	what makes these songs conservative?

	I think it's a bit odd that The Clash, one of the most left wing bands in the world, got a song on this list. It's only on the list because it was used a lot during the Iraq Wars. Even though the band was against war. The fact that it was used outraged Joe Strummer as you can imagine. Anyway, that's why Rock the Casbah made it on the list.

	Wow the National Review makes asses of themselves with this list. At least if you're going to use Lynyrd Skynyrd use "Simple Kind of Man." And "Brick" by Ben Folds? Ambiguity about a major life choice like abortion does not = conservative. Good quiz though ;)

	Good quiz, bad list. Most of these could be taken both ways, and some don't even come close to being conservative (or maybe I'm underanalyzing). The Battle of Evermore? Seriously?

	Whenever this (atrocious) list pops up I always post this URL: http://jonswift.blogspot.com/2006/05/50-more-conservative-rock-songs.html (nothing against the quiz creator, I believe in don't-shoot-the-messenger)

	I haven't looked at the lyrics for all these, but some are certainly, albeit arguably, conservative regardless of who sung them. "Taxman", for instance, reflects a strongly conservative bent from a policy perspective (smaller government, lower taxes), but I certainly wouldn't consider George Harrison conservative. Obviously. Familiarity with conservative philosophy helps here, folks. It's a fun list.

	Since when "Stand by your man" and "Der komissaar" are rock songs?

	I had to read the link to understand what conservative rock songs were. I love the inclusion of Why Don't You Get A Job.

	These individual songs express a slightly conservative view, but just about all of the artists are open liberals, so those of you who seem to think it makes the artists conservative, think...

	most of this list involves rather egregious misinterpretations of the songs...or the classification of near-universal values as "conservative" ones.
