I’ve easily and often blamed our generation for being insensitive, careless, and irresponsible towards issues with large implications. The most important and threatening issues facing us are:
- War.
- Environmental Destruction.
And with that worrisome note, I present a list of songs that I have come across that speak loudly and clearly about these issues (and others) that directly affect us, or will soon, and are quite powerful messages. Here goes, and also here is a disclaimer: These are in random order, and are limited to my limited knowledge and exposure. (However, Road to Peace would be my top song)
1. Road to Peace – Tom Waits3. War Pigs – Black Sabbath
4. Imagine – John Lennon
5. Arrested in
6. Great Hosannah – Kula Shaker
7. Do the evolution – Pearl Jam
8. Revolution – The Beatles
9. Know Your Rights – The Clash
10. Kill the poor – Dead Kennedys
11. Unknown Soldier – The Doors
12. Earth Song – Michael Jackson
13. Boom – System of a Down
14. In a world gone mad - Beastie Boys
15. Under the same sun – The Scorpions
16. Holy Ghost Machine Gun – Split
17. Masters of War – Bob Dylan
18. Winds of change – The Scorpions
19. Put out the fire – Queen
20. Universal Soldier - Sainte Marie Buffy
Quite a mixed list, and am sure we could add much to it. And am happy to have Split included in the list too. And am not being biased.
