I’m making a CD for a foreign friend just to show her how popular music is covering our “terrorism” situation.
Here’s what I have so far:
**“Have you Forgotten” **–Darryl Worley
"The Angry American (Courtesy of the Red,White & Blue)" --Toby Keith
"To Washington" --John Mellencamp
The Price of OIl" --Billy Bragg
"Self-Evident --Ani DiFranco
"In a World Gone Mad" --Beastie Boys
Help me fill in the missing parts…
Either “The Rising” or “Worlds Apart” by Bruce Springsteen. Hell, just send her the whole “The Rising” CD! 
John Walker’s Blues by Steve Earle.
Where Were you When the World stopped Turning–Alan Jackson
Hey Bin Ladin Shove It–Hank Williams Jr.?
America Can Survive–Hank Williams Jr.
This Ain’t no Rag It’s a Flag–Charlie Daniels Band
Patriotic, and coming after 9-11, but not specifically about 9-11 are:
Where the Stars and Stripes and the Eagle Fly–Aaron Tippin
Only in America–Brooks and Dunn
American Child–Phil Vassar
Where is the Love - Black Eyed Peas
This was one was out before 9-11 and got a lot of airplay subsequent to it.
I hate to mention it because I find it horrible, but
Iraq and Roll by Clint Black (“our troops take out the garbage for the good ol’ USA” ) 
A mix tape of all these country songs (with a few exceptions) would give the listener something of a one-sided view!!
I’ll second the entire cd of The Rising by Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band.
Great album and it was pretty much completly inspired by 9/11. He did include one of his earlier songs, City of Ruins, which was about economic collapse but it works well for the post 9/11 listener.
a female-sung version of Bryan Adams “Heaven” interspersed with a little girl reading a letter to her daddy who died in 9-11. Almost made me weep like the tubby b*tch I am.
Yes, that’s a Jay-ism. L
OK- I guess it’s called “Heaven (September 11th remix)” by DJ Sammy, who also has done a dance remix and a “candlelight” music remix of it (the Sept 11th one uses the latter music but with the little girl’s voice added).
R.E.M.'s “PSA (Bad Day)” started out in 1986 and was later written into “It’s The End of the World As We Know It (And I Feel Fine)”. They brought it back last year on their greatest album as “Bad Day” and rewrote it again to be about the Bush administration and the Iraq War and such. They also wrote a brand new song specifically about the Iraq War, but the title of it slips my mind right now (they played it on tour and hosted it on their web site but never officially released it).
A choice cut from the new “Bad Day”:
We’re dug in deep
the price is steep
the auctioneer is such a creep
The lights went out, the oil ran dry
we blamed it on the other guy
The video is great too, the R.E.M. guys play news anchors/reporters and the screen has a crawl and other news graphics.
Some guy (Dusty Drake?) came out with a song called “One Last Time” right after 9/11 that didn’t directly refer to it, but seemed to have a connection. Guy calls wife from a plane, telling her he loves her and he should have been a better man, etc., then the last verse is about how the passengers tried to take control of the plane, IIRC.
It was a real downer of a song.
I heard “I Raq and Roll” exactly once on the radio. Absolutely horrible. There were a couple lines that might have passed for a jody if your flight wasn’t too picky, but as a song, ewwww. Clint Black needed to be punished severely for it.
Also, Toby Keith has a new one called “American Soldier.” I like it a lot better than “The Angry American.” That song was a good way of getting out the anger over 9/11, but then it just stirred up more. Eventually you have to move past the “Nuke the raghead, USA! USA! USA!, God Bless America” anger. A lot of people I knew chose to dwell on it instead, and “Angry American” got adopted as their rallying cry. Sucked all the enjoyment out of the song for me.
Neil Young - “Let’s Roll”
Hmmm… Every other one I can think of has already been mentioned.
Toby Keith also released “The Taliban”
Of course, you can’t leave out good old Iraqi Top. 
“David Makalaster” by the Les Claypool Frog Brigade, dealing with the media’s role in the transition between a public mood of apathy and one of vengeance. Also a great tune.
Where Were You When the World Stopped Turning by Alan Jackson. This one was read into the Congressional Record, and I can’t listen to it without bursting into tears.
Both of these are on Fleetwood Mac’s CD “Say You Will”
Peacekeeper by Lindsay Buckingham
(this I believe is more inspired by Afghanastan)
Illume by Stevie Nicks
(Stevie was in N.Y.C. on 911)
I do a college radio show called “The Spandex Years,” which features 80s music. SOme DOpers helped me come up with some 80-ish songs that would fit. Hope this helps:
The Star Spangled Banner Jimi Hendrix
Dear God XTC
Exquisite Corpse Bauhaus
Moments of Pleasure Kate Bush
Love is Stronger Than Death The The
Try to Remember Jerry Orbach
Mad World Tears For Fears
Ball of Confusion (Live) Love and Rockets
So Much Trouble in the World Bob Marley
Sunday, Bloody Sunday U2
Who Was That Man Nick Lowe
Is This the World We Created? Queen
Pipes of Peace Paul McCartney
Voices of America Asia
Peace Train 10,000 Maniacs
You’re Missing Bruce Springsteen
Miami 2017 (See the Lights…) Billy Joel
New York City They Might Be Giants
Eve of Destruction Red Rockers
Armageddon Days Are Here (Again) The The
Monkey in the Whitehouse Magadog
Bombs Away The Police
What’s So Funny About … Elvis Costello
Kaddish Ofra Haza
Even though my politics are completely different than TK’s (which is a completely different thread altogether), I think that The Taliban Song is freakin’ hilarious.
BTW, the album has “sons of b*tches” where “knuckleheads” is, and in the last line he says “flip a big boner to” instead of “flip a couple fingers to”.
Didn’t perform this one in concert on Saturday, darn!
Well, if you want to avoid more country, here a a few more suggestions:
“The Innocent” by Mest, Good Charlotte, and Goldfinger. Lyrics are here
“Overcome” by Live. Not written as a 9/11 song, but released shortly thereafter and kind of turned into a tribute. There’s a version that has cuts to news clips of the day and days after 9/11 that I like.
