Having just taken an EOC about the cold war era, this will be my playlist for the best 'nam era songs often associated with the war and movements that came with it.
Fortunate son by CCR
this song had to be included in the nam playlist because it describes the unfair drafting conditions the military used, and had the classic guitar/vocals of a song from this era. This song is also just a good patriotic (ironically) song.
War by Edwin Starr
just a great song about a terrible war, also has the precedented vocals and guitar of a song from this generation.
California Dreamin - Mommas and poppas
my favorite song from this era, this catchy tune reminds me of all the human rights movements during this time, and just sounds like a song a hippie would be bopping their long, greasy hair to.\
anything by the - rolling stones
No explanation needed, most iconic band of the era with many hits such as sympathy for the devil, paint it black, gimme shelter, and many more.
There are many more songs during this era of musical genius and outrage, but these are by far the most popular and most connected with the war.
