Default Hidden Messages In Songs

There was a disscussion about this on another board I visit, and was wondering what some of the JT's opinions were on this:
Music Reversals
Backward messages in music (commonly known as Backward Masking) have been a controversy ever since the late 60s, when messages were found backwards on some Beatles' albums that hinted Paul McCartney had died. The controversy raged extensively in the late 70s and early 80s when religious fundamentalists claimed that Satan possessed the minds of singers, causing them to insert messages backwards into albums. As we now know, many of these backward messages were in fact examples of Reverse Speech in music. Speech reversals occur naturally in all forms of speech, sung or spoken. This site lists some examples of Reverse Speech in music.

From http://www.reversespeech.com/music_reversals.htm

Do you think that artists deliberately put messages into their songs that can be heard when the song's played backwards? Who'd actually listen to songs backwards anyway??
