Do you know any songs which are directly related to the Cold War?
I can only think of two:

Gary Moore - Nuclear Ataack

and

Billy Joel - Leningrad.

More of them out there?

I don't know about that but these are 2 of my favourite musicians. Wink

PS. I'm sure John Lennon must have done something.

How about "Back in the USSR". The Beatles skit on the Beach Boys. I always liked that. Wink

There must be loads. If I didn't know better then I would say The Wall. But I do know better, and thats got nothing to do with the Cold war.

I didn't hear the whole song but...I think "1999" from "Prince" is a cold war song. The words is something about dancing all night untill a bomb falls over my head.

The Pathfinder where you have to go blow up the Shilka's and take the village. I've got the sniper rifle and I always kill off all the guys in the second vilage but not before they kill all my troops and then I can't win when they are all dead. Angry

Edit: Never mind. Nothing a few stolen RPG's wont fix. Grin

Pathfinder...pathfinder....ah,alright!

Don't kill anyone in that mission. Remember,you have to spot the Shilkas,not to blow 'em up!
I'd recommend leaving your comrades behind in a safe place,too. You're better off alone in that mission. Roll Eyes

Just how do I tell them to stay put, I'm not their commander yet? I just leave them and run up the hill and sit up there in the bushes and snipe out the worst of the Russians, and hope my men kill the rest without getting themselves killed. Roll Eyes

Scania, if you had read the back of your DVD of The Wall you would realise its about human emotions and the wall people build around them so others cannot see.

And I think they guy who wrote that scene by scene guide to the wall only watched it once. Half of what he's saying is complete rubbish.
