As I saw it, there were two kinds of songs on that list:

Songs that reference violence or armageddon.
Songs by Rage Against The Machine.

Note that EVERY SINGLE Rage Against The Machine song was on that list.

Recall that Rage Against The Machine are anti-corporate activists and it's
pretty clear that it has nothing to do with violence or probably even the
event on September 11.
