I wonder how long it will take before one of the featured performers publicly takes offense at their song being identified as conservative.

They got the Metallica lyrics wrong.
It should be:
"So be it / Friend no more / To secure peace is to prepare for war.
"So be it / Settle the score / Touch me again with words that you will hear ever more."

Sucks that they had to put Creed on the list. Otherwise not bad. Glad it is rock songs, a lot of blantantly conservative country songs suck almost as hard as Creed. For whatever reason some of them lack any sense of subtlety.

I'm sure John Lydon would love to see his name on FR and one of his sex pistol songs listed as a conservative anthem.

There was a thread here when NRO published it seemingly months ago. It was a pretty lame list, IIRC.

Merle Haggard's "Are the Good Times Really Over" should be on the list (can't read the article).

5. "Wouldn't It Be Nice," by The Beach Boys. Sweet but brain-dead... disqualified.
11. "The Trees," by Rush.
Some took it for fascism, not knowing that Geddy himself is Jewish.
22. "Red Barchetta," by Rush. In a time of "the Motor Law," presumably legislated by green extremists, the singer describes family reunion and the thrill of driving a fast car an act that is his "weekly crime."
More than that, it was a call for performance over safety. Superficially- for sports cars over SUVs. F16s over 747s.
Excellent choices, and plenty of irony in that such artists rarely translate their own values into politics correctly. They're all libs!

Screw this. I;'m fairly sure that the founding fathers would love Rage Against the Machine's "Killing in the Name Of".
After all, what is the Declaration of Independence but a polite way of saying "F**k You, I Won't Do What You Tell Me!." ;-)

I would have included 2112 on the list....

I say that Michael Moore killed "Wouldn't it be nice" when he put it at the end of
Roger and Me. Same way he killed "The Roof is on Fire" in
Farenheit.

"Won't Get Fooled Again" is the greatest rock song of all time, regardless of politics. It is sublime.
