Top Ten 4th of July Songs

This country classic about escaping an abusive relationship is the perfect 4th of July song. Martina's vocal delivery, along with the lyrics and instrumental makes this song all-American! Let freedom ring!

Star Spangled Banner, Whitney Houston

Pop diva Whitney Houston brought America's national anthem into the top ten for the first time. Her rendition was magnificent. Her technique was at is prime when it was originally recorded. This song has to be blared or sang at some point during Independence Day! It's only natural.

Born In the USA, Bruce Springsteen

How can you not play this song on the 4^th of July? This 80's classic is all about the working class American! We work hard , let's celebrate it!

America, Neil Diamond

This corny pop track lavishly depicts love for America. It's a standard for any 4^th of July soundtrack.

Sweet Home Alabama, Lynard Skynyrd

This song is only about one state in the union, but this rock classic is about pride. Be proud of your state. Salute your neighbor!

American Pie, Don Mclean

What is more American than pies and a Chevy? If pop is more your thing, play Madonna's version!

Fight the Power, Public Enemy

We had to fight for independence and equality. This song reminds us that some Americans got more freedom before others. This is one of the best rap tracks of all times. Rise up against injustice. Don't be afraid, make your voice heard!

What's Going On, Marvin Gaye

During these tumultuous times we all need to revaluate ourselves. What is going on with the world today? We should be outraged. We have to make a change. That is what this soulful classic reminds us of.

Keith has polarizing political views, and supports all things republican. This song may be hard for democrats to stomach, but this song is a great Independence Day tune for all the elephants!

American Idiot, Green Day

This track, along with the Album of the same name, brought Green Day back to the top of the charts. This isn't your grandmother's song about America, but it's still a great track. I know I don't want to be a redneck American, what about you?
