#"Only The Young" by [[Journey]]. "The shadows of a golden age, a generation waits for dawn, the brave carry on, the bold and the strong". An anthem for the Reagan Generation.
#"Yours Is No Disgrace" by [[Yes]]. Written to, and about, the troops headed for Vietnam.
#"Yours Is No Disgrace" by [[Yes]]. Written to, and about, the troops headed for Vietnam.
#"Fair Exchange" by [[Kansas (band)|Kansas]]. A warning about totalitarian governments who want to exchange your freedom for a "new perfect order".
#"Fair Exchange" and "Sparks of the Tempest" by [[Kansas (band)|Kansas]]. Warnings about totalitarian governments who want to take away your freedom in the name of utopia. Also much of their early 80s material, which has Christian lyrics.
#"In America" by the [[Charlie Daniels]] Band. Patriotism makes a comeback in response to the Iran hostage crisis and Soviet invasion of Afghanistan.
#"Storm the Embassy" by the [[Stray Cats]]. Another conservative song about the Iran hostage crisis.
#"We Must Take America Back" by [[Steve Vaus]]. Became an underground country music hit in 1992 after RCA dropped him and took the album out of print due to the political lyrics.
#"Renegade" by [[Steppenwolf]]. John Kay's childhood escape from Communist East Germany.
#"Capitalism" by [[Oingo Boingo]]. There's nothing wrong with free enterprise.
#"Unborn Child" by [[Seals and Crofts]]. This pro-life song was a hit single in 1974, but for some reason gets left off the Seals and Crofts greatest hits albums.
#"Bad Rap (Who You Tryin' To Kid, Kid?)" by [[Steve Taylor]]. Takes aim at LA and NY hipsters, the Village Voice, abortion, and "the left-wing band with their head in the sand".
#"Eat Starch Mom" by [[Jefferson Airplane]]. A pleasant surprise from their last album in 1972 to say the least. An angry tirade against vegetarians and tree hugging health food nuts, and a celebration of muscle cars. "It'll move faster than you can, vegetable lover!"
