> [@carnivorousplant](#): > > [Paint It, Black.](http://www.lyricsfreak.com/r/rolling+stones/paint+it+black_20117875.html) The Rolling Stones. I’m not sure if bitterness counts here, but for The Stones, I can’t look any further than [Dead Flowers](http://www.lyricsfreak.com/r/rolling+stones/dead+flowers_20117890.html). ---

Vengeance by New Model Army makes me want to punch penguins and kick kittens. RAAAARRRRRGGGGGHHHHHH. And that’s before I’ve even listened to it. And the ragga rap in Genaside II by Narra Mine sends me primal. ---

“Play with Fire” by the Stones, although some might argue it’s more menacing than angry. ---

“I’m So Angry” by Alice Cooper is pretty angry. I was going to nominate “I Hate” by Overkill, but I was beaten to it, However, I would also include their song “F— You” Steppenwolf seems pretty angry in songs like ‘From Here to There Eventually’ and ‘the pusher’ ---

\*\*Sam Hall \*\*-- not sure who wrote it originally, it may be traditional, but Johnny Cash did a version of it on his “The Man Comes Around” CD. _“I’ll see you all in Hell, damn your eyes!”_ ---

> [@Leaffan](#): > > I thought it was an anti-Viet Nam war song. As I recall, **Paint It Black** was written after the death of Jagger’s beloved aunt who helped raise him. My memory could be fuzzy, though. ---

I always thought Stevie Wonders “You Haven’t Done Nothing” was pretty angry, but reading through the lyrics here, [Stevie Wonder - You Haven't Done Nothing Lyrics | AZLyrics.com](http://www.azlyrics.com/lyrics/steviewonder/youhaventdonenothing.html), it’s pretty mild compared to some of today’s rap. P.S. I didn’t know the Jackson 5 did the "doo doo wop"s. ---

Some good suggestions re: Ice Cube, NWA, Public Enemy, etc. Any fans might want to check out a rapper by the name of [Paris](http://www.sjoki.uta.fi/~tejpla/paris/sleeping.html), less well-known but a notch up the angry scale. In particular for angry songs, check out The Devil Made Me, The Hate That Hate Made, Sleeping With The Enemy, and Bush Killa. ---

Clutch’s [Binge and Purge](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pmVbCXGLkFQ) kinda makes me want to fight people. I’ve never been in a fight, but I’m pretty sure if I were, and this song was playing in the background, I’d be invincible. ---

“Song for the Dumped” by Ben Folds Five isn’t on the level of some of the others in this thread, but it’s a nice angry little song. ---

I know it gets played as a parody a lot, but Great Idea For A Song seems pretty angry to me: [QUOTE=Worm Quartet] Remember when we used to hold each other close And gaze so deeply in each others’ eyes Remember how I said I’d never let you go And how you swore you’d never tell me lies (You do? Well…) All I remember is the way you nonchalantly squashed my heart just like a cockroach on the floor All I remember is the happiness I felt the day I finally kicked your skank ass out the door [/QUOTE] ---

Many/most Rage Against the Machine, Pantera, Godsmack, and Nine Inch Nails songs. [Disposable Teens - Marilyn Manson](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g6O4sw4NmMM) [Anti Nowhere League - So What](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AH7pOUm5s9k&feature=related) [Linkin Park - One Step Closer](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uc-RGQ69Z6A&feature=related) “Shut up when I’m talking to you!” [Misfits - Attitude](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uijnGTq4wgI) (and I’d probably add “Last Caress”) [Kid Rock - Fuck Off](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lAam_B4uHPo) I know Kid Rock is semi-lame, but this song really gets me stirred up. And the Eminem part at the end is actually pretty good. [Godsmack - I Fucking Hate You](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fkBU1aD88z8) Straight and to the point ---

“Somebody Put Something In My Drink” by the Ramones is a good hostile raving drunk song. If there’s such a thing as an angry instrumental, I’d pick “Shit Sandwich” by Satan’s Pilgrims. ---
