I was fully expecting a country music song from someone I never heard before. I was pleasantly surprised to see it was Mark, Don, and Mel, from my hometown.
We're an American Band made it to #1 on the Billboard Hot 100. So did The Loco-Motion. Some Kind of Wonderful made it to #3 and Bad Time got up to #4. Those were all 4 of their Top 10 hits, but some of their other songs were really good too. I'm Your Captain/Closer To Home only made it up to #22.

"I'm Your Captain" only made it to 22. Well hell, not where I was from that sucker kicked the door down. They had a lot of good songs and were very popular down around New Orleans and Baton Rouge.

If I didn't read it at Wikipedia I would have thought it was a #1 hit. When I was at Fort Polk, LA there weren't any rock stations I could get on the radio. I soon found out all I could get was country music then mostly used my new clock radio as an alarm clock. Believe it or not I'm still using it daily 38 years later. I heard there was a good rock station in New Orleans but that's on the other side of the state. I never realized how much I liked Bob Seger until I was down there and he was never on the radio.
I just did a search for pro 2nd amendment songs and came up with country, rap, and country-rap songs. There were some links to Don’t Let ’em Take Your Gun, but not much else came up for rock songs.

Baton Rouge had the best AM rock station, WLCS. New Orleans had WTIX and WNOE battling it out...they were OK but WLCS was better.
