Is Edwin Starr's "War" just as important now as ever?
This anti-war song was effective in the Vietnam war, but is it important now to the Iraq war?

2. I can't hear that song...
...without thinking about Jackie Chan mutilating it at the end of "Rush Hour."

Am I the only one who likes Springsteen's version better than Edwin Starr's original?

3. Freda Paynes's
Bring the Boys Home may be even more so.

5. All war protest songs are relevant
If you think of any more, I'll add the singers to my arts page.
