A few "remembrance" threads going on atm.

I'm not the best with words so using the medium of music to mark a memory.

Post your "War" themed songs to remember those affected by War.

You could have an 8 track of "bomb track" or a cassette of "conflict"

(Sabaton is cheating);-p

I'm going for "War pigs" Sabath/Faith No more

8 miles high-the byrds

It's an anti Vietnam war song, the 8 miles refers to the hight the bombers flew to drop their bombs to avoid surface to air missiles

I'm not one for Christmas but I was listening to Metal Christmas songs as I need to make a cat video for my channel. Anyway I came across this and it's really powerful especially with the music video.

Sabaton - Christmas Truce

https://youtu.be/HPdHkHslFIU

Also this one, a metal cover of You're a mean one Mr Crunch by Small Town Titans.

https://youtu.be/-cUz-zAATNI

Listen to his voice! Amazing and it'll make the hairs stand!

I'm surprised nobody's mentioned Cluture Clubs - The War Song - given that Boy George is currently in the Jungle.

Pink Floyd - When the Tigers Broke free

Actually, when you think about it, the whole of 'The Final Cut' album is about war

Glasgow / London

Travelling Soldier by the Chicks.

Okay, it’s quite specifically about the cost to America of the Vietnam war, but the sentiment is universal.

And … War Room by Tilt. That’s an obscure one, I know, but it’s the most powerful anti-war tirade I’ve ever heard. The story of a soldier injecting themselves with their sick comrade’s blood to make themselves ill enough to be sent home from the front.

Yes, I agree, and many other contemporary Great War songs, also 'Over the Hills and far away', mentioned below, as with 'The Green Fields of France'/Willy McBride, and an old Irish song, 'The Minstrel Boy'.
