Conservative Revolution Rock!



Yup. The 50 greatest conservative rock songs - as decided by conservatives. You can see the list here, with all the half-hearted justifications. The Sex Pistols, Bob Dylan, The Rolling Stones... Apparently, a song can be conservative even if the songwriter didn't mean it that way - even if the band is the fucking Clash. Here's the top five:

1. The Who - Won't Get Fooled Again
2. The Beatles - Taxman
3. The Rolling Stones - Sympathy for the Devil
4. Lynyrd Skynyrd - Sweet Home Alabama
5. The Beach Boys - Wouldn't It Be Nice

And it gets much, much worse, with Rock The Casbah at number 20, Blink 182 at 17, and Kid Rock at 49, a family-values man if there ever was one.
Anyway, predictably enough, I'll have a fine list of anti-conservative (it's easier than saying liberal or leftie or whatever) songs up later, or tomorrow, because we know the left has all the best songs. I probably won't make fifty, cos I'm a bit lazy today, so if you have any suggestions, leave a comment, or mail me, or sing it really loudly and punch someone in the face.
