Thinking about Songs About The Vietnam War, there is no limit to the musicians who created music about this feeling. Here are 15 of the best ones.
Bad Moon Rising by Creedence Clearwater Revival
From the album, Green River (Expanded Edition), released on August 3, 1969
The song is about a bad omen, and specifically the feeling that a natural disaster is about to strike. The production is relatively simple, with a driving rock rhythm and a catchy melody. The lyrics are sparse, and mostly serve to set the mood of foreboding and dread.
All Day and All of the Night by The Kinks
From the album, Kinks (Deluxe), released on October 2, 1964
"All Day and All of the Night" is a song recorded by the English rock band The Kinks and released as the band's fourth single in 1964. Written by band members Ray Davies and Dave Davies, the song is a hard-rocking, guitar-driven number with an infectious chorus. It was released on Pye Records in the UK and Reprise Records in the US and reached number two in the UK Singles Chart and number seven in the US Billboard Hot 100. The song was produced by Shel Talmy, who also produced two other Kinks singles, "You Really Got Me" and "Tired of Waiting for You", as well as their debut album, Kinks. Musically, "All Day and All of the Night" is an upbeat rock song, with a driving guitar riff and prominent bassline. Dave Davies' guitar solo, played on a Fender Telecaster, is also a highlight of the track. The song has since become a staple of the Kinks' live set and has been covered by numerous artists.
