Angry Songs

Likin' the selections, SC.

Master of Puppets - Metallica
Dyers' Eve - Metallica
Greed - Godsmack
I F**king Hate You - Godsmack
Almost anything from RATM

 

The Jam gets mentioned.

Yay.

"Oliver's Army" — Elvis Costello

 

"Kim" by Eminem blows all of these songs way out of the fucking water.

It's so angry it's borderline psychotic.

 

Wait another minute/Can't you see what this pain has fuckin' done to me?
I'm alive and still kickin'/What you see I can't see and maybe you'll think before you speak.

(chorus)
I'm alive for you/I'm awake because of you.
I'm alive I told you/I'm awake swallowing you!

Take another second/Turn your back on me and make believe that you're always happy.
It's safe to say that you're never alive/A big part of you has died and by the way, I hope you're satisfied.

(chorus)

Tearin' it back, unveiling me!
Takin' a step back so I can breathe.
Hear the silence about to break.
Fear resistance when I'm awake!
(repeat)

(chorus X2)

- Godsmack/Awake

That and Sick of Life are two songs I'd love to have as closer music, especially the intro for SoL. And I forget who said it, but it's more like 3/4 of Pantera's stuff could be background for crackin' skulls.

 

Borderline?

 

It's not even rapping. He's just yelling.

 

Same here, and I'm not ashamed to admit I still love that song.

 

"She F**king Hates Me" -- Puddle Of Mudd

"They Want It All" -- Crosby and Nash

True story: I heard this for the first time in Baltimore when CSN was touring. David Crosby introduced the song as a "pissed off rocker" and said it was about "the boys at Enron." By the time the song was done, I was cheering wildly and Crosby looked out at the audience and said, "you know, as a singer-songwriter, it's great when an audience can get your new songs. Thank you very much, I appreciate it." I could have SWORN he was looking straight at me. I was REALLY into this song at the show.

 

"Mother, Mother" by someone named Tracy Bonham. It was the 2nd song I thought of after I saw the thread title (after "You Oughta Know"). I heard it a few hours ago on some channel on Sirius. The way she screams out "Everything's FINE" is angry as hell. And scary.

 

I've got a very big problem with "You Oughta Know."

 

Come PIck me Up -- Ryan Adams

Fortunate Son -- CCR

Pretty much anything the Dead Kennedys did

 

Don't Want to Know if Your are Lonely — Husker Du
Won't Get Fooled Again — The Who
Hit the Road Jack — Ray Charles (?)
My War — Black Flag
Earl Had to Die — Dixie Chicks
