Torturous Music Choices

The new issue of Mother Jones has a short little piece about music used by the U.S. military and prisons for a variety of torturous situations.

Music has been used in American military prisons and on bases to induce sleep deprivation, "prolong capture shock," disorient detainees during interrogations—and also drown out screams.

Here's the playlist: overall fairly jingoistic, but mostly fairly listenable. I can't believe Rage Against the Machine made the list. I feel like terrorists would agree with most of the song. Oh and the website has a little app that plays all the songs if you're curious about how it'd sound to torture yourself. Any songs you think should have made the list, but didn't? Leave it in the comments.
