I remember my parents showing us a video about "satanic" music. Black Sabbath, Ozzy Osbourne, Rush, Styx, the Eagles...you name a late 70's band, they were in there. Some of the bands actively courted that image, of course, but the whole thing was pretty patently ridiculous.
Their lyrics, their iconography, their album illustrations were all trotted out as 'proof' that the bands had sold their souls to the devil and were trying to recruit us to the dark side.
