Are you asking for a time period, or "protest songs"? Your question is not clear on this and if you want a usable answer give us more to work with. If it a time period, what is the "Vietnam era"? I went to engineering school because they were giving engineering students an exemption from the draft at the beginning of the war! I was enlisted in the flight school of advanced ROTC when the doctors found a heart murmur and said I was going to die soon. That was 40 years ago and I'm still here, but it got me a 1-Y (deferred) draft card. Then the army sent my LSU class to a 6-week rotary-wing school to teach helicopter flying to young guys who only knew fixed-wing. This was a training school that normally takes 6 MONTHS. The casualty rate for my class was over 95%! P.S. I am a musician.

I know lots, but I disagree with you about how that era stands above other eras. I think you're falling into the baby-boomer self-delusion that the time of their youth was culturally superior to other times.
