I like me some angry music. Try some **Godsmack** , they’re pretty pissed off. “I Fucking Hate You” and “Whatever” come to mind. **Pantera’s** “Vulgar Display of Power” album rocks. Especially songs like “Fucking Hostile.” Just about anything from **Rage Against the Machine**. Some **Misfits** might be in order too. From “Where Eagles Dare”: “I ain’t no god damn son of a bitch, you better think about it baby!” **Black Flag** is some great angry music too. **Linkin Park’s**"One Step Closer"and “In The End.” **Guns N’ Roses** “Welcome to the Jungle”, “Right Next Door to Hell”, “Out Ta Get Me”. **Nirvana** has a pretty angry sound. “Milk It”, “Tourette’s”, “Radio Friendly Unit Shifter.” **Smashing Pumpkins** “Bullet with Butterfly Wings”, “Zero” I’ve got more but that’s enough for now. ---

**Tuckerfan** , the song you’re looking for is “Why D’ya Do It” by Marianne Faithfull. I can’t think of a really _angry_ Beatles song, but for that stumbling-around-in-your-bathrobe-at-2:00-a.m.-vaguely-pissed-off-at-the-world vibe, you can’t beat “I’m So Tired.” ---

Try some ICP (aka “Insane Clown Posse”). ---

Oh, and Korn. They do a great, albeit condensed, take on all three parts of “Another Brick in the Wall”. ---

I’ll also recommend Metallica, but add the entire S&M album. Metallica with a symphony orchestra kicks much ass. Can’t go wrong with just about anything by Eminem. The ultimate drive fast, heart pumping, ass kickingest angry song for me is “After the Flesh” by My Life with the Thrill Kill Kult. ---

My favorite “angry song” is _Saviour Machine_ by David Bowie. ---

> [@Harborwolf](#): > > I’ll also recommend Metallica, but add the entire S&M album. Metallica with a symphony orchestra kicks much ass. Bleh. S&M seems interesting at first with the orchestra, but then it degenerates into Metallica playing their songs like normal, but with the orchestra in the background. “No Leaf Clover” is a good song though, maybe it was written with the orchestra in mind because it seems to fit better. ---

Anything by System of a Down or Rage Against the Machine will get you off, so to speak. :mad: ---

“I Can See for Miles” - The Who. The most bad-assed song they ever did. “Shoot Out the Lights” - Richard Thompson ---

IndyGrl mentioned **Prong** - _Snap Your Fingers_, that’s a good one. I am a huge huge metalhead. So my list might be sorta obscure and/or not acceptable to all, but here goes. **Meshuggah** - _New Millenium Cyanide Christ_ and _Perpetual Black Second_ are good examples. Anything by them would do. **Fear Factory** This music is far less heavy than Meshuggah. Stand out “angry” tracks are _Edgecrusher_ and _Hurt Conveyor_ **Katatonia** Mostly known for their “gloom metal” or “shoe-gaze rock”. They have produced some angry music. _Leaders_ and _Consternation_ are pretty good examples. **Scarve** - _Asphyxiate_ **Strapping Young Lad** A band fronted by Canada’s own Devin Townsend. They trade in angry songs, but some stand-outs are _Love_ and _AAA_. **Darkane** with _Layers of Lies_ and _Secondary Effects_ **Mnemic** - _Overdose In The Hall of Fame_ **Hypocrisy** - _Destroyed_ **Anathema** - Pulled Under At 2000 Metres Per Second **Rush** - _Stick It Out_ **Subdive** - _Gasoline_ **Sepultura** - _Choke_ and _Territory_ If you’d like to learn more about metal and aggressive music, consult your local library. Or message me! 😃 ---

Jeeze, can’t belive I missed Mojo Nixon, although I guess that’s a sort of goofy special kind of angry. Although “You Can’t Kill Me” and “Burn Down the Malls” are nicely angry.
