Anti-War Songs - The horrors of war and promoting peace
Featuring Radiohead, Metallica, U2 and John Lennon...
- Paul Hardcastle: '19' – Featuring a vocal sample of US television presenter Peter Thomas speaking about post-traumatic stress disorder, the famous anti-war track slams America's involvement in the Vietnam War. The title comes from the statistic that 38% of US soldiers killed in the war were aged just 19 or 20. Recorded in 1985, a decade after the end of the Vietnam War, the song astonishingly hit the top spot in 13 countries.
