Re: Your Favourite War Songs.
Nope...Can't think of any...certainly not favourites anyway.
I am more into love and peace.

Hey, hang on a minute ... I forgot this one ... love it. For those who think it's a tad unpatriotic, listen to the Vera version.

Re: Your Favourite War Songs.
My 'favourite war' is the one that was avoided, so nobody caused a 'song and dance' over it.

Maybe I'm wrong, but I didn't think that this thread was about our attitudes to war. Since Trinity, it's been an even worse idea than it was before ... not a good way of problem solving. And I certainly am not a dulce et decorum est kinds guy. But some of the soundtracks of war movies, I really like ... much more than patriotic stuff like Vera's Hits from the Blitz ... or the marches. I particularly like the soundtrack from "Platoon", especially Barber's "Adagio for Strings":




And, in a different, but still ironically poignant way, the Mouseketeers song from "Full Metal Jacket":

Re: Your Favourite War Songs.
Not a song but ' Ride of the Valkyries' -liked it as music but as soon as I hear it now I see those helicopters coming in and the hell they unleashed.
A good anti-war film?

Not a song of war particularly, but related to.

Kinda ashamed of myself that I haven't come across this. I know there's a lot of great music comes out of Down East, particularly Nova Scotia, and Newfoundland ... I do believe I'm going to listen a lot more to music from the Maritimes, eh.
