well? :lol: these are all on youtube by the way, type "guerra civil" after the title if you can't find an old version. oh and it should be "Los Cuatros Generales" instead of "Las" but too late to fix now.

and obviously i left out some of the best ones like "Somos los soldados vascos," "Los reyes de la baraja" etc.

Oh yeah, that's a pretty important one. xD. The tune is actually from an older Polish socialist song, the "Workers' Marseillaise," although I've heard it has yiddish folk origins (and similar is true of most of these I'm sure)

I couldn't find a video of it and it's not in Spanish but it's a great song. It's Phil Ochs and the title is Spanish Civil War Song.

No A Las Barricadas?
It probably would have gotten too many of the votes easily.

Not a Spanish Civil War song, but I found a really good anti-Fascist song about the French Resistance. Leonard Cohen's The Partisan.

One of my absolute favourite is Arroja la bomba (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oNGuWp2zHxE).

I really like Ernst Busch - Hans Beimler (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ROUX0eHazQg&feature=related) as well.

Other than that, I couldnt really name a favourite, pretty much every song on the list gives me goosebumps.

Comrades, comrades, comrades, how could you have forgotten this one, perhaps the greatest of them all?

In my town square
said the master journeyman
"Our children will be born
with a raised fist. "
This land is not mine
this land which is the master
the irrigation with my sweat
the work with my hands.
But tell me, mate,
if this land is the master
Why we've never seen
working on the plow?
With my plow furrows open
I write with my plow
Pages on earth
of misery and sweat
