YOUR Soundtrack For Troops In Iraq

[NATO AIR]

i have several friends over in iraq. they're always in search of new music to work out to, relax to, and get ready to fight to. I had an idea if anyone would like to participate... I'm going to start creating "mix cds" and send them out to them. anyone wants to come up with a playlist of songs you'd think they'd enjoy (could be for a certain mood, just a mix or something to stir memories), i'll get the music, burn it and send it to them with a notice this comes from a friend who supports you on the US Message Board.

I'm working on my first cd now (my speciality- hip-hop) but i'd love to make some more cds with your input.

i know a lot of folks on here like sir evil have a serious taste in other areas, so that would be great to get some of that for these folks.

 

[5stringJeff]

Eye of the Tiger - Survivor
Hell's Bells - ACDC
Iron Man - Black Sabbath (or, even better, IMO, is Busta Rhymes "This Means War", which is him rapping over the Iron Man guitar riffs)
For Those About to Rock - ACDC
That's all I can think of for now.

 

[JOKER96BRAVO]

As a disabled vet who was in Iraq....
The song that stuck in my head the most was,
Metallica-Don't tread on me

 

[5stringJeff]

NIN - Head Like a Hole
RATM - Killing in the Name of
Limp Bizkit - MI2 Theme

I have a huge music collection and so many blank CDs if you want me to help you send some too, I'd be more then willing to help you out. I know how sucky it must be to wait for the new music. So if you got MSN, or what ever pm me and I'd glady help you make countless CDs. I have Hip hop, rap, all kinds of stuff. Also what I don't have I'll get for em'.

Ok, if you're getting NIN in there, then you need to get a good half of MM's Antichrist Superstar album in there.

 

[NATO AIR]

Great ideas guys and gals.

 

[5stringJeff]

RATM's Know YOur Enemy is a good one also.

 

[Dan]

Jeff, I don't know if "Killing in the Name Of" would be a good choice or not. The music surely would get the troops pumped, but the overall message is to refuse to fight a battle that you don't believe in, so that may not be the sort of thing a lot of troops will want to be hearing right now. Maybe not, I've never been in any armed forces, so I can't really say how these songs would affect our troops.

Either way, this is a great idea. Of course, music has gotten so political and just crappy overall that the troops in Iraq really haven't been missing all that much.

 

[wolvie20m]

It's Rage Against the MAchine......Bombtrack would be a good track for em'.

 

[wolvie20m]

Rage is up there with all the Anti-government groups.

 

[wolvie20m]

Some of thier songs are good songs though.

 

[Dan]

Well, Morello's new band, Audioslave, has pretty much no political stuff in their lyrics. You could listen to them.

But, yeah, Morello's organized rallys and stuff against Bush.

 

[5stringJeff]

True... never really thought of that. Audioslave would be a good substitute, though... maybe Cochise or What You Are.

 

[Zhukov]

The Single Most Important Iraqi Soundtrack Song:


the song I requested for my marine buddy his last night on the town before he left to assemble for the invasion....


....Bombs Over Baghdad - Outkast

 

[Dan]

....Bombs Over Baghdad - Outkast

Now there's a song to get you pumped! I don't even have a clue what they're talking about in that song, they rap too damn fast!

 

[Semper Fi]

Eye of the Tiger - Survivor
Hell's Bells - ACDC
Iron Man - Black Sabbath (or, even better, IMO, is Busta Rhymes "This Means War", which is him rapping over the Iron Man guitar riffs)
For Those About to Rock - ACDC
That's all I can think of for now.

Took the exact thoughts out of my mind.

AC/DC - Thunderstruck gets me pumped.
Pink Floyd usually provides good chill-down music, just not the Final Cut
Rush - Spirit of the Radio
Quiet Riot - come on feel the noise
Nitty - Nasty Girl
Steve Miller Band - Jungle love

thats all I can think of right now. I play airsoft alot and these are some of the ones we listen to before going out and shooting at each other, and it helps.

 

[padisha emperor]

RATM - Killing in the name of
Pixies - where is my mind
Circle Jerks - Decline of the Western Civilization.
Iamgine - J. Lennon


more serioulsy, if the Gi's listen always to ahrd rock 's song before fights, they will shoot everywhere....so, compromise between hard rock/metal and soft rock.

 

[UsaPride]

AC/DC - Thunderstruck gets me pumped.

My husband told me they had this blasting while heading into Iraq during GW1. Seemed to get them pumped too, LOL!
