What's your favorite patriotic song? Personally, I actually like "When Johnny Comes Marching Home" and "Battle Hymn of the Republic" quite a lot. xD These songs can be interpreted in so many different ways, some better than others, but the fact remains that some of them are actually pretty good songs.

Other favorites: "Blowin' in the Wind", "A Mighty Fortress Is Our God" and "Shenandoah".

Now, American haters and followers of the Islam tradition are welcome to stay the hell away!!!!!!!!!

Also, I am kidding, of course.

:(

maybe like a nation once again or something i dunno i dont listen to irish nationalistic songs really

umm, none of them.

Hmm...

Does Fortunate Son - CCR count?
Oh Oh! How about...?
Viva la Vida - Coldplay

"That was when I ruled the world..."

blowin' in the wind is not a patriotic song. neither, i would wager a guess, is anything by coldplay. actually, nor's "a mighty fortress", being as it is a hymn.

as for my favourite choice of music to make me believe in the superiority of one enclosed polygon over another, jerusalem is alright, mostly because the poem itself is decent.

For better or worse....
Times They Are A Changing?

Teenage Wasteland?

American Pie?

All These Things That I've Done? (Killers)

Heut Ist Mein Tag?!? (Bl�mchen)

I'm voting for Come Out Ye Black and Tans.

It's funny because "When Johnny Comes Marching Home" was originally an Irish war protest song from the early 1800s.

Not EXACTLY a patriotic song, but it most definitely feels like it in some way or another.

For those who have a strange phobia of clicking links;
Firstly, I'd like to say "Fuck You", no reason.
Secondly, Its just Judas Priest - Red, White & Blue, a bonus track from the 1980 album British Steel.

I am so confused. All this time I thought all of these songs were American songs, but now you're telling me that they're not? So, America took someone elses patriotic song, and made it its own? Theft. :(

Also, "Blowin' in the Wind" and "A Mighty Fortress..." not considered to be patriotric songs? Because, I usually see them listed as such.

Well Blowin' in the Wind's an anti-war psuedo-revolutionary protest song, and A Mighty Fortress was written by Martin Luther and is a Protestant hymnal. Not to say the songs can't be used in a patriotic fashion, perhaps the second more than the first, but I would hesitate to call them patriotic as such.

"When Johnny Comes Marching Home Again" was featured on Iced Earth's CD, The Glorious Burden. Bad ass song.

A couple minutes of simple research completely disproves this. Try it yourself, kids.
