Hola,

Being such dark times as these are, I was wondering if some of you have taken into listening certain particular songs or albums (and please don't mention "Killing an Arab" by the Cure).

Well, my two choices for albums have been "Sandinista!" by The Clash and "War" by U2. Both have some pretty good anti-war lyrics and the songs rock, even though they were written during the Cold War, I think the feelings behind them are applicable today.

Rancid's "Life Won't Wait" also comes to mind...

BTW

I wonder if pilots in the gulf still listen to "Rock The Casbah" before a sortie like they did in gulf war I.

REM - It;s the end of the world
U2 - Sunday bloody Sunday
Powerman 5000 - Superbeast


Funniest thing I remember out of WTC incident was shortly after everyone's shock wore off, my suitemate played out loud REM's song. While it was unrealistic, it was kinda appropriate.

That'd be Wagner's "Ride of the Valkyries" for me

Every time I hear it I pictures Stukas screaming down upon a refugee-clogged road

Yep you got a point there, but there is many different kinds of music that can have the same effect

There's an old one from the Vietnam days written by John Prine making the rounds again I hear:

"Your Flag Decal Won't Get You Into Heaven Anymore"

The next line goes:

"It's already overcrowded from your dirty little war."

Oh Fortuna starts out pretty heavy, but after that it has lost its greatness a bit (though the song is still just as pleasant to hear you know!) in my opinion!

War Pigs - Black Sabbath.

Generals gathered in their masses,
just like witches at black masses.
Evil minds that plot destruction,
sorcerers of death's construction.
In the fields the bodies burning,
as the war machine keeps turning.
Death and hatred to mankind,
poisoning their brainwashed minds.
Oh lord, yeah!

Politicians hide themselves away.
They only started the war.
Why should they go out to fight?
They leave that role to the poor, yeah.

Time will tell on their power minds,
making war just for fun.
Treating people just like pawns in chess,
wait till their judgement day comes, yeah.

Now in darkness world stops turning,
ashes where the bodies burning.
No more War Pigs have the power,
Hand of God has struck the hour.
Day of judgement, God is calling,
on their knees the war pigs crawling.
Begging mercies for their sins,
Satan, laughing, spreads his wings.
Oh lord, yeah!

I always that that song 'We'll Meet Again' was touching...

"We'll meet again....don't know where....don't know when"

USSR Anthem
God Save the Queen

and of course what is it about Wagner he seems plugged into the whole vainglorious aspect of war...

stukas strafing refugees....I bet the pilots got pretty tired of listening to it every night though.

Oh, and AFN (american forces Korea) is STILL playing 'Bombs Over Baghdad' every other request.

Give it up guys!
