Couple of them:

1. Paul Sanchez - I Can’t Stand You Now (The Hate Song)

> [@](#):

And so forth.

“She Fucking Hates Me” by Puddle of Mud was great during my last breakup. Suprisingly, it also seems to help during other random times of stress.

“Let The Bodies Hit The Floor” is a great one. I also like “Break Stuff” by Limp Bizkit. The whole Orgy “Candyass” CD works wonders as well.

That was probably Six Feet Under “No Warning Shot” with a “die motherfucker die” chorus I was thinking of. I don’t own it, I just Googled Die MF’r Die and got Ja Rule. After I posted, I got to thinking that didn’t sound like Ja Rule :smack:

When pushed too far, and with an added air of defiance on my part, I’ll also add _They Ain’t Making Jews Like Jesus Anymore_ by Kinky Friedman.

“Bad Reputation” by Halfcocked, and–oddly enough–“Woo Hoo” by the 5.6.7.8’s. Don’t ask me why, it just gets in my head at the strangest times.

a classic “angry breakup” song is [Queensryche’s “I Don’t Believe in Love” off the Operation Mindcrime disc…](http://songlyrics.com/song-lyrics/Queensryche/Operation_Mindcrime/I_Don_t_Believe_In_Love/71508.html)

I don’t believe in love  
I never have, I never will  
I don’t believe in love  
It’s never worth the pain that you feel…

I don’t believe in love  
I never have, I never will  
I don’t believe in love  
I’ll just pretend she never was real

And for some weird, weird reason, just lately when I’ve gotten angry, “One Man Army” by Our Lady Peace has been popping up. It doesn’t quite fit. I don’t even like them that much…
