I agree

When it comes to music I'm a lefty.

I am a conservative that hates hates country music, and loves rock.

Here is a list of bands/musicians that I like that are liberal:

CCR/John Fogerty

The Beatles/John Lennon

Bob Dylan

U2

ColdPlay

Pear Jam

Foo Fighters

Dave Matthews

and my favorite

Jack's Mannequin/Andrew McMahon

Side: agree

They've got the creative spirit!!!

But yeah, as for musicians, if I like the music, I usually disagree with their politics.

Side: agree

A lot of John Fogerty's fans are conservative, one time at a concert he started saying something about the war in Iraq and he got booed.

They just wanted him to play. Maybe what it comes down to is different ideologies. Liberals should just pursue artistic things and stay out of politics, that would be way cool.

(only joking)

If you don't believe drugs have done good things for us, do me a favor. Go home tonight, take all your albums, all your tapes, and all your CDs and burn them. 'Cause you know what? The musicians that made all that great music that's enhanced your lives throughout the years were rrreal fucking high on drugs. The Beatles were so fucking high they let Ringo sing a few tunes!

Its the music they make not their political stand point. I have always believed that U2 was a great band and they still are. If I learned that any of the bands I like are Liberals its not like the music will leave a bad taste in my mouth -.-

A lot of musicians are liberals. Meh. Who cares? I listen to their music, not their political ideas... Although a lot of people didn't think that way for Obama... haha

Side: agree

...I'm confused. Obama is a musician?

Side: Disagree

Yeah. It's because liberals are more likely to pursue artistic careers. Conservatives are too busy trying to get rich.

Side: agree
1 point

And the lucky ones get both. Like all the ones on my list. They are rich and have artistic careers, must be nice.

Side: agree

Other bands that have taken a liberal stance who will ROCK YOUR WORLD!

TOOL (awesome)

A PERFECT CIRCLE

THE SMASHING PUMPKINS

THE FLAMING LIPS

THE MARS VOLTA

Liberals have U2, the Beatles, most indie bands, and very rarely include country. What's not to like?

Also, c'mon Jake! This entire site is liberal, of course the libs are gonna win here! And awesome picture.

Side: agree

Especially during the 60's and 70's. Liberals are creative geniuses.

Side: Agree

People make good music.

Trying to view the entire world framed in false dichotomies is foolish.

Oh come on, It's not like I said that only liberals make good music. I just think that they usually make better music.

well, technically i agree. but this side is empty, so i'll post here.

The Beatles (except for John Lennon) were actually moderate. they made fun of Socialism and taxation a lot because they felt it was stupid for the government to become big and tax the people. John Lennon of course decided that socialism was good and did stupid shit like lay in bed while his maids got hims shit. dumb fuck.

but i like System of a Down and Marilyn Manson cause they are fuckin' awesome.

but conservatives aren't only in Country:

Sex Pistols (although not Conservative in the technical sense, they are far from Liberal. they hate the idea of socialism or any form of liberal big government and actually like tradition in their country [like the royal family]).

The Ramones (Johnny Ramone was a big supporter of Bush and the War on Terror)

Skinless (Death Metal band that's lead guitarist and founder of the band is a big lover of guns and a big hater of liberals. although, all members of the group are major atheists).

Most Brutal Death Metal bands in general tend to be the individualist un-PC type bands.

Guns and Roses were very anti-immigrant and overall Conservative.

Ted Nugent, total Bad to the Bone Bad Ass and one of the biggest Conservatives in Rock n' Roll.

Slipknot during their MFKR days was pro-gun and anti-liberal. When Corey became their song writer and lead vocals though, their music slowly became more and more liberal.

Disturbed is still hard to define. they love playing for the troops and are big fans of the military, especially during these times. and they love the idea that their music is used to motivate a battalion before they go out to fight. plus, they hate Bruce Springstein as a person.

I would say most Rap and Hip-Hop artists have to be Conservative since they:

Love guns

Hate it when the man tries to take their "hard earned" money

Are very chauvinistic

and are also very un-PC

Black Metal bands tend to be elitist and misanthropic. Atheist and agnostic Conservatives (not the family values kind, i assure you) are exactly like this. Although, it may fall more under Nihilist Republicans than Conservative Republicans. Like, Plato's Republicans (copyright term by The Pyg).

Country is more like Patriotic Conservative. Sure. But i don't see why Country has to be classified as Conservative just because they talk about how America is the greatest country in the world and how Osama Bin Laden deserves a boot up the ass.

last i heard, if you're an American, it's sort of how you're supposed to think (unless you don't love it).

You do realise how far you are from the truth with that statement about the monarchy, right?

the current royal family is merely a tradition, not a monarchy anymore.

I would say most Rap and Hip-Hop artists have to be Conservative since they:

Love guns

On the flip side, I'd say that rap and hiphop artists generally don't respect laws all that well. They seem to have no problem buying illicit drugs, so wouldn't care much one way or another about gun control laws. They're perfectly fine using the black market for those needs.

and are also very un-PC

I didn't realize this was a conservative trait.

Guns and Roses may be overall conservative, but there budget for making records is ridiculously high...(higher than any other bands budget). And i think that notion is very liberal.

Side: agree
