Backmasking began with The Beatles. John Lennon, while under the influence of cannabis, played the tapes for "Tomorrow Never Knows", a song from Revolver, in reverse. Lennon enjoyed the sound of the song being played backwards, and shared the results with the other Beatles the following day. He then wrote "Rain", intending the song to be recorded entirely backwards; but George Martin (who claims he discovered the backwards effect) rejected this, and only the final verse was played backwards.

Just before the break-up of The Beatles in 1970, DJ Russell Gibb initiated the infamous "Paul Is Dead" urban legend (a rumor that Beatle Paul McCartney had died) by playing certain Beatles records backwards to reveal hidden messages. One album in particular, The Beatles (often called The White Album) was said to contain backwards messages. Intentional gibberish at the end of "I'm So Tired" was supposedly "Paul is dead, man, miss him, miss him..."[1] Likewise, the repeated words "Number nine, number nine, number nine..." in "Revolution 9" were supposedly "turn me on, dead man, turn me on, dead man..." backwards.

Another well-known example of alleged backmasking is found in rock group Led Zeppelin's 1971 song "Stairway to Heaven." If a portion of the song is played backwards, then supposedly words beginning with "Here's to my sweet Satan" can be heard [1]. But Swan Song Records issued the statement: "Our turntables only play in one direction—forwards"[2]. And Led Zeppelin vocalist Robert Plant denied the accusations in an interview [3]: "To me it's very sad, because 'Stairway To Heaven' was written with every best intention, and as far as reversing tapes and putting messages on the end, that's not my idea of making music."

In 1981, Styx was accused of putting the backwards message "Satan move through our voices" on the song "Snowblind." This prompted the band to compose the rock opera "Kilroy Was Here," about a future where rock and roll is outlawed by moralists.

Other artists accused of backmasking include AC/DC, The Eagles, Rush, Prince, Sweet, Black Oak Arkansas, and J. Geils Band.

Slayer's 1985 album Hell Awaits is a prominent example of hidden Satanic messages in music. The album starts with a demonic-sounding voice that, when played backwards, urges "Join Us" over and over at increasing volumes[5]. The Cradle of Filth song "Dinner at Deviants Palace" consists almost entirely of ambient sounds and a reversed reading of the Lord's Prayer[6] (being able to say the Lord's Prayer backwards was perceived in the Middle Ages as a sign of being a witch). Another lesser-known example is in the Alan Parsons Project album The Turn of a Friendly Card: at the very end of the first track "May be a price to pay," a backward message is inserted, constructed by the words "something's been going on, there may be a price to pay" played in reverse. The message, in clear Spanish, is "Escucha, baby, al Demonio, es bien fácil"[citation needed] (Listen, baby, to the Demon, it's so easy).

Some of the controversy deals with songs that are not necessarily Satanic, but simply anti-Christian. Black metal band Darkthrone's Transilvanian Hunger album contains, when listened to backwards, "In the name of God, let the churches burn"[7]. Death rock group Christian Death's song "Mysterium Iniquitatis" is sung almost entirely backwards, and when reversed, expresses atheistic beliefs[citation needed].

Finally, some backmasking is controversial because of its violent themes. On Born Dead, a 1994 album from heavy metal band Body Count, which contains a backward message on the song "Killing Floor": "Body Count, ************. Burn in hell!"[citation needed]. The Finnish metal act Turmion Kätilöt, on their 2005 EP Niuva 20, inserted a deliberate backwards message in a robotic-sounding voice about halfway through the second track, "Kirosana" ("Profanity"), which, when played backwards, says, "Raiskatkaamme tämä helvetillinen maanpäällinen taivas. Siinä sinulle elämän tarkoitus"[citation needed] (roughly translating to "Let's rape this hellish heaven on earth. There's your meaning of life.").

An example in less hardcore culture was the controversy over the theme tune of the popular childrens' television anime Pokémon. It is alleged that the words "Gotta catch 'em all", when played backwards, say "I love Satan" or "Oh, Satan"[8]. Many Christians had already branded the show as demonic, and this provided further evidence.
