i PM you back,

here's are two

king crimson, kinda hurts to listen at first but it gets better


april wines cover, much better version.

thought you might like this, seeing how we went off topic some. but this one is pretty close. it's what folks call southern rock and there's quite a few bands in that genre from the 70's and 80's

was looking for a certian tune and came across this one, been a long time since i heard it.

Saxon - Crusader.

found it for the life of me i couldn't remember the name of the album. here are two songs off the album.

Morning Dew. Here's Devo's version:



Since Morning Dew is more post-apocalyptic than an actual war song, here's one in german: Hundert Mann Und Ein Befehl

i thought about this morning, my mom use to listen to it when i was a kid.

Here's a couple I have always Liked.

I don't know if it's the best but it's spawned more wars than any other:

even though i didn't like to much of their music here's another one.
most people think it's about ptsd, but according to the writers it's about thoughts of the solders during the war.

Wow, thanks for a rocking thread so far everybody.

We've had a lot of great songs about total war, as well as some of the more subtle "metaphoric" wars in society (the struggles of the anti-war movements, class struggle, lgbt struggle, the war against HIV/AIDS, and the "war" between the sexes).

Great though-provoking stuff of what conflict and struggle mean to different people.

Peter Tosh - No Nuclear War.

Wow, a great new song to me.

Civil war is especially terrible to my mind, because you could be fighting people you were raised with.
Literally your "brothers".

Reminds me of The Irish Rovers - Two Little Boys (Did You Think I Would Leave You Dying?).

Bob Marley - War.

This one by Nine Inch Nails gets under my skin every time I see it. It's dark as f*** and disturbing in a way that makes you think.

a reply to: halfoldman

yea i'd hate to have to fight against my brothers in a civil war. even though when young we fought like cats and dogs.
my mom use to call us tom, jerry and spike. but couldn't nobody mess with my little brothers but me.

seeing your last post reminded me of a the 45's my parents bought us when i was about 6 or7, we played that thing everyday that summer, and for a few years afterwards.



they also got us these




the guardmen got back together for this one. not as good as the others but it work.

Mike And The Mechanics - Silent Running.

One song from South Africa.
From the "wrong" side.

Bok Van Blerk - Die Kaplyn (English subtitles).
