The list of best all time peace songs on YouTube

Trying to get me to do all the work huh! :)

That's what I did. Went up to a website that listed hundreds of songs and then went through the list manually one by one, looking to see if there were YouTube versions.

I like how the 300 list does different artist renditions!

Even though the above list isn't anywhere near as big as these, it took over 4 hours of work to pick them out, as in some cases there were all kinds of duplicates.

I'm definately gonna take a break from adding more myselff for awhile...

Note, that it is more than just a list, as each title above is linked to a Youtbe video.

James, I don't know what the status is. I imagine that there will be some fireworks at some point, however. Are you concerned that you might be violating the company's economic interests? Note that in most cases the quality of the video isn't that high. Having heard some of the stories about how big record companies wrecked a lot of artist's lives, especially back in the 60's and 70's, I am into the idea of reorganizing how musicians produce and distribute their content. Way back when, only the companies could afford to have their own recording studio, now most mucisians have their own, and can link them together online to produce live content or work coopeartively on pieces yet still be half way across the planet.

Give Peace a Chance is on the list, and the video with the song was awesome, which included footage of them at rallies! I'd never seen most of the footage!!!

Couldn't miss the Group W bench!

And oh, my Arlo's song is about an event that started on Thanksgiving!

Thanks!

Thanx!

Old guy here.  If you have some you'd like to list! That's the point!  :)

The last 8 years have been fairly heavily censored by the media.  Take a look at all the flack the Dixie Chicks got for doing a song or two and standing up the monster at a time when anyone that dared raise a voice of opposition was treated like dirt.  Career breaker anyone?

Again, if you have any songs  you that are on Youtube you know of post them!  This is good way to create a scrapbook of songs!

Note, if you are a member of Youtube, their Playlist option allows you to create a special category for any group of songs like the above, and save them as a group.  

You are welcome!  I did something similar some time back based on a collection of muscians I put together on MySpace.  But the inspiration came from a Newsvine article about war and resources by Benno.  I think it was John who posted Abraham, Martin and John, one of my favorites.  Which gave me bright idea to go google anti-war songs, the first link at the top had hundred's of them alphabetized.  I started going down the list and was amazed to find that many of my oldtime favorites were also on Youtube!  So why not just start posting them one by one, as comments...

Something like one or two folks saw them, so I figured it would be worth reposting them as a separate aricle.  It took 4 plus hours to put together, but what a wonderful four hours of work!!!  Putting the list together has been a very wonderful time, and I'm still going back to the list and playing various songs.

I couldn't believe the version of "not gonna study war no more"  If you are into gospel, talk about a awesome!

You should check out this article on how to put links and other special effects into your articles and comments.

If you want to add a link to a video in your comments, here's how to do it.

If you pass your mouse slowly over each of the editor tools, a little box will open up and tell you what each tool does.

6. The Insert/edit box will open up. right click your mouse and use the paste option to copy the url.  Then click on the insert button. That will embed the url into the words you highlighted.

You Welcome...

I'd seen several hysterical claims that the peace symbol was satanic. CND actually got a story on the symbol done by the BBC (not the only coverage in the UK, mind you but none happened here in the US for some reason).

Your right!

Dang... I tried to find a copy of the old Greenpeace logo, but it seems to have nearly disappeared from existance.  Here's a poor redone version.

The group was originally organized to blockade an attempted nuclear weapons test off of Alaska in the late 1960's.  It's anti-nuclear position in the U.S. has almost completely disappeared, unlike Europe.  The organization here in the US barely acknowledges its roots in the peace movement today.

I second that! A Very strong message.

Not my genre exactly...

Here's one for you: MDC: Johwn Wayne was a Nazi

If you have any more you want to post, that's the purpose here!

John Lennon: Happy Christmas - The War is Over

The vidoe on this is very intense!

An eye for an eye, makes the whole world blind!

Thanks for the suggestion!

Appreciate it!

Marvin Gaye: What's going on?!

I'm liking this phase.  There is anti-war material from all over the world on youtube. :)

Thanks for adding some of David's work here Raat!

There was another recent SOA event in Georgia.  The Jenin piece is excellent.  Last year Charlie Rose let Israel's foreign minister on his show get away with the claim that the country had been hit by 19,000 terrorist attacks in 2007.  Hmm... 18,995 of them were probably kids throwing rocks at tanks and armoured vehicles. I've got an Israeli friend who is in Peace Now.
