A few random ones I've used:
Chris de Burgh - The Sound of a Gun - if nothing else the line "mother! mother! mother! hush child go to sleep, it's only the sound of a gun." There are quite a few nice tracks of his that work well, "Up Here in Heaven" "Say Goodbye to it All" "Borderline" "The Revolution" "Oh My Brave Hearts" is good for resistance characters and for spy games "Moonlight and Vodka"
Andy Parker - "Soldier, Soldier2 - if players have seen this TV series the music is fantastic to use
Magnum - "Need a Lot of Love"
Blind Guardian - "And Then There Was Silence" - an epic song about the Trojan War
Basil Poledouris - "The Hunt for Red October" - whole album is ideal although you could use something by the Red Army Choir as an alternative. His Starship Troopers album is also a possibility
British Regimental marches work well as my players at least half know them
Dire Straits - "Brothers in Arms"
Some games have decent soundtracks - MoA and CoD for example plus the 40k games have great soundtracks
Mary Fahl - "Going Home" from Gods and Generals
