Top Ten... Declares WAR!

"I can see that got your attention..."

There are loads of songs that deal with war, but which ones do we think are the best? Time to list 'em out!

I open with a great banger that can get me excited, no matter what:



Iron Maiden - "Aces High"

Battle of Britain's the topic and Iron Maiden brings plenty of it! Flood the Cowling! YEAH!

Okay you two stole two from me right away then...bugger.

Need to think about this one a bit.

But I'll kick things off with another SLAYER tune though...


This is about being forced to fight BEHIND THE CROOKED CROSS!




From my favourite SLAYER album...this one rocks hard and is somewhat of a forgotten gem!

I think I could do a list of 10 just from Iced Earth and Maiden songs. But I'll limit myself to one from each.

First pick, and I'll go with a less obvious pick from The Glorious Burden

Iced Earth - Waterloo



Another nice track from the album.

10: War by Edwin Starr



Obvious choice is obvious, but it is so good I can't help myself!

Ah, the song based on the unused Tolstoy title!

For my second one I too will go to the Glorious Burden album.

And take a bit of an off choice as I think I've pretty much done most of the others already!  ;D


This is about the meanest badasses in the military. The guys who go in when the shit has hit the fan. True heroes.

I think my entries in the vehicular threads overlap here...
Saxon "English Man-o-War"
Motorhead "Bomber"
Blue Oyster Cult "ME 262"

So I mention those in passing. Review as time permits, they're all bangers.

For my second pick, I go with a track from Armored Saint's excellent Delerious Nomad album, "Conqueror"



Checked the lyrics, it's about conquering via warfare, so that's the "war" box ticked.  :smug:

For number 3 it's time to Thrash it up again.

This from my favourite EXODUS album...

And there's even a music video for this one.

It's called WAR Is My Shepherd!
