Glen Campbell's Galveston, Charlie Daniels', "Still In Saigon", Simon and Garfunkel's gentle "Bridge over Troubled Water", The Animals', "We Gotta Get Out of This Place", Otis Redding's "(Sitting on) The Dock of the Bay," , and, of course, Bob Dylan's "The Times They Are'a Changing", The Door's "Unknown Soldier" are a few among many...

White Rabbit - Jefferson Airplane
Eve of Destruction - Barry McGuire
Imagine - John Lennon
Born to be Wild - Steppenwolf
Where Have All the Flowers Gone - Kingston Trio
Fortunate Son - Creedence Clearwater Revival

I'm just vintage enough to remember these from the first time around - they ticked off my parents, so I knew they were good.

"Paint it Black" by The Rolling Stones" was used in the Vietnam tv series "Tour of Duty" and seemed to set the scene well.

Great songs, surferdude. And, of course, if we mention Arlo G., homage must be paid to Alice's Restaurant (a long piece, but well worth the time). It's a tradition in my family that Thanksgiving (yes, U.S. here) just hasn't started until we sing along to Arlo's adventures with the draft board.
