12 Great Anti-Royalty Songs For Queen Elizabeth's Diamond Jubilee Concert

The U.S. may have shed this burden with their Boston tea parties and American revolutions back in the 1770s, but for most of the rest of the English speaking world, and specifically for British Commonwealth nations like Canada, the Diamond Jubilee Celebrations for Queen Elizabeth II are a really big deal. (Or so we are told by the monarchy-obsessed media.)

In honor of the Queen being in power for 60 years, various members of the royal family have been tooling around the world all year having fancy parties in the name of Queen and country and pissing off Morrissey (who regularly savages the "so-called Royal family").

One of the biggest events is happening June 4 at Buckingham Palace in London, England when the Diamond Jubilee BBC Concert takes place. Some of the acts set to appear include Shirley Bassey, Jessie J, Elton John, Tom Jones, Annie Lennox, Madness, Paul McCartney, Kylie Minogue, Ed Sheeran and Stevie Wonder.

It's kinda a thing.

Here at Spinner our attitude about the whole production is a bit more in line with the Rock of Punk than the House of Windsor. So instead we put together a list of 12 Great Anti-Royalty Songs.
