" isn't a Black Sabbath song.  It was the first single off Ozzy's debut solo album "Blizzard of Ozz" AFTER he left Sabbath.  I personally think that soldiers don't hear enough AC/DC nor Motörhead .  If you don't at least appreciate AC/DC, you should probably find a new line of work.<br>

Maybe something more peppy like Rachmaninov?

"Push It" By Salt and Peppa.
No... Just no.
I heard that come on and I simply lost all hope for my unit.

Don't the units sing all of their own cadence when they run in formation? Why would you play music when you can make your own.

I actually had a 1SG who had the Army Strong song as his ringtone on his Government Issued Blackberry.

If you don't like the music bring headphones. Then it will be your music you are tired of. Now wasn't that simple!

Eye of the tiger, please let it die.

And "cherry pie" and "pour some sugar" I seriously can't hear those songs anymore.

There is an "Army Strong" song?!?! Somebody please tell me this is a joke. I guess the one saving grace is that it wasn't an "Army of One" song.

Sorry to be pedantic and off topic (slightly), but "Crazy Train" was written/preformed by Mr. Ozzy Osbourne, formerly of Black Sabbath, and Randy Rhoads (RIP). Black Sabbath is not credited with this song. I had the pleasure of seeing Ozzy perform this in 1987 live.
