Could possibly add OMD's Enola Gay to that list.

U2's album 'the unforgettable fire' was inspired by an art exhibition of the same name, which I believe featured artwork by children who survived Hiroshima. Pretty harrowing stuff to see.

Made it to my friends list on the Rush song, in addition to the nifty entries. ;)

The Rush song isn't my favourite of theirs. I think Peart misses the point that Hiroshima wasn't the last shot of WW2, but the opening shot of the Cold War. A city died in agony not to cow Hirohito, but to put the fear into Joe Stalin. Still, the subject matter is appropriate.

Of course, anyone who uses an animated MST3K icon is good in my book.
