Thanks to my own idiocy, WordPress ate most of the post I was working on, and it’s too fun of an idea to publish a truncated version, so we’re going to celebrate that fact with a different topic. Today’s theme is RAGE. Pick up to ten of the angriest songs you’d like to hear (maybe Fozz will even stop by for a song or two) and let’s give ’em a spin. I’ll get us started with one that’s not actually all that angry, but does a nice job of capturing what I’d like to do to my computer monitor at this very moment.

Thread is suffering from a distinct lack of Big Bill Broonzy.

Do you think a tune that repeats “Anger is an energy” 25 times in four and a half minutes qualifies? Please cast your votes below.

I’m pretty sure this is a rage filled song. I don’t really know what it means. Sounds ragey

Milk it by Nirvana is the greatest song to listen to loud when you are angry!! GRRRRR!!!

I don’t care if we think of this like a living manifestation of Hot Topic’s id. This is a legitimately catchy song. Simple and addictive riff.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ypkv0HeUvTc
that’s a +1 for “Hot Topic’s id”
Musical guest, Hot Topic Id!

I had a coworker who had this song cued up on his desktop at all times, and as soon as somebody started loudly bitching, you’d just hear it start playing.
3. Go on, take everything good sir.

Speak for yourself. I have a tattoo of Chief Wahoo on my ass in support of the [*Redacted] s.
Bon Scott was an angry enough fella at times.

Really almost no one has more right to be angry in America than young black men. I mean there are Native Americans, but there aren’t too many of them left.

I dunno man…the real racists are the people who talk about racism.

May have posted this here before, but the rushed, in the moment apology kills me. Like watching Kevin McDonald lose his mind in a KitH sketch. Also, the lyric isn’t supposed to be “Saying yes”

Oh man. Angry fucking riot-grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrl. I could just post about 75% of Kathleen Hannah’s ouevre and be done.

Beavis and Butt-head’s reaction to “This Love” is probably my favorite one they have every done.
