Anti-war songs

sonicl · 06.30.2006, 11:53 PM

I've just been watching a report on TV about the Battle of the Somme, which all kicked off ninety years ago today, and it set me off thinking about anti war songs.

Good ones in my opinion:

Bob Dylan - Masters of War (although my favourite is Mark Arm's version)
The Pogues - And the band played Waltzing Matilda
The Men They Couldn't Hang - Green Fields of France
Neil Young's version of Blowin' in the Wind (on Weld)

blowin in the wind is hardly anti-war.

Bright Eyes - Road to Joy

Even if you don't like him, it's worth listening to the lyrics. Even has a noise breakdown at the end.

The version on Weld most definitely is.

I love the line "All this blood coming from the television."

I'm going to listen to that now.

i loooooove masters of war. that's all that really comes to mind at the time.
isn't 'peace attack' sort of an anti-war song?

i could never understand the first line of peace attack, but then i read that it was "3 feb 03 peace". then i realized the reason i didn't understand it was that my ears didn't believe that it could possibly be the first line of a song.
