What songs do you feel have a Conservative slant?

[youngFreeper]

Just for fun I would like to see what songs everyone feels has a coservative flavor.

[alcuin]

Betcha that means amidst some of that "nostalgia" you were either firing one up, OR washin' one down :-D

As fate would have it, I was studying rules of verse at the time.

At an alehouse.

But it burned down, 'cause of all the alcoholic trannies what was smokin' opium.

Oh well.

I don't know anything about greg Ginn or the Circle Jerks politics, but The Clash and the Milkmen are raving libs . . .

what are the lyrics to "Howard Beware" ?

[drjimmy]

'You Can't Be Too Strong' by Graham Parker is an anti-abortion song, as the woman rationalizes: "It's just a mistake, I won't have to face. Don't give it a name, don't give it a place. Don't give it a chance, it's lucky in a way."

[Captainpaintball]

GREETINGS, fellow Steely Dan fan! How about Donald Fagen's BRILLIANT track "New Frontier" from his CLASSIC "The Nightfly" album?

It seems to be a young boy's dream of a space-race-era 1960s America and its future. Some say it's dark, cynical, naive and ironic, but I think that's one of those songs where you can go either way with.

[Big Guy and Rusty 99]

I am a Christian and I agree that those are some great albums.

going to see Dylan this Saturday!

[Jean Chauvin]

No category was given, so here it goes....

A Mighty Fortress is our God

Amazing Grace!

Praise the Savior

When I Survey the Wondrous Cross

Christ Shall Have Dominion

When Peace Like a River ...especially the last verse!

Oh Lord, haste the day when my faith shall be sight
The clouds be rolled back as a scroll
The trump shall resound and The Lord shall descend
Even so -it is well with my soul!

Jesus Shall Reign Where'er the Sun

Great is Thy Faithfullness

Nothin' liberal here! I could go on.

[Big Guy and Rusty 99]

a lot of the death metal bands are also anti-abortion.

[alcuin]

Where do you think Their Satanic Majesties concept came from?

That was their biggest goof, to be sure; but rivalry is a misleading term in the Beatles/Stones context. It was more a call-and-answer deal ON THE PART OF THE STONES who, like all bands of the time, used the Beatles as a reference point.

The Stones were so close to the Beatles in digestive resources as to be on ALMOST equal footing (they specialized, the Beatles didn't), and the interaction produced what is a great era in music (to my mind, the best).

Certainly Majesties is laughable compared to Pepper; but Bleed can hold its own with anything. If it was, indeed, a riposte to LIB, so much the better: the Stones synthesized their times in a way that the Beatles (relative lunkheads that they were) could never do.

[185JHP]

No, I didn't know that they wrote the song. It gives me goose bumps when I hear it - a great song about a great country. Thanks and FReegards.

[SunTzuWu]

"Please Don't Judas Me" by Nazareth.

Please don't judas me
Treat me as you like to be treated
Please don't blacklist me
Leave me as you'd wish to find me
Don't analyze me, sacrifice me
Please don't judas me.

Please don't chastise me
Show me just one shred of kindness
Try to help me see
Guide me in my eyes of blindness
Don't despise me, categorize me
Please don't judas me.

No, no don't judas me
No, please don't judas me

Please don't headshrink me
Don't disguise your innuendos
Make no lies to me
I can see the way the wind blows
Don't deface me, annihilate me
Please don't judas me.

Please don't number me
Don't betray my trusted promise
Please don't anger me
I find it hard to bear no malice.
Don't frustrate me, manipulate me
Please don't judas me

No no don't judas me
No,please don't judas me

That's a start.

NOW . .

Why was I wrong?

Do I know you? Your name strikes a chord . .

Seriously (and rock is serious, don't let 'em tell you otherwise, m'boy), where did my notion come from?

I know--I'LL ASK ASKEL!

Thanks for the research.

Dude.

And how could I forget:

I Greet Thee, Who My Sure Redeemer Art

RE # 369:

I stand by what I meant to say and you say it better than I ever could even if we disagree on one single point - the comparison between Pepper and Majesties. But that's a discussion for another day...

[NYCVirago]

It's funny, we never hear about "Revolution" whenever people (liberals, that is) talk about John Lennon's political songs. "Imagine", on the other hand....
