2) “Run to the Hills” by Iron Maiden

Perhaps one of Iron Maiden’s best-known songs, the song is somewhat sympathetic to the plight of American Indians, but also takes the point of view of their conquerors. The video, which splices performance footage from their 1982 album Number of the Beast with black and white cowboys and indian films, doesn’t really take any sides either, making the battle between the white man and Indians look more comical than anything else.
