Great conservative songs!?

John J. Miller at National Review has compiled a list of the 50 greatest "conservative" rock songs of all time.  It's a great read and I'm amazed that one of my favorite bands, Iron Maiden made the list with the "Rime of the Ancient Mariner".

It's a fun list to read...just keep in mind that not all the bands listed are not conservative, but the songs themselves have some conservative values or ideas.

There's a part two to the list as well, with two more Iron Maiden songs making the list: "Aces High" and "Mother Russia".

There's also some Rush tunes, and I love the comment about "Silent Screams" by Slayer: "Could this be the world’s only pro-life death-metal song?".  Classic!

A fun read!
