Arlo Guthrie's "Alice's Resturant" was well received by war protesters as was Barry Sadler's "Ballad of the Green Beret" by the VFW types. In most songs pro or con, arguments were irrelevant, people were divided, period.
To name a few: 1. Country Joe & the Fish-"What are we fighting for?...next stop is Vietnam..." 2. Christie & the Tremeloes-"Yellow River" 3. Crosby, Stills, Nash, and Young-"Ohio" 4. CCR (Creedence Clearwater Revival)-"Run thru the jungle" 5. Sonny & Cher-"How many times must a connon ball fly...before they are forever banned?" 6. Streets of San Francisco/Flower Children
ANY songs from the 1950s (GIs arriving in Vietnam in 1960/1961 had to listen to that category of music) thru the 1960s into 1970, 1971, and 1972, 1973, 74 & 75 are Vietnam era sounds. From "Pretty Women" to Buffalo Springfield...from the Mamas and the Papas to Sonny and Cher. From the Beetles to Elvis Presley. From Three Dog Night to Gentle Giant. From the Doors to Crosby Stills and Nash...
Country Joe and the Fish had a popular one, "Pack your boy off to Vietnam, be the first one on your block, to have your boy come home in a box...". Or Crosby, Stills, Nash, and Young, "OHIO", "...Nixon's bombing, four dead in OHIO..." Reference to the Cambodian invasion in May '70 & the Kent State shooting on 04 May '70. Or CCR (Creedence Clearwater Rivival), "Run Thru the Jungle", "...there's the land we smoke!"
