History, it doesn't repeat itself by it rhymes - and sings (occasionally!) History is not a huge part of popular music, but every now and the, a historical event is celebrated in a song. But which song perfectly memorialises a historical event? We consider some of the options here. The contenders are The New York Mining Disaster - Bee Gees; The Night they Drove Old Dixie Down - The Band; BAP - Kristallnacht; X - 4th of July, Die Briels - Die Graf in die Myn and Red Army Blues - The Waterboys.
