I have a friend who's going to Vietnam next month and I want to mix her a CD with music about the Vietnam War from the Vietnam War era. I'd mostly like to include the obvious (i.e. Buffalo Springfield), but I'm drawing a blank beyond that. So come at me with your vast musical knowledge - I'm open to lesser known tunes, too, as long as they're relevant.
Thanks for your input in advance!
