Best Anti-War songs?
Hey all,
Just wondering if anyone had any particular favourite anti-war songs... well besides me I guess.
Personally I don't like the standard "hippy" crap, I'm more of a fan of the songs that speak to the sorrow and loss.
The Pogues - The Band Played Waltzing Matilda
Dropkick Murphys - Green Fields of France
A Perfect Circle - Imagine (good video too)
CCR - Run Through The Jungle
Irish Rovers - Farwell to Nova Scotia
Emerson Lake & Palmer - Lucky Man

"Give Peace a Chance" - John Lennon
"Sky Pilot" - I think the Animals? FYI, a Sky Pilot is also a name for a military chaplain. I defy anyone to listen to the entire song without getting weepy.

Sky Pilot is by The Animals.... was going to list it, but the song has never really "grabbed" me (stylisticaly I guess - it just seemed like they were trying to hard).

I'm sure it's because my elder brother listened to it over and over and over and over and over... I love the sound of bagpipes to this day! Also,
Blowin' In the Wind - Bob Dylan
Cruel War - Peter, Paul, and Mary (but originated during the War Between the States)

Requiem for the Masses -- Terry Kirkman and the Association
(Four Dead in) Ohio -- Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young
Scarborough Fair -- Simon and Garfunkle (The part about Generals order their soldiers to kill, and to fight for a cause they have long ago forgotten.
Where Have All The Flowers Gone -- Peter, Paul and Mary
Peace Train -- Cat Stevens
I'm sure I'll think of more.

Great call. David Crosby cried after performing the take for the album.

The pipers are playing "All The Bluebonnet's Are Over The Border" (about the Jacobite invasion of England in 1745) by the Royal Scot Dragoon Guards.

Green Day's "Holiday"? I think that's what it's called. Major brain farts today.

Was that pro-Jacobite or not? I know that the whole area was full of war at the time!
