Now Mr. Y, Paint It, Black is one of the greatest songs of all time. however I fail to see what it has to do with either politics or the 1980s? I thought it was a song about depression. Please enlighten? |

The show was about a platoon in Vietnam and I've always associated it with Vietnam. I was just saying that if he grew up in the 80's, he may remember the song. Sorry for breaking your thread discussion rules. |

I rarely like the lyrics to most every song that is political. It's a shame that political messages have to ruin an otherwise good song. Perhaps Seattle Ute is on to something by listening to nothing but "classical"?

I actually went to the Rolling Stones concert for the specific purpose of seeing them perform Paint It Black. And then they didn't. They sang every other song including the absurdly accurate If You Start Me Up [I'll Never Stop]. But no Paint It Black. And they wouldn't give me my money back either. The meanies. |

Unfortunately, it's always been pretty hard for me to pick out the lyrics of songs. Even if I could, I probably wouldn't be able to tell whether they are politically motivated or not. |

Two best songs mentioned in this thread are Imagine and Paint it Black. Both great songs. Paint it Black one of the best ever.

Great topic. I need to give it some thought.
Right off the top of my head, my favorite politcal song is Fortunate Son by CCR.
