Sunday's Best: Week 7, 2022

Since nutbag Vladimir Putin seems hell bent on causing a war in Europe by invading Ukraine, I thought Sunday's Best this week should focus on conflict songs. You know, the best songs about war.

 


Some of my choices:


War Pigs - Black Sabbath

Fortunate Son - Creedence Clearwater Revival

Rooster - Alice In Chains

Us and Them - Pink Floyd

Civil War - Guns n' Roses

One - Metallica



Did I forget one of your favorite war-related songs? Let me know in the comments!

Peace Sells....but who's buying ? :)

And maybe not a "war" song ~ but Nuclear Assault's "Critical Mass" makes it seem like armageddon.

Good song, Stu. Something different from Lemmy.

Ripper, that one is getting tired, right? So, perhaps, find another fun phrase with which to telegraph your angst.

GNR, no one.

Oper8n. you are prescient.

And so it seems people are going to die. And for what? So what? So what! Which is just a sad reminder that learning from the past doesn't seem to work.

Again, nothing much political from me. But I hope the people in the Ukraine are able to stay safe and well. And sanctions aren't bombs. But what is a small marble to do when things like this happen? Truly. I don't know.

Figured you'd suggest Pearl Jam GNR?

Pearl Jam War Song ? Hmmm.... Is there one ? Some say Yellow Ledbetter is, but trying to decipher those lyrics without an album sleeve is tough.

They did do a remake of Bob Dylan's Master of War, which is a great anti war tune. But not better than Dylan.

@Him… not tired at all and its the Country’s angst!

Agreed to disagree, Rip. Slogans for complex issues rarely do more than coat your mental bumper with more stickers, and those driving behind you start to wonder why you are driving so slow. And signaling with a leftover is like waving a week old pot roast when you want to turn left. You kinda' look odd. But, you do you. Have at it! Pole Position isn't NASCAR. But whatever drives you is yours and I respect that.

In other news, I forgot to say: RIP, P.J. O'Rourke and Mark Lanegan. Both artists. Both amazing. Both gone too soon.
