[Red Bear]

Good call GoTheBears.

Victims Of The Future - Gary Moore. About the turmoil in Belfast.

Damn straught EG, bloody great song.

War - System Of A Down
Glass War - NoFX

 

[Booyah]

Vietnam war - Jefferson Airplane; White rabbit, Somebody to love.

 

[aphelion]

Both Iraq wars: Slayer - Angel of Death

I think you mean Mandatory Suicide or perhaps Chemical Warfare. Angel Of Death was about Nazi doctor Josef Mengele. You could throw in War Ensemble as well, it seems like every second Slayer song had a war theme 10-15 odd years ago.

 

[CanadianSteve]

Marvin Gaye's classic What's Going On has a Vietnam reference in one verse:

Father, father,
We don't need to escalate.
See, war is not the answer,
Only love can conquer hate.

 

[Chanandalar]

Paschendale - Iron Maiden
The Trooper - Iron Maiden

Suprised neither have been mentioned yet

 

[Follow Me Up To Carlton]

Masters of War - Bob Dylan

Come Out Ye Black and Tans - Wolfe Tones.

I'm suprsised no one has mentioned One by Metallica. I think it's about Nam.

 

[Red Bear]

One is a great song, isnt it about a the horrors of a landmine victem?

 

[Evilgrowler]

Battle Cry - Saxon

Warrior - Saxon

 

[Azkatro]

Redgum - I Was Only 19
Metallica - One (more effective with filmclip)
Barry McGuire - Eve Of Destruction

My gf offered "War (What Is It Good For)" by Edwin Starr.

I Was Only 19 gives me shivers everytime I listen to it.
