For how 'bout some presidential campaign songs!

The playlist from the DNC last month is pretty tough to beat, but there are some good ones in here! (And some groaners.)

Is this an interesting topic for a RNRA Short? We kinda think so, but have at it the comments.

A list of songs that have been used for presidential campaigns from across 50 years of American elections.

Rock N Roll Archaeology (RNRA) is more than a podcast about the history of Rock Music; it’s an immersive, carefully researched and produced audio documentary.

What happens when classical music-style levels of ambition, invention and sheer length are grafted onto pop music? The answer: Prog Rock

You can listen to Chapter 25 right here.

Or (and this is is so much better) go to our Patreon--link in the first comment--and for just one measly little dollar you can listen to ALL RNRA Podcasts Ad Free, the way it oughta be!

That's all!

Oh, sorry, one more thing: Keep Up The Rockin!

Progressive Rock reached its zenith during the early 1970s, a period often celebrated as the genre's golden age. This era of Prog Rock has inspired intense opinions—both positive and negative—that rival those of any other rock movement or genre throughout music history.

From the New York Intelligencer:

After trying out a few Kamala Harris insults...this week Trump launched another head-scratcher: “Kamabla.”

At the RNRA Brain Trust, we know better.

No heads are being scratched here.

It's the title of an outtake by the great (and we think sorely underrated) 70s Pop Vocal group, Three Dog Night.
