Half these guys and gals are strung out on drugs, they don't know what they are saying, the other half just want the liberals to legalize drugs, and don't know what they are saying! I could not possibly hold this against them, not to mention I ripped their tunes from napster years ago.:lol:
 
I'm Ultra-conservative, but there are about 5 or 6 bands on that list that I listen to. 1 of them is dead, and the rest of them have broken up

Jeff Buckley - dead
Juliana Hatfield - my favorite artist of all time.
Natalie Merchant - she's OK
Veruca Salt - again, OK

Strike that, 3 artists(1 of which is dead), and 1 band that no longer has the original members. Artists of any type tend to be liberal...liberals got the creativity, conservatives got the brains....that's quite alright with me. People are allowed to have different views. I listen to these artists for their music, not their viewpoints on politics, and, infact, I don't think any one of these 4 artists has ever put out politically charged music.
 
liberals got the creativity, conservatives got the brains

except one conservative: George W. Bush
sorry, he may have other good traits, but acute intelligence is certainly not one of them.

Point taken, but he's still a good guy. Not all conservatives are super-smart, just as not all liberals are creative.

Where does one find a list like this anyways?
 
i wonder if the guy actually went through his playlist doin this....
 
nkgupta80 said:

and if he did, did he delete all of these bands from his playlist?

He does have a point, though. Any time I hear most of these people on the radio I turn it off. Who wants to hear an American call Americans a bunch of "Pig Dogs" (I've never heard those exact words, but if it gets much worse than the latest Green Day single, that's about what they'll literally be saying
 
Scotty

That's stupid, honestly!

You forgot Anti-Flag. If I picked my music based on my political standing, then I'd be SOLed! I have my own unique political standing, now get off the band wagon, and realize that I'm going to pro-test this and EVERY war for the rest of my life. Humans aren't made to do battle, which is why we don't have a protective covering IE. Exo-Skeleton, or even a shell.

Good luck with your boycott, maybe you'll soon realize that boycotting famous musicians is like persuading a bible thumper that evoultion is the raw deal, its impossible.
 
I'm a moderate Conservative...

My favorite group?...The Beatles...

My second favorite...yup...Frank Zappa!

It's a crazy world people....:shock:

Point of view differing from that of the government=Treason ---I'll have to keep that in mind. :roll:
 
just curiuos

I thought greenday was anarcist?

I havent come across any political music from coldplay attal. What makes you think there liberal? They have in involved in campains which actually oposse free trade so in that sence they are very unliberal

I would say rage against the machine was to left-wing to be liberal but i guess that depends on your definition

Yes, registered democrat Toby Keith. :roll:

So holding liberal views, and having anti-war sentiment is a "traitorous activity"? Well, call me a traitor to the nation then...And here I thought I loved my country. I guess I was wrong.

How about I purchase music based on what music I like. I think that fits me better anyway. Maybe I'll choose a politician for his political stance. Yea, that makes sense. It apparently also makes me a traitor. Oh well...
 
BEtween the folks who dies before the war was a blip and the bands that no longer exist, I can't helop butget a hearty, knee-slapping belly laugh from this list. Of course the idea is a straneg cross between absurd, silly, grotesque and obscene.

Musician are valued for their music. I don't really give a rat's ass about their politics- unless, of course, they're kooky or otherwise eccentrically interesting

Exactly...As I've posted earlier, I like Zappa; that right there should force me to give in my Conservative membership card.

The exception is when an artist starts going off during a performance and turns it into a political rant. There are certain people or groups where you KNOW it's coming(U2, Bruce Springsteen, Sting)...It's the ones that blindside that annoy me...

Near the close of her performance, Ronstadt dedicated the Eagles hit "Desperado" to Moore, producer of "Fahrenheit 9/11," and the room erupted into equal parts boos and cheers.

She said Moore "is someone who cares about this country deeply and is trying to help."

Ronstadt has been making the dedication at each of her engagements since she began a national tour earlier this summer, but it has never sparked such a reaction.

Hundreds of angry fans streamed from the theater as Ronstadt sang. Some of them reportedly defaced posters of her in the lobby, writing comments and tossing drinks on her pictures.

Timmins told Las Vegas Sun gossip columnist Timothy McDarrah: "We live in a city where people come from all over the world to be entertained. We hired Ms. Ronstadt as an entertainer, not as a political activist.

"Whether you are politically on the left or on the right is not the point. She went up in front of the stage and just let it out. This was not the correct forum for that."

Oh, here's another liberal rock band. LOL:

Indie rockers force Hannity to change number


A few weeks ago, we introduced you to Brooklyn indie agit-popsters Kids Against Combs, who’d just finished an album that used the private phone number of Fox News loudmouth Sean Hannity as its title. (See "Combs Nail Hannity," This Just In, July 15.)

Sean Hannity (631) 673-8003 was set to be released on July 21 by 10-34 Records. But, according to a press release sent out last week by the band, Kids Against Combs and 10-34 were issued papers on July 15 from Hannity’s attorneys, "threatening to sue both parties if they proceeded with releasing an album named after Hannity’s home phone number and containing the political pundit’s home address in the CD’s liner notes." (The digits, meanwhile, are now disconnected; "changed to an unlisted number," says the recording.)
 
Geez, that's a pretty miserable list of allowances...
Pat Boone? Brittany Spears? No thanks...

Mybe if I stick to looong dead musicians, no one will get offended.
Django anyone? Oh crap he was French!:shock:

:smile:

ROTFL...I agree..pretty miserable list of musicians to pick from.

And Pat Boone made that heavy metal album!!! He shouldn't be on the accepted list, should he?!

Here's the deal...music has always been an avenue of social comment and criticism. It will always be this way. If the originator of this thread has their way, our rights will truely be gone.

That list was compiled by Conservatives for Freedom?

Freedom? That's the biggest load of hypocritical garbage I've ever read.

You mean suicide is a form of death? Gasp, I never knew! :doh
 
Aw shucks, and I just downloaded John Prine's newest release: "Some humans ain't human" with a line of lyric which reads: "Or you're feelin' your freedom and the world's off your back, then some cowboy from Texas starts his own war in Iraq."

Or what about System of a Down? I guess their "new metal/ New punk" sound tends to fly a bit under the radar, huh?

Sorry dim-wit OP, but as artists, they are protected by our constitution to freely express and dessent as they see fit.

You don't like it? Tough, change the station. No one is holding a gun to your head forcing you to listen.

But don't force-feed your opinions on anyone else.

That's so sweet that you have confused Nationalism with Patriotism, but I'm sure our founding fathers are doing flips in their graves.


Oh and just an FYI: If you "approve" of Britney Spears, I suggest you check your value system at the door! Yeah, there's someone I want my nieces to emulate...

NOT
 
Wow, why not just take away all my CD's?

How does boycotting music stop anti-war..which is for stopping war...so....

Yeah, oh well.
 
Nirvana (following the suicide death of the band's lead singer the group has worked under the name "Foo Fighters")

HAHAHAHAH, obviously you're not very smart when it comes to the history of bands.

Let me enlighten you!

Uh oh! Not once do I see Nate Mendel in Nirvana. Nor do I see Taylor Hawkins.. nor do I see Chris Shiflett.

Maybe you should wise up on your musical backgrounds before you try boycotting them.

Please, get real. This nimrod who started this thread is just another goosestepping bush-bot. Give me a break. Reality never once plays into his fantasy world.

At best he's some chain yanker simply spewing out what he believes is the right-wing agenda.
 
Does this guy know that he left out about half of the 60s and 70s rock bands, and boycott Cash because he protested Vietnam? I am glad to see that this list is focused on the current war.

There is another thing missing, it is a little tour called the Vans Warped Tour. Yep it is a bunch of Anti-Americans traveling around corrupting this nation's youth.
