There really should be no argument here : Bob Dylan : Blowin' In The Wind. It's the one song that will be just as familiar in a hundred years as it is today. It's almost hard to believe that there was a time not that long ago when the song didn't exist.

One of my favorites was 'I'm Your Flag' by the English Beat.
I always considered Blowin in the Wind to be more of a protest song w/pacifist overtones, whereas Masters Of War was like an old testament thunderbolt and therefore my "best" anti-war song.

My favorites:
Gods of War – Bruce Dickinson
The Call Up – The Clash
Zombie – Cranberries
2 Minutes to Midnight - Iron Maiden
Afraid to Shoot Strangers - Iron Maiden
* Iron Maiden has a lot of great songs about war, but they are not necessarily anti-war (nor pro-war, just about war).
