Songs/music on the theme of peace/anti-war

Lots of thanks - quiz round now complete and your suggestions have been very helpful.

Tom Paxton; Bayonet Rap , Talking Vietnam Pot Luck Blues (monologues )not songs) Jimmy Newman. Harvey Andrews; Soldier.

There are lots of british ones from WW2 eg Vera Lynn, sentimental, not sure about anti-war.

What about Stop The Cavalry [you know, that Christmassy one they always play] don't know who it's by though.

Not perhaps directly a peace song, but anyone remember one called 'Ding Dong Dollar'? Cold War time.....

Hadn't realised till last night that Olivers Army was about Northern Ireland.

Some brilliant suggestions! - thanks so much.

Another Paul Simon He Was My Brother

Oh, so many songs I remember.
I have just played the Eric Bogle one, which is on I didn't know.
A terrible and true one.

'Dulce et decorum est, pro patria mori'.....? Oh yeah.

Grannyknot Thank you I'll take a look. Perhaps on Youtube as well.

Oh Yes, Baubles the wonderful Eric Bogle. I thought that 'Mothers, Daughters, Wives' was his as well as I have heard him sing it but have just discovered that it was written and first recorded by an Australian - Judy Small.

"From a Distance" Bette Midler
"Give Peace a Chance" John and Yoko
"What's Goin' On" Marvin Gaye
"Gimme Shelter" Stones

Edwin Starr 'War, what is it good for'

Just realised Deck of cards doesn't fit the remit.

DH says 'Deck of Cards' cheesy I know and we can't remember the artist.

Sook, he is, not was I was listening to him recently with a new song "Who's gonna love you when your looks are gone?"

This is a wonderful Paul Simon song and also anti.war in a way:

Rene and George Magritte with their Dog after the War.

It makes me tearful whenever I hear it:

Anno my mother used to listen to that song, you've taken me right back to her singing along "So, Mary, marry me, let's not wait ... "

Wisewoman, I know the feeling.

Paul Simon was a marvellous lyricist, more of a poet really (imo)

I'd always thought Simon and Garfunkel were very mainstream till I watched a programme about them, and found that they were very cutting edge and controversial.

A modern one, Radiohead - In Memory of Harry Patch.

Eric Bogle - And the band played Waltzing Matilda

I've just googled Country Joe Ana. There are some YouTube clips. Sorry can't do links!

Soldier Blue. - Buffy Saint-Marie

Last Night I Had The Strangest Dream by Simon and Garfunkel from their Wednesday Morning 3am album.

Crikey, I'd forgotten all about Country Joe and the Fish! I used to like them

Does anyone else remember Vietnam Rag by Country Joe and the Fish? Brings back memries of, the Bath Blues Festival 1967
