During this Presidential campaign season, one of the biggest issues being discussed by candidates is the war in Iraq.
While this is certainly one of the most controversial wars the US has been involved in, it seems that few musicians and artists are tackling this issue in their music.
With that in mind, we’re taking a look at some of the best political songs, political rock songs and peace rally songs. This time around, we’re focusing mostly on numbers from the outspoken Vietnam Era. Next time around, we’ll check out some songs from other wars and social causes.
If you have suggestions of Iraq-themed songs we should include on our next list–please leave a comment and let us know.
