Partially in response to Neil Young’s new CD which sharply criticizes the Bush administration, Conservative magazine [The National Review](http://article.nationalreview.com/?q=NzZkNDU5MmViNzVjNzkzMDE3NzNlN2MyZjRjYTk4YjE=&ref=hypebot.com) 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](http://www.petetownshend.co.uk/diary/display.cfm?id=285&zone=diary&ref=hypebot.com) on his blog.

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