Best Songs with a War Theme

The Top Ten
1 The Trooper - Iron Maiden

The song that made me a Maiden fan. Great riff, great everything

2 One - Metallica

Incredible song. I love everything about it.

One should be One.

3 Run to the Hills - Iron Maiden
4 Holy Wars...The Punishment Due - Megadeth

My fave metal intro riff

5 Fortunate Son - Creedence Clearwater Revival
6 Aces High - Iron Maiden

One of my fave Iron Maiden songs and perhaps their fastest. A song about WW II

7 For Whom the Bell Tolls - Metallica

The intro with bass is too cool. Cliff is a beast on bass.

Awesome song

8 Rooster - Alice in Chains
9 Us and Them - Pink Floyd
10 What's Going On - Marvin Gaye
The Contenders
11 Sunday Bloody Sunday - U2
12 Mouth for War - Pantera

My fave Pantera riff

13 War Pigs - Black Sabbath

Unpopular opinion: I think this is one of the most overrated songs I know - it's too monotonous and boring to me.

14 Doesn't Matter Anyway - Savatage

An obscure but very good song. I was pleasantly surprised to see it on here

15 War Ensemble - Slayer
16 Gods of War - Def Leppard
17 American Woman - The Guess Who
18 Ghost Division - Sabaton

Perhaps my fave song by them

19 Holiday in Cambodia - Dead Kennedys
20 Poor Man's Crusade - Demons & Wizards
21 I Was Only 19 - Redgum
22 New Year's Day - U2
23 Take No Prisoners - Megadeth
