Yes. All this talk of "moral councils" deciding which music should be banned is absolutely ludicrous. It is similar to something that Saudi Arabia and Iran has.

Religious leaders do not have the right to dictate the shape of the entertainment industry to atheists. One religion does not have the right to dictate the shape of the entertainment industry to another. One denomination does not have the right to dictate to another. One person does not have the right to dictate appropriate music, books or films to another.
People can watch, look at, listen to, and read whatever the bloody hell they want.
If you don't like it, walk out of the room!
EDIT: And as for "no nonreligious moral experts"; I've personally met atheists who are more moral than many of the Christians I've known. Atheists may have more taste than to brand themselves a moral expert, but religion =/= morality.
The nonreligious don't have moral experts. That's not my fault.

Ok as an atheist this offends me greatly. Saying atheist don´t have morals is dumb for one huge reason. That is YOU DON¨T NEED RELIGION TO HAVE MORALS. If we do this council atheist leaders need to be included. Granted this censoring shows based off religion is a dumb idea.

Hey, you never know with these propositions.
Singers who produce obscene lyrics should be fined. Distribution/owning obsence songs should be made illegal with fines. Records should be burned in public to bring people together and the government should reward people for reporting their neighbors/family/friends who download heavy metal.

I said you have no moral *experts*
Religious atheists, like Buddhist clergy, could obviously be included

Gib source.American Academy of Pediatrics argues the lyrics of heavy metal music influence risky behavior and attitudes, some studies even show heavy metal listners are at a higher risk of suicide and self harm.
NoIf it is the government’s responsibility to protect society, should heavy metal music be banned?
Clearly, heavy metal should be restricted and controlled, maybe we don’t have to ban all of it, maybe only some? Maybe violence and anger aren’t necessary for musical stlye and we can have decent heavy metal sounding music to satisfy angsty teens. Clearly, music full of rage emotions is not healthy for people to consume.
