Miller’s List is solely one of songs he claims listeners felt defined conservative values for them. I don’t know that anybody is disagreeing with a definition of conservative, or that a definition of liberal is even relevant.

My own views are certainly not conservative but it would strike me as horribly arrogant to claim that there are no individual songs out there that conservative people feel define conservative values for them, even if those songs are misrepresented.

What would your list, meeting Miller’s criteria, be?

2. cautiously moderate or purposefully low: a conservative estimate.
3. traditional in style or manner; avoiding novelty or showiness: conservative suit.
