Conservative Top 50

1. "Won't Get Fooled Again," by The Who.
The conservative movement is full of disillusioned
revolutionaries; this could be their theme song, an
oath that swears off naive idealism once and for all.
"There's nothing in the streets / Looks any different
to me / And the slogans are replaced, by—the—bye. . .
. Meet the new boss / Same as the old boss." 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.
