Conservative Top 50

I love lists and the New York Times has created a list of the Conservative Top 50 Rock Songs with explanations. On one hand, I can see the subtle humor. On the other hand, this is a pretty cool list of tunes.

My favorite was number 1 and the comments about The Who:
The instantly recognizable synthesizer intro, Pete Townshend's ringing guitar, Keith Moon's pounding drums, and Roger Daltrey's wailing vocals make this one of the most explosive rock anthems ever recorded — the best number by a big band, and a classic for conservatives.
The writer must be a Who fan too. You want explosive music? Listen to the entire Who's Next album this song is on as well as Quadrophenia. Both albums will give your speakers a serious workout.

Time to haul out the DVD of their live concert footage, The Kids Are Alright.
