The best Songs about War.

although this song wasn't written about war, during the Vietnam War it was found to be the most popular among the troops.



an another one from The Animals

i just thought about this one and was surprised to see no one had posted it.
the viking war song,

Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah
We come from the land of the ice and snow,
From the midnight sun where the hot springs blow.
The hammer of the gods will drive our ships to new lands, T
o fight the horde, singing and crying: Valhalla, I am coming!
On we sweep with threshing oar, Our only goal will be the western shore.

Ah, ah, We come from the land of the ice and snow,
From the midnight sun where the hot springs blow.
How soft your fields so green, can whisper tales of gore,
Of how we calmed the tides of war. We are your overlords.
On we sweep with threshing oar, Our only goal will be the western shore.
So now you'd better stop and rebuild all your ruins,
For peace and trust can win the day despite of all your losing.

and i saw a cover by five fingers, here's the original.


and i wonder how many remember this one


AC/DC not a cover

Oh dear, I think I double-dosed with Efavirenz by mistake.
Wow.

Thank you.

and a different type of war, the urban war fought by teens in the inner cities at the time.

a reply to: hounddoghowlie

I mean every song on that post rocks.

If it was the 1980's I'd make a mixed tape.

a reply to: halfoldman

what you don't record songs off the radio?

a reply to: hounddoghowlie

Nah, not lately.

But you should consider becoming a DJ.

Seriously, you get the party started.

Manowar - Battle Hymn.

i use to be in a band in high school and when i got out of the Corps we got back together and did the bar scene.
we rocked hard on others people's music, just couldn't write our own for sh@@.

a reply to: halfoldman
