Conservative Rock Groups?

[Lebowski]

I was wondering if anybody can name some conservative rockers. It seams most people in the Music Industry are Left-Leaning, especially the hard stuff. I think you could say the same for most entertainment personalities, including movie stars and directors. So if any of my fellow conservatives could point me in the way of some good conservative rock groups it would be appreciated.

Ted Nugent

One simple word: CREED!

Lebowski,

FIJC has it right on, The song, "With Arms Wide Open," is about as pro-life as you will find in modern pop-culture.

[FreedominJesusChrist]

The song 'One' talks about the disparities of Affirmative Action. I just love Creed and their new CD is quite good too.

[humblegunner]

I don't know that Creed is particularly conservative,
merely Christian. The two are not the same.
Killer tunes, though.

Glen Fry

"Get Over It"

Be prepared to tolerate some of the uh anecdotal history.

P.O.D.

My 11 year old wanted their album, so I looked up the lyrics. Turns out, they started in the business as a Christian rap group. Their lyrics are actually very nice, if you can get past all the rapping.

[BoomerBob]

I always thought the group Damn Yankees (with Ted Nugent) had conservative lyrics. And of course there's Pearl Jam (just kidding). A thread from a couple of days ago mentioned Rush's libertarian/Rand lyrics.

[jude24]

Supertones -- they're an overtly Christain rap/post-ska group.

Love them, myself.

[Lebowski]

P.O.D. is pretty good. They are definetly on the Christian side. Along with Creed as a couple have mentioned. Keep them coming guys. We need more pro Liberty, pro Life, pro Christian, pro American, pro capitalist, pro constitution bands! There are way to many yuppies out there puting down our capitalist country, at the same time reaping the benefits of it. It makes me ill.

[BluesDuke]

Some people say it means the devil got my soul
but that's a bunch of sh@t - I just want to rock and roll!
I don't want to hang up my rock and roll shoes
I don't want to hand up my rock and roll shoes
I get that old time feeling every time I sing the blues.

Chuck Willis, "(I Don't Want To) Hang Up My Rock and Roll Shoes," as performed by The Band during a New Year's Eve concert, 1971-72, which was released in due course as Rock of Ages.

The harrowing part: When Chuck Willis originally released "(I Don't Want To) Hang Up My Rock and Roll Shoes" on the flip side of "What Am I Living For?", he would be dead himself of complications from peritonitis and didn't live to see both sides of the record become the final hits of his short but excellent career.

CULTURE CLUB boy george is very conservative

[FreedominJesusChrist]

Creed's Anti-Affirmative Action Song:

Creed - One

Affirmative may be justified

Take from one give to another

The goal is to be unified

Take my hand be my brother

The payment silenced the masses

Sanctified by oppression

Unity took a back seat

Sliding further in regression

One

The only way is one

I feel angry I feel helpless

Want to change the world

I feel violent I feel alone

Don't try and change my mind

Society blind by color

Why hold down one to raise another?

Discrimination now on both sides

Seeds of hate blossom further

The world is heading for mutiny

When all we want is unity

We may rise and fall, but in the end

We meet our fate together

One

The only way is one

I feel angry I feel helpless

Want to change the world

I feel violent I feel alone

Don't try and change my mind

---------------------------------------------------------

The thing that I really like about Creed is that not only is their music great, but their lyrics are also deep and not the typical sappy stuff we hear all the time on the radio.

[FreedominJesusChrist]

I always thought that P.O.D. was a punk rock group? At least their new song 'Alive' has more of a rock feel to it.

[tbg681]

There's probably a lot more than you'd think, but in the entertainment world of leftist politics, they just keep it "in the closet". Kinda like Rock Hudson kept his light-in-the-loaferness in the closest for years (of course, now it would be celebrated).

[firebrand]

There was a thread last year in the spring called something like Rockers for Life. It doesn't seem to be in the archives any more, but maybe I have the title wrong.

[Lebowski]

There old stuff was kind of punk. Their last two albums are more of a rap core rock. They also have some songs that are kind of reggae.
