I can’t believe the “Angry American” didn’t make this list. “What This World Needs Is a Few More Rednecks” should have made the list, also. I know those songs fit more into the country category, but they should still be on the list.
On first glance, rock ’n’ roll music isn’t very conservative. It doesn’t fare much better on second or third glance (or listen), either. Neil Young has a new song called “Let’s Impeach the President.” Last year, the Rolling Stones made news with “Sweet Neo Con,” another anti-Bush ditty. For conservatives who enjoy rock, it isn’t hard to agree with the opinion Johnny Cash expressed in “The One on the Right Is on the Left”: “Don’t go mixin’ politics with the folk songs of our land / Just work on harmony and diction / Play your banjo well / And if you have political convictions, keep them to yourself.” In other words: Shut up and sing.
Of course, these songs aren’t just conservative, some of them are also Libertarian.
My favorite from this list, “Get Over It” from the Hell Freezes Over album by the Eagles.
