Currently listening to BBC Radio London, and they got talking about pop songs that are about or influenced by the Vietnam War, they only mentioned a couple, but I could immediately think of loads more. And then I found a website with a list of well over a 100 of them.
However, when I tried to come up with modern (1960s onwards) pop/rock songs about the First World War, I could only come up with two:
Jona Lewie - Stop The Cavalry
Rolf Harris - Two Little Boys
There must be loads more but I'm at a loss to think of any. Iron Maiden's The Trooper for example is about the Crimean War. Elvis Costello's Oliver's Army is primarily about the Troubles in Northern Ireland, but also about the British Army in other conflict zones round the globe
