Waltzing Mathilda by the Dubliners.
To me this one is most impressive.

Tribute video of The Dubliners & Ronnie Drew's classic version of Eric Bogle anti-war song - The Band played Waltzing Matilda, with photos from the Anzacs Gallipoli Campaign. Almost 4,000 members of the Royal Dublin Fusilers also died at Gallipoli.

eve of destruction.............the screaming jets holy wars.......megadeth

My goodness those are great, and I never knew them.
Thanks for posting

Three come immediately to mind. Edwin Starr's famous song, War. XTC's Generals and Majors. The Cure, Killing an Arab. Awesome songs worth looking up the videos or finding the MP3s.

I have some more.
First this one. This is what it is all about in the end: Freedom


Than this one about "who is to blame"


This one is about the ease in starting the madness, and the easy acceptance.


This one is about the madness and destruction.


This one is about the sorrow.

The Herd - Starship Trooper (redux)


Bob Dylan - Masters of War

I prefer the version of Universal Soldier by the woman who wrote it: Buffy Sainte-Marie




The King also had a great one:

I was going to pop that bob Dylan tune in here, glad it was already here. Top anti war tune.

So, as that's been taken, let's go with something a little different.

The Rub - George Bush is an Islamic Fundamentalist.


And as the Rub appeared on a Cassetteboy album, you can also have some of the infamous cassetteboy, even though it's technically not "music" but more abstract sample abuse. It's definatly anti war (warning, has naughty words)


Wasn't sure wether or not to put this in...This is another cassetteboy one. Very dark. It's about 9/11. Basically just chopping up Old Blue Eyes songs to be about 9/11. if you're sensitive about this subject, you really might want to skip it. But it is dark humour, laughing at the crappy stuff we do to eachother as humans. Dark dark satire.
