All this would probably or hopefully even each other out.

Sounds like a great collection!

Anyone familiar with Pungent Stench? Yep. Got some of that.

Including Been Caught Buttering. The album with THAT cover.

Me too. And Burzum.

Being in the UK I'm not sure how incriminating music can be on the face of it - I think the reaction in the US media and the political mileage that "the opposition" would make out of music by extreme left or right-wing, anti-christian or anti-american, ultra-violent or extremely pacifistic musicians in my collection could be less incriminating than the political stance I would be taking or the photographs of me "gothed-up" in eyeliner, blue lippy, silver nail-polish and a PVC trench coat.

I suspect the bloke in makeup bit would probably rule you out in just about every state.

If I ever tried to launch my own political career, I wonder if my short time in a thrash metal band would be incriminating? I still have the tape we recorded...
I also guess that having some records from Red Noise, Area, Napalm Death or the Dead Kennedys would prevent me from being taken serious if I joined a conservative party.

Some of my Robert Wyatt albums might pose a problem.

Released date are often when it it impacted you but recorded dates are when it really happened...

Even Alice Cooper has songs about necrophilia, Satan and murder (not to mention Dead Babies). Of course they are tongue in cheek, but the press is notoriously humorless about such things.

Probably. It probably wouldn't bode well for him to be a fan of bands like Henry Cow or Area, which I believe both hold communist views, or even probably the Krautrock bands that lived in communes and whatnot. And of course, if President Obama listened to these artists than I am quite certain that the conservative press would have a field day, with the see we told you so, he is a Socialist.

Is it possible for Mitt Romney to be a fan of the song Fortunate Son?

My collection doesn't really consist of black metal nor death metal aside from songs from samplers and Opeth. I do have one Wagner CD, but I can't really say that I am a fan. I suspect that all of my 80's hair metal and thrash metal albums could probably be an issue. I suppose having the song Rock and Roll part 2 from convicted child molester Gary Glitter is probably a bad thing.

Well, Mitt Romney IS satanic (not satanist, satanic - note the difference)...

Nothing, really. Really the few stuff i have that could maybe get me in trouble in that situation can definatly be contradicted by something else in my collection.
