50 more conservative songs...

<snip>
Here are 50 more songs—a few that just barely missed making the cut for the original list, plus several others that I’ve learned about only this week. Consider them #51-100 on the list of great conservative rock songs. They appear in alphabetical order:

“Aces High,” by Iron Maiden. Iron Maiden - Powerslave; buy CD on Amazon.com
A tribute to the martial valor of the fighter pilots who saved Britain in 1940. On a tour in the 1980s, Iron Maiden opened concerts with a snippet from Churchill’s “Never Surrender” speech and then launched into this rocker. (My own tribute to the everlasting greatness of Iron Maiden may be read here.)

“After Forever,” by Black Sabbath. buy CD on Amazon.com
“Could it be you’re afraid of what your friends might say / If they knew you believe in God above? / They should realize before they criticize / That God is the only way to love.”

“Alive,” by P.O.D. P.O.D. - Satellite - Alive; buy CD on Amazon.com
An expression of Christian faith by a super-hip band.

“Angry Young Man,” by Billy Joel. Billy Joel - KOHUEPT - Angry Young Man; buy CD on Amazon.com
“And there’s always a place for the angry young man / With his fist in the air and his head in the sand / And he’s never been able to learn from mistakes / So he can’t understand why his heart always breaks / And his honor is pure and his courage as well / And he’s fair and he’s true and he’s boring as hell / And he’ll go to the grave as an angry old man.”

What gets me is he obviously didn't listen to all of the song, just the part that bolsters his conservative claim. Take 'Silent Running' by Mike & the Mechanics.

What he says about it:
'“Silent Running,” by Mike and the Mechanics. buy CD on Amazon.com
Pro-gun, pro-faith, and pro-freedom: “There’s a gun and ammunition / Just inside the doorway / Use it only in emergency / Better you should pray to God / The father and the spirit / Will guide you and protect from up here.”'

From the first stanza:
'Take the children and yourself
And hide out in the cellar
By now the fighting will be close at hand
Dont believe the church and state
And everything they tell you
Believe in me, Im with the high command'
Pro-faith??

From the third stanza:
'Swear allegiance to the flag
Whatever flag they offer
Never hint at what you really feel
Teach the children quietly
For some day sons and daughters
Will rise up and fight while we stood still'
anti-government!

For true conservatives, I suppose being anti-government would be a good thing. But not for these Bush-worshipping asswipes.

1. Oh, my gosh, these fuckers....

"The Living Years" is conservative? What. The. Fuck. Are. These. People. Smoking?

:banghead:

2. Conservatives think P.O.D. are super-hip?

That explains a lot.

3. HAHAHAHA THEY HAVE DEAD KENNEDYS ON THE LIST!!!!!

You fucking KNOW they're grasping at straws when they have a very overtly left-wing band on their list for writing an anti-Pol Pot song. (It's conservative to oppose brutal dictators just because they happen to be communist?)

Honestly, I'm surprised they didn't put "Kill The Poor" on the list.
