This album from 1971 seems appropriate for our times:
Warm Dust is perhaps a bit forgotten these days. I saw them a couple of times live and owned this album.

One of my absolute favorites: I Didn't Raise My Boy to Be a Soldier by Eli Radish (1969).

Many of the songs on Chicago's first few albums are anti-war.
So, in its weird way, is Alice's Restaurant.
I've seen all cruel people bashing heads each day so sadistic I'm on my way.
We're trying to build a monument to show that we were here
It won't be visible through the air
And there won't be any shade to cool the monument to prove that we were here. - Gene Parsons, 1973
A good Neil album, but the Raw version is even better!Originally Posted by spellbound

Anti war song
Steppenwolf, The Doors, Jimi Hendrix, and many others from that generation covered the subject.
Mike Westbrook Orchestra's "Marching Songs" comes to mind.
Yes' "The Gates of Delirium" is anti-war. Not sure about the rest of the Relayer album.
Well, not exactly. It's based on "War and Peace" but according to Anderson it's more of an interpretation of that then a stance against war per se.
You can't take a photograph of Uzis on a street corner.
With the album Seed from 2019, the British progressive rock duo Freedom to Glide completed their anti-war trilogy, which they started with Rain in 2013 and continued with the album Fall in 2016. Thematically, Freedom to Glide deals with the experiences of a man from the last year of World War I. Both lyrically and musically, this trilogy is really superb, and rousing the inner feelings and human emotions.
Members of the duo, Pete Riley and Andy Nixon, have played in the Pink Floyd tribute band called Dark Side of the Wall, hence the music also brings memorabilia of PF legacy.
Good god, y'all.

The Prog Corner
Neil Young's "Living With War" was the first that came to my mind as well. Not a great Young album, but pretty solid.
Not Prog, but Phil Ochs' "All The News That's Fit To Sing," and "I Ain't Marching Anymore," come immediately to mind.
Is it possible for an album to be considered as anti-war even without lyrics? In my view Mark Shreeve was able to pull it off with themes and atmospheres on his outstanding release, "Thoughts Of War", from 1981.

Happy with what I have to be happy with.
Eh. Not an album, but a song.
Also a song:
One more:
Barclay James Harvest did a song called Kiev - although it was because of Chernobyl the message is similar.
