[Sergeantmajor]

Hey,
I don't know if this is truly in the right section but it fits in right IMO.

Do you guys know which bands soldier's listened to back during the Vietnam conflict?

- Rolling stone?
- ???
- ???
- Vietnamese talking.

Thanks,
SergeantMajor

[Mr. G36!]

Rob Zombie.

Seriously though, just rent any Vietnam film. They always have that kind of stuff playing in the beginning when everyone's all psyched to go out and kill some gooks before they actually get out there and get slaughtered instead.

Check out Battlefield Vietnam for a good sample of Vietnam era music.

[Lawdog]

To me the era was defined by the Stones, Doors, CCR, Hendrix and Joplin. But there were so many great ones...
