Guest goodhelmet Report post Posted April 7, 2002 Most of this music was around before any of us were born but i was doing a project on war-era music and came across some inteesting songs abut Vietnam. These include: Hedgehopper's Anonymous -It's Good News Week The Fugs -Kill For Peace The Spokesmen -Dawn of Correction Tom Paxton -Lyndon Johnson Told the Nation If you can think of any other obscure Vietnam music, feel free to post. This might help some of you history buffs out there who choose to examine music from this era. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest El Satanico Report post Posted April 7, 2002 It isn't obscure by any means but i always liked Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young "Ohio". It's not actually about the war it's about the protesters at Kent State but it's still considered Vietnam music. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And thanks for the beach Boys song. I had no idea. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Report post Posted April 10, 2002 I don't know if "One" by Metallica was considered Vietnam era but that's my pick. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Kinetic Report post Posted April 10, 2002 I don't know if "One" by Metallica was considered Vietnam era but that's my pick. The book that that song was based on, "Johnny Got His Gun," was about a guy who served in World War I, I believe. So, no, it doesn't count. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
