When I started looking at my favourite Independence Day songs I quickly realized that there is no such thing as a top 5, 6 or even top 10 list. There are way too many songs out there that really grab the spirit of America. So, I picked one song from each genre of Rock, Pop, Hip-Hop, Country, Classical and 3 that I think stand out above all the rest, the Red, White and Blue.
Rock
Honourable Mention
- Kid Rock – Born Free
- Jimmi Hendrix – Star Spangled Banner
Pop
Honourable Mention
Really, I had to dig deep to find one “decent” pop song, but my kids loved Miley back in the day and she’s a product of Disney. There are no other mentions in this genre.
Hip-Hop
Honourable Mention
Not a chance…this is the only one there is. Seriously, listen to the lyrics. You could write a book report about Paul Revere after listening to this tune :/
Country
Honourable Mention
This will make up for the last two categories. There is no shortage of great country songs and artists that really hit the patriotic message.
- Toby Keith – Courtesy of the Red, White and Blue
- Lee Greenwood – God Bless the USA
- Billy Ray Cyrus – Some Gave All
Classical
Honourable Mention
Any song of the United States Military.
Red (3 rd Place)
White <- You can’t see it, but it says White in White (2nd Place)
and BLUE!
