Sometimes we cannot post our views in words or explain politics or comprehend the deeds of human kind.

Let's STOP the madness... it's 2022 not 1939 !!

Former Nottingham resident and Soul legend Edwin Star with the anti-war song, "War. What is it good for? Absolutely nothing!"

Hi,

I would take an entire album from ROY HARPER ... but I'm not sure we want to go past a pop song, and we haven't even listed Country Joe McDonald yet, and Jefferson Airplane! Heck ... war, was is it good for ... and redone later by Frankie Goes to Hollywood!

The names in America alone, are almost impossible to list!

For a foreign one that none of you will ever wish to hear, try Maria Betania's Carcara ... the visual of it, was totally ripped off and put into a Coppola film. Still an insane visual, but the idea and visual from Maria Betania's voice was far stronger and valuable ...

Music is not just for listening ... it is for LIVING ... you got to feel it to know what's it about! Not being told!

The Batman villain Riddler's exploitation of this enduring classic for his own nefarious ends somehow seems hideously apt at this juncture

Us And Them by Floyd and War Pigs by Sabbath came to mind right away, two of my absolute favs. That Bushman's Revenge 8 minute cover of War Pigs is amazing.

This is no time for "Give Peace A Chance". We need pro war songs to defeat oppressive tyranny.

Many favorites already named. The Edwin Starr and Black Sabbath are among my favorites to "crank up.*

This one too.

Right on Daddio! My old Uncle Peter used to say 'Fight fire with fire' (which is why they had to throw him out of the fire service)

This one is my favourite. 

Here's a part from its lyrics:

"Investing your money in guns
The infinite fun
Of the warlord you saved
From a rusty grave"

Peter Hammill's take on a rather tired platitude i.e. war is futile maaan is always worth some of everyone's time. Especially those enjoying the peacetime that wars others fought in helped to deliver.
