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:

  1. "Won’t Get Fooled Again" – The Who **
  2. "Taxman" – The Beatles
  3. "Sympathy for the Devil" – The Rolling Stones
  4. "Sweet Home Alabama" – Lynyrd Skynyrd
  5. "Wouldn’t It Be Nice" – The Beach Boys
  6. "Gloria" – U2
  7. "Revolution" – The Beatles
  8. "Bodies" – The Sex Pistols
  9. "Don’t Tread on Me" – Metallica
  10. "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.
