I want to put together a Vietnam war inspired music playlist....need suggestions!

Well Ryno, if you're still working on this my suggestion would be to pick up soundtracks from Good Morning Vietnam and Full Metal Jacket. These were both loaded with great songs from that era.
 
surfaris - wipe out

drifters - under the boardwalk

alice cooper - eighteen

the four seasons - walk like a man

the band - i shall be released

smokey robinson - going a go go

bob dylan - hard rain's gonna fall

tim buckley - once i was ****** good

sam cooke - a change is gonna come

elvis presley - blue christmas

mc5 - back in the usa

marvin gaye - what's going on

love - signed d.c. ****

john lennon - give peace a chance

doors - five to one

rolling stones - no expectations

and save the best for last,,

Five to one by the doors

no one really knows what that song is about, but if you look at the lyrics it sounds like its from a Vietcong perspective, and five to one was the ratio between vietcong and american soldiers. good song, its also the sample for renegade by jay z i do beleive
