Non rock: God Bless America sung by Kate Smith, which I think should really be our National Anthem.
Rock: David Lee Roth–Yankee Rose (this also qualifies and one of my favorite videos of all time). Honorable mentions: Surfing’ U.S.A–The Beach Boys, You Can Still Rock In America-Night Ranger, R.O.C.K In The USA–John Mellencamp, Lenny Kravitz‘s cover of American Woman

RPS, agree 100% with Damn Yankees “Don’t Tread On Me,” like Metallica’s version as well.
Hendrix’s National Anthem at Woodstock? Timeless classic perfection!
I also agree with Damn Yankees Don’t Tread On Me, great song.

Totally agree on Gettysburg Trilogy, Ripper at his finest!!
Actually saw that tour and it was phenomenal
Just heard, Grand Funk Railroad‘s We’re An American Band, on the radio. I am surprised no one mentioned this song?
Would it qualify as patriotic?
Seen GFR last year, definitely qualifies as patriotic! They were awesome!
