National Review Publishes Top 50 Conservative Songs

Partially in response to Neil Young's new CD which sharply criticizes the Bush administration, Conservative magazine The National Review has published a "The Top 50 Greatest Conservative Songs" of all time. Clever idea until you take a look at the top 10 and ask if you believe that the artist who wrote and sang these songs intended to send a Conservative message:

"Won’t Get Fooled Again" - The Who **
"Taxman" - The Beatles
"Sympathy for the Devil" - The Rolling Stones
"Sweet Home Alabama" - Lynyrd Skynyrd
"Wouldn’t It Be Nice" - The Beach Boys
"Gloria" - U2
"Revolution" - The Beatles
"Bodies" - The Sex Pistols
"Don’t Tread on Me" - Metallica
"20th Century Man" - The Kinks

** The Who's Pete Townshend responds on his blog.

Next week Hypebot will be publishing a Top 50,000 Liberal Songs with a surprisingly similar Top 10.
