Right-Wing Rock


As we say goodbye — or, depending on your point of view, good damn riddance — to Bush/Cheney, it seems a good time to resurrect a fantastic mix right-wing songs compiled by the superb English music journalist Taylor Parkes, who also wrote outstanding sleeve notes (included in the file). The mix first appeared on the virtually dormant Touchedmix blog (which kindly gave us permission to relink) and created quite a stir at the time. A few artists are surprise inclusions, such as the Kinks or Merle Haggard (and even the Dixie Chicks-baiting Toby Keith says he is a Democrat). The weirdest songs of the lot are those dictated by John Lennon from beyond the grave to the medium Linda Polley. Give insanity a chance?

  1. Very funny - and scary - selection!
    (The Jam alongside Mormons ??!!!)

    Well, you know there are critics who stipulate that rock has become essentially right-wing (huge arena crowds, rigid 4/4 or 2/4 beats)

    as opposed to more swinging rhythms... :->

    Great way to celebrate the day.

    ps - i didn´t know your blog, and really loved your logo! the jukeboxes promise tons of fun - will have to start listening to these gems!
