Conservative Rock Music? - Vanity

[QuisCustodiet1776]

As a branch of the thread that was just posted about modern music - anyone have any suggestions for conservative rock bands? Why are there so few?

I have run across one: Tor Nemo

Can be found on CDBaby. Any others?

A few months ago, someone posted a thread about Joe Walsh's recent solo album, "Analog Man". The lyrics of the title track as well as several others ("Band Played On" in particular) indicate that Joe isn't thrilled by the Bread and Circuses of the modern Information Age. Of course, Walsh has been a ham radio enthusiast since childhood, so he hears.things from outside of his celebrity "bubble".

Most of the tracks are on YouTube, give it a listen.

"Well I heard mister Young sing about her
Well, I heard ole Neil put her down
Well, I hope Neil Young will remember
A Southern man don't need him around anyhow

Part of the Ramones...Joey was a lib I think. “The KKK Took My Baby Away” was a jab at Johnny or conservatives I think (the old myth of “right wing KKK”—as was “Bonzo Goes to Bitburg”
but Johnny was conservative I think

>>Grand Old Punks The Sunday Times reported on Johnny Ramone’s conservative beliefs today As he grew up he realised that for all his guitar thrashing, he was a conservative at heart. He opposes abortion and gay marriage and thinks welfare benefits are too generous. “Everyone in America can succeed to at least the middle-class level if they work hard enough,” he said.

Hey! I’m a pervert and a conservative.

Thanks for the replies but very few of these count as “conservative rock”.

I’m looking for rock bands with conservative political views AND conservative lyrics.

The odd song (the taxman) doesn’t count.

Christian music is fine, and there are some good bands out there, but I’m looking for political lyrics.

Based on some of these responses, I think we on the right need to stop sucking so much on the leftist culture teat and put more effort into supporting each other. We need a conservative Facebook, Amazon, and eBay for example.

Joe Perry quote: ““I’ve been a hardcore Republican my whole life,” he told the Herald. “My mother and father drilled into me from the very start that if you work hard and be positive, you’ll get what you’re working for. I guess I’m living proof of that.”
