More Top 50 Conservative Rock Songs

By now, everyone's seen the list put together by the National Review of the Top 50 Conservative Rock Songs. Number one? "Won’t Get Fooled Again,” by The Who. Number 50? “Stand By Your Man,” by Tammy Wynette. Which... isn't actually a rock song, but, hey, whatever. Most people, however, do not know that the list originally went to 60. Here now, for the first time anywhere, are numbers 51- 60.

51. "Head Like a Hole," by Nine Inch Nails.
A great song to communicate the glory of God and the promise of an afterlife to today's youth. "Bow down before the one you serve / You're going to get what you deserve." Indeed, when we give ourselves over to God, we open ourselves up to all the gifts he wants to bestow upon us. And when we serve Him, we get what we deserve when he welcomes us through the Pearly Gates.

52. "Masters of War," by Bob Dylan.
A song that really lays out the military superiority of the American forces. "You that build the death planes / You that build the big bombs." That's right. BIG bombs! USA! USA! USA! And watch out for our death planes, too. USA! USA! USA!

53. "Goody Two Shoes," by Adam Ant.
An important song from the early 80s new wave act that shows kids that it's okay if they "don't drink don't smoke". So, "what do they do?" Respect their bodies, that's what.

54. "American Idiot," by Green Day.
Not everyone is fooled by the liberal media's attempt to dumb down America. "Don't wanna be an American idiot / Don't want a nation under the new media / And can you hear the sound of hysteria?" We hear the liberal hysteria, Green Day, we hear it everyday.

55. "Minimum Wage," by They Might Be Giants.
47 seconds. That's all it takes They Might Be Giants to communicate just how damaging America's minimum wage laws are to small businesses.

56. "Shameless," by Ani DiFranco.
A song about avoiding temptation and living by God's plan. Andy DiFranco talks honestly about how hard it can be to always follow God's Commandments as he finds himself coveting his neighbor's wife. "I gotta cover my butt 'cuz I covet / another man's wife / I got to divide my emotions / between wrong and right." Choosing the right path isn't always easy, but doing so is better than having God "be mad at us."

57. "Dear God," by XTC.
Is there anything sweeter than a child writing a letter to God?

58. "People Are Strange," by The Doors.
A stinging condemnation of the pinko commie bastards that infect Hollyweird and California to this day. "People are strange" with their weirdo hair and clothes. "Faces look ugly" when you don't shower, you tree huggers. "When you're strange / no one remembers your name." Get a job, hippie!

59. "It's The End Of The World As We Know It (And I Feel Fine)," by R.E.M.
"The other night I tripped a nice continental drift divide. Mount St. Edelite / Leonard Bernstein. Leonid Breshnev, Lenny Bruce and Lester Bangs / Birthday party, cheesecake, jelly bean, boom! / You symbiotic, patriotic, slam, but neck, right? Right." R.E.M. gets it. Without Medicare reform in place, we are dooming our childrens' future.

60. "Don't Do Me Like That," by Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers.
A stronger condemnation against sodomy has never been recorded. Petty has clearly read his Bible.
