I am pleased to be able to suggest “God Save the Queen” by the Sex Pistols.
KMFDM. I’m fond of Brute or Ultra when I’m mad at the world. But just about anything will do.
If you’re feeling insane angry, Pig is a good choice. Contempt is good. Salambo* is better.
-
- angry sex to Salambo is mind blowing.
Slayer
All Slayer, all the time.
Especially their last 2 albums, Diabolus In Musica and God Hates Us All.
These guys are simply the greatest hard rock/metal/thrash/hardcore band ever. And they are pissed off.
Oh, and Dillinger Escape Plan is pretty good, too.
(There’s lots of others, but them there’s my $.02)
Bo
I’d second Public Enemy - ‘It takes a Nation of Millions to Hold Us Back’ - and Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds ‘Live Seeds’. He sounds positively livid on that.
John Cage: “Fear”
So, uh, how YOU doin’?
I saw it mentioned above, but have to repeat it: ya can’t go wrong with Rage Against the Machine. Haven’t been mentioned: Nine Inch Nails. I’m also kinda surprised at how many Pretenders tunes fulfill the need of angry listening.
The Melvins - Hostile Ambient Takeover
Afghan Whigs - Gentlemen
Clutch - Blast Tyrant
Helmet - Meantime
Nine Inch Nails - Broken
Jucifer - Calling All Cars on the Vegas Strip
Defones - Adrenalize
Alice in Chains - Dirt
- Diamanda Galas: Extraordinary body of work. Check out the recent Defixions-- Will and Testament
- Atrax Morgue: Angry at everything and everyone. Beware!
- Today I’m Dead: No joy here.
- Propergol: Enough anger to move mountains.
Queens of the Stone Age
The Prodigy
Do you want pissed off music or just agressive music? I’ve thrown in some WASP over the last couple of days, the newer stuff, and man does Blackie Lawless seem pissed off. I always thought that you got less pissed off as you got older.
More agressive music, you can never go wrong with some Motorhead. There’s also a band called Rage from Germany that’s very good as well.
I can think of no other more angry song than Breakstuff by Limp Bizkit
Just a few of the top of my head…
Hope- Descendents
Screaming at a Wall- Minor Threat
Pretty much the entire Hatebreed catalog
I Will Kill You- Cannibal Corpse
Wish- Nine Inch Nails
Opiate- Tool
March of the Fire Ants- Mastodon
Scapegoat- Fear Factory
New Level- Pantera
My Right- Screeching Weasel
My Plague- Slipknot
Soil- System of a Down
Wolfsblood and Where Eagles Dare- Misfits
I have to agree with Snowboarder Bo on the recent Slayer tracks, especially the last track on God Hates Us All- Payback. That song just rips.
Nothing says “angry music”
with songs like:
Smack My Bitch Up
Firestarter
Fuel My Fire
You’ll Be Under My Wheels
Baby’s Got A Temper
Metal is good for aggressive music, but with few exceptions, specifically angry metal just sucks. If you want pissed off music, you need old hardcore–Black Flag, Minor Threat, Sick of it All, Dead Kennedys, etc.
Stupid Motherfucker by Mindless Self Indulgence is my go-to angry song.
“No More Mr. Nice Guy” by Alice Cooper
“So What” by the Anti-Nowhere Leauge, and the cover version by Metallica
“Last Caress/Green Hell” by Metallica
“Polaris” by Megadeth
“Get in the Ring” by Guns N’ Roses
You know, the group who recently covered “Panzerlied” in Germany did jail time? And like a lot of wermacht songs, they sing it in the French Foreign Legion (slowly).
“Jewish Princess,” and a lot of other stuff by Frank Zappa
“You’re Breaking My Heart so Fuck You” by Harry Nilsson
“Tons of Time” by Golden Earring
“The Annoying Song” by the Butthole Surfers
Belly of the Beast - Anthrax
Sabbath Bloody Sabbath - Black Sabbath(I have it and the Anthrax cover)
I Wanna Be Somebody - WASP
Let There Be Rock & Whole Lotta Rosie - AC/DC - not quite ‘pissed off’ music but that opening riff for both can get the blood flowin.
Baddest of the Bad - The Reverend Horton Heat
Sex Type Thing - Stone Temple Pilots
Three bands specifically come to mind:
Ministry
Fear
Rage against the Machine
