The whole world is upset, outraged and heartbroken (aside from Republicans) by the Russian invasion of Ukraine. While we watch the cruelty and destruction Putin has unleashed on them, we have also seen Ukrainians come together, bravely and selflessly fighting against this onslaught on behalf of their people and nation.
So this weekend’s music thread is dedicated to the remarkable Ukrainian people who are showing the world what real heroes look like. We know they are in a frightening and life-threatening struggle and not trying to gloss over that at all by calling them heroes but we do want them to know that we are thinking of them, doing what we can to support them and looking on sympathetically, wondering if we could be as brave as they are if faced with the same danger.
Share your favorite songs about fighting, winning, being heroes or whatever songs you want to send to our brothers and sisters in Ukraine to show you support them.
Now it’s your turn to send your support to the people of Ukraine with songs of support and respect to let them know how much they are appreciated and in our thoughts.
Rammstein – al the band members are original, and any band member can veto a song to this day. For all the faults of East Germany, there were some values there.
My favorite anarcho-syndicalist Industrial German band: we’ve got the power!
Like this band too. And the nuclear theme is definitely appropriate.
When they came to Phoenix I bought tickets. Then I saw they came to Tucson. So I saw them in Tucson and virtually followed them to watch them in Phoenix. They are from the early 80s, very political. To the left of even me.
I have no idea what TATU think, but Not Gonna Get Us is Appropriate. They made waves in Russia for lesbian themes in the early 2000’s. I’m putting them down as prolly not for Putin.
I think that’s a good bet. It’s got a catchy groove and the video is pretty kinetic, lots going on. Thanks for the intro to TATU!
Yeah, other than being friends with Russians in High School, their English versions made the MTV still sorta a thing in the late 90’s. I link the Russian, but they do English, as well.
Pussy Riot, always the darlings of the Kremlin, have also denounced Putin – ….again.
I missed this video, have always thought Pussy Riot members were incredibly brave to stand up to Putin but the brutal truth in this video is a lot bolder than 99% of those in the U.S. music world were after Trump got into the WH.
Nadya was in House of Cards.
Soooooo, like… um…. this band is like literally from Donetsk? And yes, have condemned Russia.
I deserve points, but not too many. It is a popular group among the youths even younger than I.
I really like them! You get double points for posting this!
Her growl is not even an effect. It’s dangerous to the vocal chords.
