I don't know many anti war songs, beyond those already mentioned. "Four Egos, One War" by The Tangent and "Winning a War" by PoS are two of my favourites.

Most definitely unrivaled! Just because it has not been mentioned yet, however, I would also add "Forgotten Sons" by Marillion... |

I've always been partial to this Hawkwind track, the use of post-apocalyptic dystopian imagery striking me as more creative and thoughtful than straight-up soapboxing. I wonder if them being from the UK also gave their anti-Cold War sentiment an extra urgency since in the eve of nuclear exchange they'd probably be toast quicker than the US.

i probably can't think of my favorite of an anti-war song, but i can tell you another example of one in a prog sense: Yours Is No Disgrace by Yes. it wasn't until just recently that i found out that it was a protest song, their first one in fact! im a HUGE Yes fan for my age and i DID NOT know that until not too long ago. Some of you probably didn't know that too, i reckon.

Call me crazy but I've always thought of Bird is the Word as a very powerful anti-war tune. May have something to do with the way it's implemented in Full Metal Jacket, but the words truly sound like Burn is the Word....and then coupled together with the images of Nam and young US soldiers it makes perfect sense.
As for a prog tune? I'm blank... Edited by Guldbamsen - December 03 2014 at 04:49 |

My favourite anti-war song is Metallica's "Disposable Heroes". I always think about it when my current students (members of the US military) tell me about some of the things they have been through.

There are many that I like, and Pink Floyd indeed has many of them. But I guess few can rival the awsomeness of "The Gates of Delirium", by Yes.

The Henry Cow/Slapp Happy song "War" was the first to spring to mind when I saw the topic, but it's not much of a war song.
My favourite is Redgum's "I Was Only Nineteen" (partially for sentimental reasons). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Urtiyp-G6jY |
